Delancey is definitely not in Crown Hill, but it is such a gem of a pizzeria, and so close by, you’ll just have to make your way down there and feast. Delancey is located in that wonderful little business district located on 70th St around 14th Ave NW. They are neighbors of the Honore Artisan Bakery at 1413 70th, but don’t plan on popping over to Honore for dessert after feasting at Delancey because Honore closes at 4. Clearly worth a separate trip.
Delancey was started up by Brandon Pettit and Molly Wizenberg. Perhaps you’re already acquainted with Molly from her Orangette (http://orangette.blogspot.com) blog, one of the most well written blogs about real food in the whole world.
Delancey’s pizzas are all baked in a wood-fired pizza oven, so if you haven’t yet been treated to a hearth baked pizza, this is your chance. We had the Crimini pizza, and the Prosciutto. Both were mouth wateringly good. Each was about twelve inches in diameter, about right for one person, and reasonably priced at $12 and $15 respectively. Each had a handcrafted feel, slightly non-circular shape, super thin crust, and just the right amount of toppings to balance the rustic crust. We finished the meal with a monstrous chocolate chip cookie with grey salt (recipe here on Molly’s blog) and a luscious Budino elegantly served in a wide mouth jam jar.
