I was out apartment hunting in Williamsburg today and one of our appointments canceled last minute. I took this as a sign from a higher power, that I should stop in at Fornino Fornino for some pizza. Lon had heard something about being voted best pizza in NY on Citysearch.
I ordered the small Margarita DOC, a pretty plain pie (the way I like my pizza) with Buffalo Mozzarella, parmesan cheese, sauce, basil, and olive oil. All the ingredients were top notch, fresh and flavorful, and I could absolutely distinguish each flavor and each texture as playing it’s integral part in making this pizza. My one complaint is that it was a bit too wet. If you don’t hold your slice perfectly horizontal, everything slides right off. That’s not enough to hold me back from another visit though. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This $14 pie was a little pricey because I could eat two of them for dinner (I do have an enormous appetite for a 5’3″ Chinese girl) but if I end up moving to the neighborhood, I’m sure I’ll be making normal visits.
As for them being the best in NY, I’m not sure, I’d have to do a side-by-side comparison and try several different pies, but it is a contender.

All I can say about that pizza is…lovely. If you ever head to Chicago, you must try Falco’s. I make visitors eat their pizza as opposed to the tourist trap crap at Gino’s East or Pizza Uno.

We’re actually planning an eating trip to Chicago in late August. I’ll add Falco’s to the list. Thanks for the resident scoop!
