KINNEY
THE SOPHIA LOREN
HAM & YEEZY
THE KINGSLEY
Dine at SOUTHEND and you can basically trick your tongue into believing you’re in Venice—Italy, that is. Enjoy the Kinney with a flavorful basil pesto and crushed Roma tomatoes. Rest assured, you’re in good hands, the chef crisps the pizza to perfection.
Cannoli imagine one more slice, please. Who says NY has the only good pizza in America? Not us. Vito’s Pizza hits a high note that so many others just can’t reach. Skip the red sauce and go for The Sophia Loren with caramelized onions, goat cheese, arugula and pine nuts. Yum!
All hail peppers, especially when it’s on a pizza. Jon & Vinny’s take on Italian cuisine becomes its own language, mixing traditional favorites with trendy West Coast influences. For when you want to go classic, the Ham & Yeezy should be your goto with smoked mozzarella and fresh red onion.
Yes, Koreatown and pizza can be said in the same sentence. As a matter of fact, it’s no surprise that Bulgogi beef plus mozzarella cheese makes for the most satisfying combination, ever. But don’t just take our word for it, go try it for yourself.

MUST ORDER: SAFFRON TORCHIETTI
e So good you won’t want to share, although apparently, you’re supposed to. Alimento takes all the modern influences of Italian cuisine and injects even more artful futurism than imaginable.
