While pasta occupies much of the menu at Savelli’s, locals in the know come for the hand-tossed pizzas, which are the melt-in-your-mouth thin crust hard to find outside of New York City. Family owned and proud of it, Savelli’s is popular practically any hour of the day or night, Savelli’s can be especially crowded on weekends and game nights, so make reservations. Because they don't have a liquor license, the staff of Savelli’s welcomes guests to bring their own wine, with no corkage fee, making it one of the cheapest meals in town.
