FORCELLA La Pizza di Napoli

I had Keste on my mind but then I remembered Forcella had the fried pizza... Bitch, you had me at fried, let alone pizza. So, I rolled over there after a dim sum feast earlier in the morning to, you know, get the gastric juices flowing...You can't eat 'Za on an empty pouch, everybody knows that, you silly Willy.

Ischia (citrus vinaigrette). Shrimp, avocado, arugula, heart of palm.
Shrimp on the side? Dang vegans done it again! No worries though... It's a salad. Who gives a shit. Tis was aight.

Lookie here... Sliced bread thingers. Fresh from the garbage. Pass.

Crocchetta. Potato and smoked mozzarella croquette.
From this angle, they look like a pair of deep fried bull balls but tasted like they came from a unicorn's sack. Everyone knows unicorn balls are gifts from the gods... And you don't question the gods, ever, you just eat their balls and like it. I love balls.

Parmigiana di Melanzane. Layered eggplant, tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan.
Eggplant lasagna. Fucking awesome. The end.

Ziti. Tomato sauce, parmesan.
Simple as fuck of a dish... Looks almost low rent. But let me tell ya, this shit was tasty. Amazing what a difference a dusty old dish can be when you use fresh and flavorful ingredients without a bunch of other crap in there.

Oh, lookie, another Acunto oven in NYC... whoopie. What's that make it? 897 in the city? It's as common as warts on a whore in alphabet city.

Margherita without cheese aka Marinara, with Zucchini. I didn't order this creasture. Friggin' vegans are killing me... It was kinda decent, though. Great dough/crust/sauce.


Montanara. The Original New York fried pizza Margherita.
Yeah, suckaz... Fried 'Za! Dude, the dough/crust is fried first and then finished over with the toppings in the Acunto. Sick and dericious.

Montanara Glamour Shot. No lazers in the background. Frying the dough first gives it this incredibly texture. It's not greasy at all because when they finish it off in the oven, the heat evaporates most of the moisture but the inside remains moist, kinda like a horny teenage girl. I love this unholy matrimony... Chick-fil-a can go fuck themselves in the ass if they don't like it. 

Is this the best Napoletana style 'Za in NYC? Fuck no, bro. But it is a good option if you're in the hood or in the mood for some tasty fried 'Za. They also have a fried calzone and fried tartufo pie, too. Those fuckers sound amazing as well... Next time. Oh, shit, I forgot to try their burrata, too. Put it on da list.

 2.5 Stars.
