Sauce Magazine has recommended six new places to try in July, and Maplewood’s A Pizza Story (7278 Manchester Road) made the list.
The magazine says the restaurant’s co-owner Muhammad Alhawagri “spent months perfecting a dough recipe that serves as the foundation for 12-inch Neopolitan-style pies like Fantasy (burrata, prosciutto and arugula), Mystery (a pairing of meaty mushrooms and red peppers) and Space Opera (smoked salmon, capers and fresh dill atop a swath of ricotta, pictured), all baked in a wood-burning oven.”

A pizza story’s hours are 5 – 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 5 p.m. – midnight Friday and Saturday, and 5 – 9 p.m. Sunday. It’s closed Monday. Look for lunch hours soon, the sign on the door says.
