Our last pizza adventure was at Brunetti Pizza in the West Village (great score of 8.2 on the app). Brunetti is a cool little Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant, with a front and back patio (we sat in the front along the sidewalk), that cooks 20 pizza varieties in their custom-built brick oven. Wendy seemed intrigued by the Meatball Pizza ($19), topped with chef & owner’s wife’s famous “Mary’s Meatballs”, ricotta, basil, house-made mozzarella, and San Marzano Tomato sauce. Admittedly it sounded delicious so we ordered it, even though normally I wouldn’t get a Meatball pizza, and I am glad we did.
The crust had that charred bubbly Neapolitan quality which we love and still maintained the tender chewy bite. The meatball chunks were moist and delicious, the sauce was just slightly sweet, and the combination of cheeses worked perfectly. Surprisingly their Meatball pie was my favourite pizza we ate in NYC and I would definitely recommend Brunetti to anyone staying or checking out the West Village section of Manhattan.
