It was a long time ago, certainly. But that first few minutes of everybody’s favorite disco film still resonates for one reason: the pizza. Who cares about John Travolta. The Bee Gees? Phttt! By 1980 they were has-beens. Saturday Night Fever introduced the rest of the nation to New York pizza, that frail, floppy pie that can be folded or rolled up as street food, yet somehow still retains a crispy veneer on the crust. The folks at The Oven have mastered this and turn out what is the closest thing to true New York-style pizzas in the entire county.
