"OK. Forget for a minute that Forcella is doing some solidly legit traditional pizzas. That's all well and good and totally worth your while. But just know that the place is the only pizzeria I know of in NYC that's doing a deep-fried "montagnara" pizza"
"Forcella might be catching everyone's attention with a fried pie, but what you really ought to do is try the regular pies they have on the menu because they stack up to anyone else slinging pizza in this fair city of New York."
"The menu lists a typical selection of pizzas, most quite good. Scan further, however, until you reach the ones marked "fritte," a/k/a the deep-fried varieties. Yep, you read that correctly. And this unusual celebration of caloric excess is why you need to hop the L to Brooklyn, pronto."
"The pizza in question is called montanara, and it recently debuted at a couple of New York’s buzziest new pizzerias. It just might be the most exciting development on the flatbread front since Gennaro Lombardi first lugged a pie out of his coal oven."
"The montanara pulls it off. The fryer lends a crisp airiness to the crust, not to mention a thin coat of oil that has the naughty pleasure of street food; the oven gives it color and adds a little smoke"
