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!
