Salvatore Carlino was raised on pizza, so it’s no surprise there’s already buzz around the chef’s first restaurant. His family operated Manhattan Beach’s Papa Leone’s, which closed in 2017, and founded corner slice shop Smiling Pizza in Park Slope. Carlino opened the doors on his own pizza parlor in Sheepshead Bay in January with margherita, white, and plain pies. Be sure to try the vodka pizza, which uses the same recipe from Papa Leone’s, dating back to 1974.
