Washington Squares

Chef Dan Kluger won the 2011 James Beard Award for his masterful cooking at New York’s ABC Kitchen, and his Loring Place has been one of Greenwich Village’s most acclaimed restaurants since it opened in 2016. Kluger has become renowned for his creative, market-driven, vegetable-forward dishes, and at the casual Washington Squares, he’s turned his attention to a food that’s near and dear to his heart: pizza! Specifically, the rectangular pan pizza known as Grandma-style, which has been the star of the Loring Place menu for years.

Grandma-style pizza is slightly thinner than the similar Sicilian-style, and it’s baked in an oiled pan for a crust that’s crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and sturdy enough to hold up to abundant toppings. There’s also a fair amount of whole wheat in the dough, which adds a nutty flavor. From Mushroom Pizza topped with ricotta, mozzarella, fontina, a mix of mushrooms and spicy chili crisp to Meat Lover’s Pizza topped with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, soppressata, and house made sausage to one that’s completely vegan, this pizza truly has the mark of a fine-dining chef, and it’s shipping straight to your door!
