IL LEONE 158 7th AVE PARK SLOPE....WHERE ONCE THERE WAS TAPAS,NOW THERE IS A CROWD; LOBSTER PIZZA?

HARD TO GET A SEAT HERE, BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE VALENTINE'S DAY THE SEATS

OPENED,

Robbie was more than a waiter. He was adviser/ host. Ben Wexler-Waite is more than an owner...he is pizziola and chef. Apop up wagon/oven near PORTLAND MAINE IS key to the origin story. This spot is the here and now story.


LOBSTER PIZZA FEATURESMaine lobster and great pizza. we know Brooklyn PIZZA. I also know PIZZA BIANCA IN Arizona...so why not MAINE. LOBSTER(ISOLA)PIZZA IS NOT INCONGRUOUS....

IT IS A LOVE STORY1

Reviewers have caution not to miss their other pies.We had the pie which whose fame came from curiosity, twin loves and serendipity. The rest will be there. HOWEVER, the meatballs and fried artichokes (polpette and carciofi) had a duty to wet the appetite. the Rivolta Fiano wine was also a critical player.
