Where To Eat Red-Sauce Italian Near Arthur Avenue
Thin-crust slices and vodka-sauce penne come out of a busy red-sauce pizzeria a block off Arthur Avenue in Belmont.
🍝 The Belmont table
Mezza Luna Pizza runs on East 187th Street in Belmont, the Bronx's Little Italy, a block from the pork stores and pasta shops of Arthur Avenue. Thin-crust pies come blistered and foldable, sold by the slice with shaved cheese and torn basil across a wide plain round. The kitchen also plates red-sauce standards, with penne alla vodka in a creamy tomato blush that regulars pair with a slice. Baked pastas, heros, and salads fill out the menu, and the counter keeps a steady line of neighborhood regulars through lunch. Seating is first-come.
