If you have eaten one pizza slice from Pizzeria Vittoria, it will come as no surprise that Food & Wine Magazine recently crowned Kyle Jacovino’s pies as the best in the state.
Celebrating its two-year anniversary on July 31, the Starland Yard mainstay resurrected Savannah’s passion for Jacovino’s pizzas, born when he was firing them up at The Florence.
“It feels like one year has all been lumped into two,” Jacovino said in a recent telephone interview. “It’s insane how fast Year One went, and then that craziness of COVID has been kind of unreal.”
Now that it’s spring and the public is moving about with vaccinations and great weather, business at Pizzeria Vittoria is booming.
The lineup, which has remained stable since 2014, includes Sean Moloney on drums and keys, Blake Yokeley on guitar and Brent Collins on bass and lead vocals.
“Our new EP ‘indigo’ to me has more of a mature sound to it compared to earlier recordings,” Collins told me last week. “We definitely have found the sweet spot for our sound and writing I think. The three songs on this EP definitely encompass who we are as a band in this present moment.”
Collins said that the songs on the record have been inspired by the ocean. One track is a new version of an older song that “has matured over time.”
