The Best Pizza Near Hog & Hominy, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Hog & Hominy
Wood-fired Pizza
A wood-burning oven is the centerpiece at this lively Brookhaven Circle pizza spot, turning out puffy, charred pies topped with combinations like pork belly and egg that sound like a dare and taste like a plan. The room is bright and handsome, with big windows and booths running from the bar to the dining room. Beyond pizza, the kitchen gets into oysters with Calabrian chili oil and poutine drowned in pork neck bone gravy. Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Rank 2. Acquaefarina
Neapolitan Pizza
Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza in the middle of the Alps is a proposition that shouldn't work as well as it does. Acquaefarina is a pizza restaurant in Trento where the dough gets the serious treatment: slow-fermented, light enough to finish without regret, with a char on the crust that earns its place. The wine and beer list goes deeper than the usual pizza-joint afterthought. It ranked 32nd on 50 Top Pizza Italy, if you want a number to trust.

A Neapolitan pizza spot on the edge of Trento, accessible by bus and with actual parking, which already puts it ahead of most. Korallo runs two dough options, a classic and a semi-wholemeal, and the menu stretches from straightforward traditional pies to more inventive stuffed versions, all leaning on local and DOP ingredients. The staff are the kind who actually help you decide. Casual, unpretentious, and listed among 50 Top Pizza Italy's Excellent Pizzerias.
