8.1
A slice counter that leans into rich toppings—especially burrata—making it a strong late-night choice when you want something creamy, filling, and a bit more composed than a standard cheese slice. Best used as a two-slice move: one signature burrata slice plus one classic to balance the richness.
Must-Try Dishes:
Burrata basil slice, Sicilian slice, Eggplant-and-burrata slice
What makes it special: Burrata-forward slices that feel like a late-night upgrade.
8
A Tokyo-Neapolitan-leaning pizza room with a tighter, more curated menu and a pairing-friendly drink program. The best experience is to treat it like a tasting: start with a classic pie for baseline, then add one seasonal or house specialty.
Must-Try Dishes:
Margherita pizza, Seasonal specialty pizza, Beer pairing flight
What makes it special: Neapolitan-leaning pies designed for thoughtful pairings and a curated night out.

Soppressata Napoletana, Truffle & Speck Pizza, Eggplant Parmigiana
What makes it special: Neapolitan pies plus a broad Italian menu in a roomy space.
