Restaurant Review: Forcella

Monetenero Deep Fried Pizza

Forcella has recently been receiving a lot of buzz within the blogging community.  I’m always up for trying new pizza spots and this one stuck out as a must get to before they get their liquor license.  We arrived at 7pm on a Saturday without a reservation which was perfect timing to snag a seat at the bar with no wait.  However it became quite crowded shortly after we sat down.  The host and waiter were very warm and welcoming and both spoke Italian which I thought was a benefit.

Materdei Pizza

The appetizer menu is limited so we went straight to two pies ordering the Montenaro from the fried pizza list and the Materdei (margherita and hot salami).  Both were delivered to the table hot and delicious.  The pizzas both tasted really good and were made with fresh imported ingredients.  The Materdei was not as crispy as I would have liked but had a really nice char from the wood-oven.  The bill was $40 for two people (two pizzas and two sodas) and it seems like this will turn into even more of a scenester place than it is now once they get their liquor license.  I would gladly come back, if you are a  pizza fan this place is definitely worth a try.
