Description
Back in the 1970s and 1980s, Stromboli Pizza was one of a very few East Village eateries that were open after midnight, and it was a favorite of riotous rock musicians--like the Beastie Boys--post-gig from clubs like CBGB, Studio 8, Mudd Club, Tier 3, and Stinky's (aka The Black Hole). The sauce was slightly on the sweet side (it still is), and the crust perfect of its type. Nowadays, as twee whole-pile places like Nicoletta and dollar slice joints like Two Bros. invade the area, Stromboli remains a bastion of great neighborhood pizza of the kind that was once available on nearly every corner. --Robert Sietsema
