Pizza and a Sunset
Sunset Pizza and Spirits has reopened at Cedar Point County Park in East Hampton. True to its name, the spot offers wood-oven pizzas and a bar with a west-facing view over Northwest Harbor and Gardiner’s Bay and seating inside and out. For now, it will be open Thursday through Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 4 until sunset. It shares space with the park’s camp store.
Crazy Pizza Is Here
Crazy Pizza, where guests can expect thin-crust pizzas hand-tossed by their signature spinning chefs, has opened its 20th location at 47 Montauk Highway in East Hampton. (Among the other 19 spots are ones in London, Milan, Monte Carlo, Saint-Tropez, and Belgrade.)
The vast menu includes a variety of starters and salads, four pasta dishes, chicken Milanese and chicken Parmigiana, and two dozen pizzas. Among those are sottobosco, which includes tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, sausage, mushrooms, arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano, and chile; Catalana, comprising buffalo mozzarella, prawns, basil, Datterino tomatoes, red onions, and garlic, and, for a splurge, tartufo, which has the ubiquitous buffalo mozzarella, truffle paste with truffle, and fresh black truffle shavings. Crazy Pizza is in the space most recently occupied by Kizzy T’s.
French Bistro in Southampton
La Goulue Sur Mer, the East End outpost of La Goulue New York and La Goulue Palm Beach, has opened at 210 Hampton Road in Southampton, the former home of Red Bar, among others.
Named for the Moulin Rouge can-can dancer, the restaurant says it is bringing the spirit of a timeless Parisian brasserie to the village. Based on a perusal of the Manhattan menu, diners can expect such starters as sautéed frog legs with garlic, tomato, and shallot butter, and ahi tuna tartare with wasabi miso seasoning and fresh coriander.
Among the main courses are branzino a la plancha with crushed potatoes, tomato, capers, and olive relish; steamed mussels with white wine, chorizo, tomatoes, pimenton de la vera, and fries, and an Angus ribeye steak with mâche and fries.
Mavericks Provisions
Mavericks Montauk has launched Mavericks Provisions, a new takeout selection offering ingredients needed to make the restaurant’s signature dishes at home.
The highlights are whole homemade cheesecakes, dry aged prime filet, bone-in côte de boeuf, New York strip, homemade Parker House rolls, and house-blend prime ground beef patties.
Orders can be placed on the website and will be available for pickup the following day between 10 and 4, seven days a week.
Lucky’s Lands in East Hampton
While Lucky’s Steakhouse, newly arrived in East Hampton, only has four locations, not 20 like Crazy Pizza, the other three are in Montecito, Malibu, and SoHo. The new outpost has taken over the former home of Cove Hollow Tavern at 85 Montauk Highway.
The offerings include seafood appetizers, warm appetizers, and salads, but, as you might expect, it’s the steaks and chops, all aged U.S.D.A. prime, that are the meat of the menu. There are two filets mignons, a New York strip, a sliced Porterhouse, a bone-in rib chop, and double-cut lamp chops. Eight sauces or butters are available as accompaniments.
Fish, chicken, burgers (both meat and vegetable), risotto, surf and turf, a few special steaks, and sides are also available. The complete menu is on the restaurant’s website.
