If you were in New York last summer and weren't hiding under a rock, you likely heard of Mel's F.O.M.O (Friends of Mel's Oven) pizza series, when chef Melissa Rodriguez, the woman behind the 85-seat restaurant in Chelsea, highlighted creations by her Michelin-starred pals, including Daniel Boulud, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Gabriel Kreuther and Junghyun Park.
The popular project is kicking off its third iteration this weekend, this time highlighting pizzas made by 2024 James Beard-nominated chefs like Telly Justice from Hags and Loring Place's Dan Kluger.
The series runs through April 19 and reservations are required. You can make one right here.
Throughout the promotion, you'll get to order the various special pizzas for lunch between Fridays and Sundays at 11:30am to 2:30pm and dinner between Wednesdays and Mondays beginning at 5:30pm. Of course, feel free to also ask about Mel's delicious wood-fired pies. The only thing better than one pizza, after all, is two.
