Brigantessa (1520 E. Passyunk Ave.), the pizzeria-enoteca-birreria from the Le Virtu crew is one step closer to opening - their brand new Gianni Acunto oven was delivered today.

With one very successful pizza pop up down and rumors of buffalo milk gelato circulating, Brigantessa cannot open soon enough.
