Best Instant Neighborhood Classic – Il Lazzarone
Critics’ Choice
Since Erik Borger opened the second location of his seriously Neapolitan pizzeria in the City Market, he has been waiting for the wood-fired pizza he serves KC to be endorsed by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. (Borger’s St. Joseph original already has the nod.) As we went to press, the newer of his two Lazzarones hadn’t yet made things official, but that hardly matters to fans of the pizza here.
