Antico Pizza Napoletana
Operated by Master Pizza Chef Giovanni Di Palma, Antico Pizza Napoletana opened as a take-out restaurant, but quickly became much, much more as word of his authentic Italian pizzas spread. A bright yellow building that was once home to a bakery, this pizza place has a bit of a quirky side because visitors to this establishment will discover that "dining in", means standing and joining a communal table if you want to enjoy your pizza there. Since Giovanni Di Palma trained in Italy and has served his pizzas to Pope John Paul and former President Bill Clinton, diners seem to think the experience is worth it.
