Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 Since 2001 Spring 2018 by Emilio Rino Lacerra, Both Senior and Junior! Highly Recommended by @ManhattanPeachy #PeachyDeegan #WhomYouKnow
The newest Rino with the signature smashing Margherita!
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and you know that by now!
We are thrilled to now know both Rinos, senior and junior! This time we worked with the second Rino (junior) for the first time. You know your pizza is going to taste even better with a gorgeous chandelier...
Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 trumps its competition in the details across the board.
Everything is clean and organized, and their press section of the website can't be beat.
They don't have the boring standard sodas. For someone that avoids soda calories because of the obvious calorie damage she does otherwise, Peachy Deegan was just delighted and pleased as punch to see cream soda, which she feels like she literally has not had in years. Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 is classy and they give you a glass.
Not many pizza places have the gorgeous generous salads that Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 has, hence the Gourmet accurately placed in the name. Above meet Tre Colori Salad, a perfect blend of endive, radicchio and arugula. The bastion of nutrition will make you look and feel better and is naturally enhanced by a dressing of balsamic/evoo in 50/50 proportion. Vegetables are organic we are told. Caesar Salad is also a total winner and for someone that does not like croutons, Peachy did not leave behind a single one here. Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 is conscientious and puts the dressing on the side if you ask. Pecorino Romano from Italy graces this salad:
Meet your newest weakness!
But, it's actually a strength. Remember Popeye? It's Spinach!
The Spinach Roll will bowl you over with its phenomenal flavor and cheesy goodness that you will adore in every bite of fresh roll. Mozzarella and ricotta team up and hug that spinach to combine both flavor and nutrition in a winning way. The incredible freshness is extraordinary and we can't wait to eat this again.

New items include Gluten Free options if that floats your boat.
Avid readers know that Peachy and Gluten are close friends and she has no reason to ban it from her life right now.
This pizza will make your day, even you, Clint Eastwood. It is decadent, delicious and perfection. This is cocktail party kind of pizza, as in it could be served during cocktail hour at the most upscale gala in town and would be on par with the gala food. No, it's better. Meet Il Giardino: fresh mozzarella, basil, artichoke, broccoli, onions and mushrooms. This is not your neighborhood run of the mill vegetable pizza it is a million times better. Fresh mozzarella here is made fresh on premises every two days. This pizza is delicate, elegant and what you want to eat right now. The crust is crisp and strong to hold the elements of perfection resting upon it.
The resident chicken parm monster who ate it for dinner a lot of days at Boston College was fed as well, and this is one of the absolute best chicken parms in Manhattan. Period. End of story. You have to have it and it is also just as fabulous heated up. The chicken is enhanced by pecorino romano, tomato, basil and of course mozzarella perfection. It is made fresh every day that amazing chicken parm!!!
Of course the classic is the Margherita, and we absolutely reveled in the blissful simplicity of the fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes which are of course San Marzano. This pizza is so fresh and baked just right, not over or under done. It's not too doughey and the crust boasts extraordinary crispy elegance that exudes high-end flavor evidenced by the quality ingredients. It is addictive, habit forming and smile-inducing.
Pictures do not lie and they are never edited.
You either excel at pizza like Rino Sr and Rino Jr or you do not!
Don't miss the Tiramisu!
And we're just getting started! Wait until they open on First Avenue we absolutely cannot wait!
Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 is Terrific Takeout and we look forward to seeing what they do next about twenty blocks north!
Site of Peachy's next pizza conquest mapped out!
