“The linen-thin crust on Bar del Corso’s pizzas has the sweet, lively flavor of fermentation, and a fabulously clear minerality usually associated with sauvignon blancs and mountain springs that reputedly cure everything from diabetes to dyspepsia. The edgesaE”grandly referred to as the cornicione by serious pizza junkiesaE”are puffed high above the central crust, forming an imposing bread bulwark capable of containing pools of cheese and the oils sweated from discs of salami.” Read Hanna Raskin’s full review of Bar del Corso.Photos by Joshua Huston.Published on September 7, 2011
