Finally tried the viral DOUBLE STACKED PIZZA from @East Village Pizza and this thing is hugeeee! 🍕 The ideas is super unique and very delicious, especially with the baked ziti center! We literally had pizza for days! We went with the baked ziti option for the lower pie and was floored by how delicious this ziti is. That and pepperoni are the best combo for sure. This spot has been an institution in the area for over 30 years and you can clearly taste why! Lots of new spots open and we lose our old school pizza shops from when I was a kid. Gotta come in this summer and try this wild crazy pie! 🍕 🍕 🍝 📍145 1st Ave | East Village . . . . #nyceeeeeats #nycpizza #pizzanyc #eatingnyc #eastvillagenyc @Winta
