"Frank Tuttolomondo bet his life savings on Mama’s Too. His popular pizzeria had been open on the Upper West Side for five years. Mama’s Too opened in the West Village earlier this month. The slice shop has enough electric ovens to power an apartment building and, for the first time, there’s indoor seating. The sandwich specials, which used to be offered once a week, are now available every day. The pizzeria is known for its square slices. They’re displayed on trays by the register in flavors like cacio e pepe and pear with gorgonzola cheese. The slices are cooked in olive oil until they’re tender in the middle and basically fried on the bottom. My favorite is the house slice — a triangle, not a square — which Tuttolomondo says is inspired by the legendary pizzeria Di Fara. It looks and tastes almost identical to the one at L’Industrie, except for two things: the crust is thicker — more chew, less crunch — and the toppings are layered in reverse: cheese first, then sauce. The first thing you taste is tomatoes." - Luke Fortney
