Well, a slew of pizzerias have been popping up all over NYC, truly making this city a pizza lover's dream destination. One recent addition that rises above the rest is Co. (pronounced company).
In January 2009, Co. was opened by the Sullivan Street Bakery owner Jim Lahey in Chelsea. Therefore, the focus of your meal at Co. is definitely the bread - the no-knead pizza dough is baked at around 700 degrees in a wood-burning oven imported from Modena (pizzas range from $9-$18). The toppings are also pretty out of this world. My favorite is the stracciatella (an extremely creaming version of mozzarella), but there are more exotic choices, such as the veal meatballs, fresh spinach, prosciutto, brussels sprouts, béchamel and chestnuts (oh my!). In addition to pizza, the menu also offers breads, salads, meats and cheeses, soups and great draft beer options ($8 for a draft, $25 for a pitcher).
Co. also has long wooden tables that enforce a communal dining experience - believe me, you might come in for some stellar pizza, but you will definitely leave with a new friend or ten.
Support Co. this Sunday, January 30th at NYCChiliFest 2011.
