Impasto Pizza Is Slinging Superb Square Slices In Clinton Hill View all 9
Will it be third time s a charm here in Clinton Hill? For most of the past decade, this tiny Brooklyn slice joint on Waverly Avenue was home to the utilitarian, mostly unloved Mario s Pizza. The crew from nearby Aita, a popular rustic Italian restaurant, took over in 2017, serving both Calabrese-style and classic NYC round pies, but a terrible fire all but destroyed the place two years later (thankfully, no one was hurt).
Then, last summer, team Aita decided to try again, this time with Roman-ish square slices and pies, and the shop was reborn as Impasto Pizza al Taglio. After a slow start filled with familiar Covid-era compromises truncated hours, abbreviated menu today Impasto is really hitting its stride and seems poised to become one of the city s great neighborhood slice shops.
