Loring Place

Chef Dan Kluger won the 2011 James Beard Award for his masterful cooking at New York’s ABC Kitchen and was a 2014 James Beard Award Nominee for Best New Chef New York City, 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 the rectangular pan pizza known as Grandma-style has been the star of the Loring Place menu for years. This signature pizza is so beloved that in 2021 Kluger gave it its own offshoot, called Washington Squares.

Grandma 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!
