The new restaurant opened Sept. 9 at 1210 Forest Ave. and is run by owner Danny Ippolito, who works behind the counter making the pies himself. There are no slices, delivery or reservations. Dinner service runs from 5 to 10 p.m. six days a week, and diners may find a line out the door during peak hours. Ippolito says he spent about six years developing the dough. Favorite Son serves 100 percent sourdough pizza made with artisan organic flours from Italy and the West Coast, and he feeds the sourdough starter twice a day. The pizzas also use Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes and specialty cheese from Caputo Brothers in Pennsylvania. Ippolito says the goal is a flavorful crust built around natural fermentation rather than commercial yeast. Favorite Son also offers natural wines, cocktails and beer, with a minimalist design inspired by Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The restaurant is open from 5 to 10 p.m. every day except Tuesday, with takeout available but dine-in customers prioritized during busy hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Favorite Son Pizza &amp; Wine is bringing naturally fermented sourdough pizza to Staten Island.
