Feral Pizza

The dough at Feral Pizza ferments for nearly two days, and we can only imagine it spends that time pondering the true meaning of life, love, and what it means to be a crust. The end result is crispy, chewy, and perfectly suited to pair with whatever toppings you choose, including our favorite—the ultra-simple Tomato Pie with just sauce, garlic oil, basil, and pecorino. It’s a New York-style pizza, with an ultra-thin layer of sauce that provides some sweet, tangy flavor without overpowering the crust. This whole operation is done in a tiny trailer behind a convenience store in Hyde Park—as a result, pies can take a while. Call ahead or make yourself cozy with a few drinks from the shop next door. If dough can hang out that long, you can wait 30 minutes without going feral.
