Clark Kent slice
at Scarr's Pizza · Lower East Side
What it is
Plain cheese over the fresh-milled crust — the one that shows off the flour.
Why it’s worth ordering here
The Hotboi (spicy pepperoni) or the Clark Kent.
Scarr Pimentel — 2024 James Beard nominee — opened this Chinatown/LES border spot in 2016. They mill the wheat for the fermented crust in the basement daily. Three-mozzarella blend, fresh-made sauce, warm orange-lit room.
Heather tip
Small space; order at the counter. If it's packed, grab a stool on the bench across.
