South Perry Pizza

This neighborhood pizza joint spearheaded a new transformation in the South Perry neighborhood when it opened in December of 2009. From the minimalist interior to a menu that covers the basics, simplicity is the mantra. And it works. Classic pies such as the house pizza ($14) — which features pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage and caramelized onions — satisfy the traditionalists, while the mascarpone-based prosciutto pizza ($14) is more reminiscent of its European counterparts. This is Italian done the way Americans love it. (August 2012)
