In Videos: 'Pure and Simple,' a Day in the Life of Una Pizza Napoletana
I have eaten at Una Pizza three times and each has been fantastic. Great pies, great music and a focused crew. Anthony is always there at the dough table making each pie himself. When the dough runs out the day is done.

And for full disclosure, UPN doesn't even come close to being in my top 5 pizzeria in the country, probably not even the city. That being said I can't stand someone being dismissive because they don't UNDERSTAND Neapolitan pizza. The pizzas were "too much alike", "too much basil", come on. And, really, if you think Anthony Mangieri is going to really care that you might write about him on your blog....come on. He's been written up (good and bad) in just about every major publication in NY. I think he's gonna be fine.

Thanks for the link Prarie. It must be my Roberta's wine and orangecello hangover. It's interesting that with all the things mentioned in that review, not word one about UPN's crust, which is what makes it so special to me. And thanks very much for including me in that group of true pizza heavyweights. That is very flattering.
Ciao,

What makes you a pizza "expert", anyway?
Adam has never claimed to be a pizza expert. Paulie Gee has never claimed it. Chris Bianco? Nope. Me? Nope. Mangieri? Nope. DJ Bubbles? Negative. Tom Lehmann? Nah. Ed Levine? That's a no. Jeff Varasano? No.
Who says you are a pizza expert?

@PaulieGee- Don't worry, it's just a bunch of whiny rambling like everything else on that site.

@pizzaexpert Got link? I can't find the review. As far as there being far better places in Manhattan, that's a strong statement. To me you are comparing apples to bowling balls. There may be places with better atmosphere or more creatively topped pies, but when it comes to pure and simple Napoletana pizza, I've yet to find better. Perhaps you need to make a pilgrimage.

Now I know you are all going to say I am nuts, but one of our experts went to this place and reviewed it and disliked it! Before you all go off the deep end please find the review and you will see why. My favorite place in Florida happens to think Una Pizza is one of the best, so I have to take his word for it, but as far as the expert I sent to try this place is concerned, there are far better in Manhattan!

Can't wait to get there and give it a try, looks impressive. Pizza as it was meant to be, not a lot of crap.

he deserves this. someone who really goes out of his way and believes in something, needs recognition. right or wrong. in this case, he's obviously right. thank God someone is doing something with heart. i actually always wanted anthony to make bread too. i would pay alot for it. but i am sure he's too busy unfortunately.
