Lil’ Frankie’s

Frank Prisinzano's East Village pizzeria runs a wood-fired oven built into the old storefront, turning out Neapolitan pies alongside handmade gnocchi and a whole roasted chicken with lemon and capers. It's cash only, tables sit close together, and the room stays loud and full most nights — reviewers rank it above Prisinzano's other spots, Frank and Supper, for that same energy. The kitchen runs past midnight on weekends, closing at 4am Friday and Saturday.
