"Located on enchanting Pearl Street, this pizzeria mixes traditional Italian elegance and charm with some American edge and swagger. Among their mouthwatering concoctions you'll find the Vesuvius, a lite tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad that will leave you refreshed, and more than ready for a glass of one of Pizzeria Locale's ostentatious wines. And, for the main course, may we suggest the Filetto pizza, complete with sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese, pungent garlic, fresh basil, and parmigiano reggiano ( we could call it plain, old, Parmesan, but that wouldn't quite describe Pizzeria Locale's take on this well-known cheese)."

"A modern take on the traditional pizzerias of Naples, Pizzeria Locale bakes beautiful pizzas adorned with quality ingredients. Dine at a table or park yourself at one of three bars: one surrounding the pizza oven, one where cocktails are mixed, or the bar outside.
