Just had lunch there.  Very good pie and good guys (btw, they are Albanian, not Italian, but they lived in Naples).  I asked the one making the pies what his signature pie was so I could try to get the best representation of their style and he recommended the Margherita Verace, a red pie with sauce from San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozz, basil and evoo.  Good, chewy crust, but a bit too floppy and lacking in char to warrant a top grade.  Like Bufalina, it is more similar to the pizza I had in Italy than New Haven-style apizza is, but it is not as good as Bufalina.  No shame in that, though; I think it's better than Strega in Branford, Krust in Middletown or Otto in Chester, all of which are variations on that same theme. I would place it on par with Next Door.

Only personal pizzas; no slices.  Apps and pastas that I did not sample.  Owner offered me an espresso on the house, which was a nice touch.

I will be back.
