Bleecker Street Pizza’s Nonna Maria is a Tuscan thin-crust pizza with fresh mozzarella, homemade marinara sauce — made with canned whole Italian San Marzano tomatoes that will knock your socks off — Parmesan and fresh basil. Unlike regular slices that have a marinara and cheese base, this is more like a bianca with chunks of the delicious marinara sauce on top of the cheese. Bleecker Street Pizza looks like your run of the mill corner pizzeria, but the Nonna Maria is such an unexpected gourmet surprise. I love being caught off guard in this way. And the bonus is that it’s only $2.50 a slice!
