The Master Pizza Chef behind this restaurant is Renato Viola, who created one of the most expensive pizzas in the world, costing $12,000. But don’t worry. You won’t have to take out a loan to eat at Mister O1. The prices are reasonable, and the food is delectable. The 13” Neapolitan-style pies are star-shaped with a pouch of delicious ricotta in each of the 8 points of the star. Save room for the Nutella and Banana Calzone for dessert. Plenty of vegan, veggie, and GF options available.
