You ve heard of a hand pie, right? Well, how about a hand salad? That s one of the amusing appetizers you ll find on the menu at Gorlami Pizza, which is now open at Avanti Food & Beverage. Gorlami (from an
Inglorious Basterds scene featuring Brad Pitt doing his worst Italian impersonation ever) doesn t call its Caesar-style creation a hand salad, but the baby romaine lettuce is sliced into finger-friendly spears topped with a tangy, cheesy dressing that are just right for a pre-pizza snack. The pies, Neapolitan-adjacent but with a crispier crust, come in seven topping combos plus a kids cheese version. Other starters include olive-oil whipped ricotta served with several topping options and sea-salt crackers; avocado and burrata toast; and a couple of meat boards.
