Domenica

"When chef Alon Shaya won his James Beard award for Best Chef, South in 2015, he was executive chef at Domenica in the Roosevelt Hotel, an Italian restaurant from BRG Hospitality. Valeriano Chiella, a native of Campania in southern Italy, started with the company in 2014 as a line cook, working his way up to executive chef in 2021. The daily half-price pizza happy hours from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. are wildly popular." - Beth D'Addono

"Domenica remains a popular destination for thin-crust Neopolitan style pizza, homemade pasta, and other Italian specialties. The restaurant earned chef Alon Shaya a James Beard Award for Best Chef: South when he headed the kitchen back in 2015. Epic happy hour 3 to 5 p.m. daily, including half-price pies." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Domenica in the Roosevelt is a fine place for creative pizza, pasta, Italian charcuterie, and cocktails, situated directly across the street from the Orpheum Theater. Early birds take note, daily happy hour runs from 3 to 5 p.m., with half-priced pizzas, draft beers, well cocktails, and wine by the glass. Bar seats are at a premium." - Beth D'Addono

"The name Domenica stands for “Sunday” in Italian, which is fitting since the vibe here is as chill as it is festive. Come here for the best pizza this side of the Mississippi (the roasted carrot pie is unreal) and really great veggie dishes, like the whole head of cauliflower and fried Tuscan kale. Even more reason to love this place? It’s situated in the ultra luxe Roosevelt hotel which is worth a visit, and hosts a daily happy hour with half-price pizza and wine. "
