Fiamma

The thermometer reads 1,000 degrees—or even a few ticks more inside the oven at Fiamma. Each day, the pizza makers stoke the wood-powered fire until it reaches these high temperatures, temperatures so high that the Neapolitan-style pizzas are bubbling and golden-brown in less than a minute. These pies are topped with blistered mozzarella, spicy pancetta, and sweet butternut squash purée—just to name a few ingredients that fit into the chefs' pizza holsters. The rest of the menu is home to dishes inspired by the southern Campania region of Italy, such as pasta dishes tossed with creamed potato and smoked mozzarella.
