Ops East Village Collab Series

Last year, Mike Fadem brought his award-winning BK sourdough pies to Manhattan for the first time, opening the second location of Ops in the East Village. Quite the friendly neighbor, Fadem invited several amazing restaurants to his kitchen for a one-of-a-kind pizza series. Now he's doing it all over again, and everyone is invited to the pizza party.   

That's right—Ops East Village Collab Series is back. Starting January 20, the East Village pizzeria will be selling speciality pies in collaboration with a stellar lineup of restaurants from around the city. Cervo's kicks it all off with a spicy prawn pie from January 20 to January 22, followed by Eel Bar, their sister concept, which will be putting salt-cured anchovies, chips, and cheese on pizzas, available from January 27 to January 29. Our number one restaurant in NYC right now, Adda, is creating two pies for the occasion: a curry, mirchi ka mass-inspired pie with short rib instead of the usual mutton and a house-ground lamb option. Sam Yoo's Golden Hof is also getting in on the fun, translating the Korean oxtail soup, seolleongtang, to the pizza with braised oxtail, scallions and fresh black pepper.
