You might have heard...we love pizza!  We love discovering new places, but even better, we love discovering new dishes at venues that we know are going to do excellent work because we've been there before!  Owner Rino Lacerra has impressed us with his culinary splendors previously twice, earlier this year:
and in 2014:
You'll never forget their location: 33rd and 3rd!
A green salad is a must to accompany your pizza, and this time we opted for the fresh Tri Colori: Arugula, Endive and Radicchio.  The simplicity was perfect and they listened and put the dressing on the side.
The pizza calling out our name most convincingly this trip was the cheesiest!  
Your lips and your palate need to meet the Quattro Formaggi Pizza!
Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Fontina and Taleggio combine to form a quadruple thread of gooey wonder of cheesiness that this light but strong crust can support with panache.  We decided to add pepperoni, mushrooms and garlic and it was a huge, huge hit with our tastebuds.  The pizza choices are fresh and inventive at Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 and you will have a hard time deciding which to order.  Let each one have a turn!  We thought about the last one we had up to the time we started eating this one.
The sizzle of the hot ingredients meld together to form a symphony of goodness in your stomach, creating the ultimate contentment.  For everyone not so happy to go back to work tomorrow, you should be happy to return to the land of good pizza (where you spent your weekend probably does not have Manhattan-caliber pizza) so you can order out tonight and get in one last great thing this weekend!
If you are feeling more of grinder persuasion for your dinner, you cannot miss with the stellar meatball incarnation served up with tantalizing sauce and that same delicious cheese on fresh bread.  They even add basil!
Just look at that meatball smiling at you...!  It is just as good as any meatball served at a tablecloth restaurant.
Finally, here's a hint on how to get your children or perhaps even yourself to eat spinach!  The spinach roll which is spiraled inbetween layers of mozzarella absolutely hits the spot.
Why cook? 
Order!
Gourmet Brick Oven Pizza 33 is absolutely Terrific Takeout!
