Sleek, contemporary and cooler than cool, Hot Italian offers a completely new take on the corner pizzeria. With its gray concrete floors, black-and-white-tiled walls and high black tables and backless bar stools, the space is far more stylish than comfortable. But while it feels austere and warehousey, it offers fabulous thin-crust pizzas, panini and calzones. You’ll swoon at your first bite of Bartolami pizza, piled with sausage, teeny chanterelles, smoked scamorza cheese and tangy shreds of ra-dicchio. Finish your meal with a creamy gelato or a dessert pizza topped with Gorgonzola and pears.
