Crostata's has some new competition
C-Town Eats reports on the opening of a new pizzeria in Little Italy: La Pizzeria. Their website promises the best pizza and gelato in Little Italy. C-Town Eats report doubles as a very favorable review, but also questions whether the area isn’t already saturated. Maybe, I’m not aware of the available options but I can’t think of too many. Anthony’s has gelato but I’ll certainly welcome a newcomer if the quality is better. Several shops in the area serve pizza, but the only real pizzeria in the area is Mama Santa’s, right? The bakeries serve cold slices. Do any of the restaurants serve pizza?
And speaking of Mama Santa’s, what’s the deal with Papa Santi’s? I spotted them recently in Woodmere, across the street from Whole Foods. The website doesn’t recognize any affiliation with Mama Santa’s but the names are clearly complementary. The menu promises sweets made fresh daily, so I’m definitely interest in this place.
Valentino’s, wonderful NY-style pie, is directly across the street. Maxi’s has decent but pricey pizza. Presti’s sells gelato, tho who makes it I’m not sure. Anthony’s sells good homemade gelato.
