ANTICO PIZZA / GIO’S CHICKEN AMALFITANO / GIO’S SICILIAN

Menu: Full menu available for all three. What’s new: Antico Casa prepackaged, parbaked 14-inch Margherita pizzas, available for shipping throughout the U.S. All stores also have been turned into pop-up markets, selling specialty Italian food products, including olive oil, pasta, canned tomatoes, flour, semolina and Calabrian chilis. Alcohol: Various Italian wines ($25) and Peroni beer (sold by the bottle or case).

What I ordered: Gio’s Sicilian spicy pepperoni, Antico Casa parbaked Margherita pizza and a bottle of 2018 Cantine Coloi Nero D’Avola. The pie features a thick, focaccia-type dough with a fabulous chew. The tomato sauce gets a touch of sweetness from orange blossom honey. Expect some tingling heat from a generous topping of pepperoni. It’s a rectangular pie, whose eight slices will feed four people. The sturdy Nero held up to the boldflavored pizza. Following the directions on the prepackaged Neapolitan Antico Casa pizza, the pie turned out almost as good as a restaurant version. The ratio of toppings to crust was spot-on, and the slice held its shape when folded and eaten. Order multiple pizzas and stow them in the freezer. Service options:
