Poco Fiasco

Pizza and beer had a good run as a classic marriage of flavors. Now it’s time for pizza and martinis to have some time in the spotlight with the opening of Poco Fiasco, the 11th concept from Harwood Hospitality Group. The pies here fall into the fold-and-eat category with slices so large and full of toppings that it’s really about the only option other than knife and fork (and that’s no fun). The menu comes from corporate chef Taylor Kearney and on-the-scene executive chef JP Mancha. Signature pizzas include The Donkey (diablo sauce, three kinds of cheese, roasted garlic, and oregano), the Fig & Favor (shaved roast lamb, cucumber sauces, parm, dill, feta, and fig jam), and The Texan (brisket, housemade barbecue, pickled red onion, and cheddar). Charred eggplant dip, pasta dishes, sandwiches, and salads can add to the Mediterranean smorgasbord. Of course, it wouldn’t be a pizza-and-martini concept without boozy concoctions, including The Joe (a French Press “espresso” martini), The James (a classic Vesper), and The Sterling (a spot-on Manhattan).
