Profile

L’Asso, which means “the ace” in Italian, clearly wants to trump the local pizzeria competition. Out of this spare restaurant’s wood-fired brick oven come not only the usual suspects but pies variously topped with zucchini flowers and truffle oil, three types of onions, and five types of cheeses. A familiar array of pasta, panini, and main courses rounds out the menu.

Note

Reservations are accepted for groups of five or more.

24 points isn't bad for a new york city restaurant. Difara's in brooklyn gets shut down every year and they STILL have 2 hour waits for their slices. I haven't seen or heard of l'asso ever being shut down and i've lived in the nabe for years. I can't even figure out how to decipher these health dept reviews. They're atrocious. Keep doing what your're doing over there boys, your pizza ROCKS!!!

I could not believe when my friend told me that Lasso was given 24 violation points on their health inspection! There pizzas are good but after reading on the NYC Dept of Health website that they had violations for food not protected from potential source of contamination and violations for evidence of mice and roaches in facility's food and/or non-food areas, I am not going back no matter how good the food is! Shame on you, Lasso - you should clean up your act!
