New York Pizza
Festival takes over
Arthur Avenue
BY ALEX MITCHELL
Arthur Avenue hosted one of the
most exciting and delicious events of
the year on Saturday, October 5 and
Sunday, October 6.
The New York Pizza Festival shut
down Belmont with a plethora a pizza
options for the thousands who made
the trip from literally all over the
world for the glorifi ed taste test.
Famed pizza champion and chef
Vincenzo Capuano traveled in from
Naples to serve up brick oven pies
along with his energetic crew that
couldn’t help but to sing and shout
along in the process.
“We’ve been waiting for this one
all year!” he exclaimed while serving
out a special bacon and egg breakfast
pie made on a special dough.
Another notables slice came
from Harry’s Pizza in Miami where
braised short rib found its way onto
a pie topped with delicious honey
glaze.
While there were plenty of other
options to pull from that weekend,
two Bronx pizzerias especially
shined.
Puglsey Pizza in Fordham served
up a slice familiar to many of its
Bronx customers by the hands of Salvatore
Natale along with his iconic
gong that he invited the masses to
hit for good luck in a vibrant way of
projecting one’s dreams out into the
world.
Zero Otto Nove of Arthur Avenue
was also present serving up what’s
been ranked as the best slice of pizza
in New York from multiple food and
news outlets.
Until the next New York Pizza Festival,
ciao!
