All-Purpose Pizzeria

From the same team behind Red Hen comes this casual, always-packed Italian joint in Shaw. The kitchen is helmed by Mike Friedman, a Jersey boy who strives to serve the kind of pizza that he ate as a kid. The dough is slightly sweet and cooked in a deck oven, resulting in a bite so crisp it makes a noise when you chomp into it. In addition to classic dishes like eggplant parm and garlic knots, All Purpose serves almost ten different types of pies, including the buona made with tomatoes, pepperoni, mozzarella, chili hone, basil and grana.
