Scusi Pizza

The pedigree behind this Northern Liberties pizza spot is easy to overlook, and that's kind of the point. Chef Laurent Tourondel, who made his name in New York, and executive chef Georgeann Leaming are turning out serious 16-inch pies from a relaxed courtyard space at Piazza Alta. The Francese, loaded with mushrooms, prosciutto cotto, comté, gruyère, and pili pili oil, is the one to get. Stay for aperitivo hour, order the crust dippers, and don't skip the soft serve.
