Sottocasa Harlem is a wood-fired Neapolitan pizzeria opened in 2016, known for leopard-spotted pies baked in a tiled oven and a tight list of Italian wines. Locals use it for sit-down pizza nights where charred crusts, quality toppings, and a cozy brick-walled room feel more like a trattoria than a slice shop.
Must-Try Dishes: Margherita pizza, Prosciutto Crudo pie, Nutella dessert pizza
