"Ordering pizza for the toppings alone would be a pretty silly thing to do, right? Nobody would peel bell peppers off of a veggie slice to make fajitas. But I would absolutely get a pepperoni pie from takeout pop-up Dantini just to harvest the sweet, caramelized, almost-creamy garlic confit on top. Thankfully, everything else about this pizza is excellent, too— the crust is crackly, chewy, and gets along with globs of fresh mozzarella and abundance of smoky pepperoni cups with crunchy edges. I ate a lot of pizza this year, but Dantini will always have my heart (and my money). -AR" - carlo mantuano, aimee rizzo
