Speedy Romeo Pizza Review – New York – Lower East Side

Dinner last night Speedy Romeo, and my friends and I could not stop talking about how good it was! I've heard good things about this pizzeria for years but didn't have a reason to visit until we went to the @dvnny1 gallery opening and needed something for second dinner. We started with the mozzarella appetizer with wood-fired butternut squash, raisins, brown butter, and toast. Then we had the St. Louie pie with pepperoni, sausage, and pickled chilis, and the Kind Brother with bechamel sauce, wild mushroom, smoked mozzarella, egg, and sage. We still weren't full, so we had the Dangerfield with bechamel sauce, pork-veal meatballs, ricotta, basil, and garlic chips. It was easily the favorite of all four of us! The wood-fired crusts are just so light and chewy, and you can't lose whether you order the tomato sauce or the bechamel (butter, flour, milk) sauce. We finished up the night with the olive oil cake with brown butter ice cream, and the chocolate cake, which is actually a GIANT S'MORE. Both were phenomenal. The drinks were strong, and the service was fantastic from everyone from the sassy hostess to the adorable waitress. Cannot recommend enough!
