Nino’s Bellissima,
890 2nd Ave., near 47th St
212-355-2355

Touted as the world’s most expensive pizza, this gourmet pie is made by “Nino’s Bellissima Pizzaâ€? The 12-inch pizza is topped with crème fraiche, chives, eight ounces of four different kinds of Petrossian caviar, four ounces of thinly sliced Maine lobster tail, salmon roe, and a little bit of wasabi to complement all the fish. The pizza will serve eight and costs a mere $1,000 … well that is about $125 per serving. Or you can buy a slice for $250. Either way, it requires 24-hour advance notice and for some odd reason, it doesn’t appear on the menu. For us real people Bellissima also chars some the best pizza in town at normal prices in a Italinate room with mosaic columns, colorful murals, on two levels, with a window that peeks into the more formal Nino’s Positano.

Recommended pizzas include Quattro Fromaggi or 4 for different cheeses and cute number with little lamb meatballs. For something unusual, try a pizza sandwich called Le Piadina. Good appetizers and desserts too, as well as a similar menu and wine list to Nino’s Positano. Click Here To Return to Punch In Home Page
