Italian Pizza
Directions
Don't get us wrong — the pizza at Pino's is sublime: crisp, doughy crusts topped with tangy marinara and fresh ingredients of your choice (we ask for extra cheese and anchovies when we go, but that's just us). But we're mad for the Greek Salad here. It's huge and tasty, stuffed with flavor from fresh lettuces, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives. A big handful of shredded mozzarella on top, and a fresh-baked side of homemade bread makes this the best lunch or dinner on the block. But don't let that be your only starter — everyone who's ever had them swears by Pino's meatballs, either as a side to their many delicious pasta dishes or as an hors d'oeuvre. Hot and spicy, they're the real deal, straight from Roma! Read our review.
