A little more than two years ago, Adam and I went to the opening of Fornino in Williamsburg. On Monday, we went to the opening of Cronkite Pizzeria & Wine Bar in the Lower East Side. Cronkite is the latest pizza venture by Fornino's owner, Michael Ayoub. At Cronkite's opening, Adam and I had a Margherita Classica and a Pugliese (mozzarella, sausage, broccoli rabe). We didn't end up getting any wine and the restaurant is still so new (you can still smell the paint). I'm sure that given time, Cronkite will be just as good as Fornino. Right now, they're still experimenting with the dough formula as the two have different oven types.
