You know how people always talk about how Anthony Mangieri started out in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, before moving his operation to New York City? Ever wonder what became of his old space?
Well, word is the space has been taken over by one Alex Magyar, who has been serving New York-style pizza as well as Neapolitan-style pies there since May. And he sells by the slice. All Magyar's pies are made with fresh mozzarella on the crust with a swirl of sauce on top. Toppings hew toward the traditional (sausage, garlic, fennel, eggplant, and ricotta, for examle), and there's no other nonsense on the menu like cheesesteak pizza Buffalo chicken.
Apparently Magyar is the second person to open a pizzeria in the space. The guy immediately after Mangieri but before Magyar has already come and gone. We're eager to try the pizza at Gabby & Vinny's and are planning a road trip out there soon.
