Pizza Joint

Winner: Tutta Bella
With the modest goal of becoming “the most respected Neapolitan pizzeria in the world, ” Tutta Bella has captured the hearts of ParentMap readers for the second year in a row. The owner, Joe Fugere, earned his certification as a pizzaiolo from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, and his restaurant is one of only a handful in the United States to have earned the prestigious distinction. Tutta Bella’s “controlled chaos” vibe creates a family-style environment where kids can be kids, everyone is welcome, and the whole neighborhood gathers to rip into aromatic, fire-kissed pizza. All really is beautiful at Tutta Bella.
