Pizza BarPizza Bar is part take-out counter, part trendy pizza joint. Sand-colored brick walls, a refined wooden bar and flat screens that endlessly loop movies starring Pacino or De Niro create a polished vibe. Baker Vito Giovinco is in charge of this Miami-style slice. With full-sleeve tats and a coif that would make the Fonz blush, he’s a Sicilian pizza man with a Bensonhurst bent. His 30-inch pies have a uniformly thin crust topped with San Marzano tomato sauce and are baked in a slate oven for a golden finish.
