"25 best pizzas around the country: Al Forno - The pie was assembled with two cheeses, mild and creamy Bel Paese plus sharp and salty Pecorino Romano; dabs of impossibly delicious tomato sauce intensely flavored with eggplant; flecks of parsley for color; and shreds of mild, bright scallions that added a feathery texture."

Steven Raichlen

"It was everything pizza should be — and less — boasting the smoky taste of Indian naan and the puffy moistness of freshly baked pita — but without the gloppy cheese or pooled pepperoni grease associated with the pies at commonplace pizza joints."

"The result is a smokiness and char that enhances the flavors of the melted cheese and tomato. The light bitterness of the scallion garnish tempers the saltiness and smokiness of the pizza. It’s a masterpiece."

Kevin Alexander

"The topper is the dotting of scallions at the very end. It elevates what would already be a fantastic pizza into something otherworldly and will make you immediately start experimenting with grilling dough at home."

Andrew Janjigian

"There, the pies are cooked on a custom-made wood-fired grill, which produces a gorgeously charred, crisp-tender oblong crust that the kitchen tops with alternating islands of bright, well-rounded tomato sauce and gooey melted cheese, a few shallow pools of rich olive oil, and zippy raw scallion curls."

Marilyn Terrell

"The unique oven-grilling gives the restaurant’s signature margherita pizza a salty, crisp, and deliciously charred crust. The pie is covered with fresh grated Pecorino Romano, Fontina and massive gobs of savory, sweet tomato sauce."

Toby Hill

"These are served as an appetizer, and are utterly delicious: thin and super-crispy, with a charred flavor that perfectly complements the sweet strained tomato sauce. Choose between Margherita, spicy and seafood varieties."

Lexi Dantzig

"You’ll want to try one of the irregularly shaped grilled pizzas that are served as appetizers (Margherita, calamari, or with hot pepper-infused oil)."

Georgia Tollin

"Using only the freshest ingredients in order to produce the most delicious final product. If any of you have had the privilege of venturing off the Hill to this cozy Italian spot, you can vouch for the fact that these pizzas are magic."
