At Il Lazzarone in the River Market, the best time for pizza is midnight
When Il Lazzarone brought Neapolitan pizza to the River Market last month, I didn’t know it would bring out the night owls, too.
But it doesn’t close until 1:30 a.m. And Monday to Saturday, come midnight, all of the pizzas are $10. Except for the $16 D.O.C., a Margherita pizza with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh basil and sea salt. Yum.
The restaurant is bright and lofty, with brick walls and a window front that peeks right onto Delaware Street. It’s a welcoming space, despite the streetcar construction on Delaware. And there’s a bar tucked way in the back.
