That's Amore

Another pizza place has thrown its pie into the dining ring, but this one has some Italian street cred.

LDV Pizza Bar is above La Dolce Vita where chef Rocco Cosentino has been cooking authentic Italian dishes for decades. Upstairs, his son Rocco Jr. went the casual route with a pub where a wood-fired oven pumps out perfect pies that he learned to make in Italy. While pizza is the main attraction, you can skip the slice and order from homemade pasta, oven baked whole trout or rotisserie beef striploin. —Jaelyn Molyneux
