Ava's Pizzeria & Wine Bar (St. Michaels, MD)
Margherita ∙
Excellent Neapolitan style pizza. The staff is delightful and the pizza is even better. There are plenty of creative options, and the margherita gets it done. If you happen to be in the tiny fishing town, stop and enjoy a great pie.
Ghibellina (Washington, DC)
Margherita di Bufala ∙
I would have to say that the sauce is the winner here. Tangy and sweet, yet doesn’t try to compete with buffalo mozz. The crust is quintessential 90 second Neapolitan bake, lots of mobility when served. For some delectable heat, I’d highly suggest the house chili oil drizzled over your pizza. The uncut pie is served with large scissors, which is a fun addition to the experience. I would surely recommend – the ambiance is intimately lit, uniquely decorated, and other menu items were tasty as well.
2020 UPDATE:
The original 14th st location unfortunately closed during covid. Apparently the team has reopened in NE under “Via Ghibellina” – looking forward to checking out the new digs!
Louie Bossi's Ristorante Bar Pizzeria (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
PICCANTE: spicy salami, fior di latte, basil, sweet drop peppers ∙
They must have changed this pie since I’ve been the few times in 2017-2018 for work. I absolutely LOVE Las Olas Blvd…it is such a fun area. Louie Bossi’s is the spot, with a fantastic menu and creatively designed restaurant. The pizza is wonderful, and you get all the glitzy vibes of up and coming FLL. The spicy salami and sweet drop pepper combination makes for a flavorful bite. Powered with San Marzano sauce, they call it Pizza Al Forno – Rosso, which means “red oven.”
