&pizza NoMad
Offering craft pizza with a twist, & pizza serves up a variety of tasty wood-fired pies made flatbread-style. Create your own pizza by choosing your crust, sauce, and toppings, or select from one of their unique signature combinations—such as &pizza’s “American Honey” (pepperoni, hot honey, and arugula) or “The Extra Helping” (short rib, mac & cheese, and pickled red onion).

Marta
Danny Meyer’s upscale pizzeria and Italian restaurant Marta is located at The Redbury New York Hotel. It is the brainchild of Chef Lena Ciardullo, drawing from traditional Roman influences to create unique taste combinations for his thin-crust pies. Pizza offerings range from traditional Margherita to unique combinations like the Autunno (sweet potato, kale, pecorino, and fontina) or the Casino (clams casino, bacon, béchamel, provolone, and baby kale). You can also choose from a variety of salads and Italian entrees grilled over an open flame. One tip: Marta is a non-tipping restaurant, so hospitality is included in the price.

Here is something special — some of the best pizzas in NoMad in one of its most romantic spots. This is the perfect place for a date. Of course, Bread & Tulips offers a full menu of Italian dinner favorites, all of which are delicious, but their pies are brick-oven beauties. Our favorites here are: Quattro Formaggi (mozzarella, grana, fontina, gorgonzola, caramelized onions) and Hen-of-the-Woods Mushroom (taleggio cheese, red pepper flakes, arugula).
