Our last stop on Jodi’s birthday was Don Antonio, a pizza joint located midtown from the owner of Kesté Pizza & Vino, Roberto Caporuscio, that serves fried pizza. Yes, you read it well: fried pizza. But do not imagine something gross: this is a bit crispy and delicious, while being very slightly greasy. Not that all their pizza is like that, but usually, when we go there or talk about this place, this is what we get:

We tried two fried pizza. The first one was their signature, the Montanara, that is a lightly fried pizza dough topped with tomato sauce, smoked buffalo mozzarella and basil.

The second was the Quattro formaggi, a white pie made with buffalo mozzarella, gran cru pecorino, caciocavallo ragusano, parmigiano reggiano, crescenza BelGioioso, basil and olive oil. Between the two pizzas, this was my favorite: like the other one, the sides were nicely puffed up and charred, crispy, with a thin center, and it had lots of cheese.

With it, we got some Italian soda.

So it was a great meal and Jodi as happy that we could get a table for her birthday, but with all the food we had that day, we skipped dessert…The pizza at Don Antonio is very good and definitely a treat. The fact that it is fried is however more obvious with their calzone that we got the last time we went there. It is for sure a good spot for a succulent meal in Midtown.

Enjoy (I did)!
