••• “Stefano Callegari—the Italian chef credited for inventing the wildly popular ‘pizza sandwich’ known as the trapizzino — will open his first NYC pizzeria in Soho this September. La Rossa will serve Roman-style pizza al taglio as well as round pizzas and other Roman dishes. Located at 267 Lafayette St., near Prince Street, the 32-seat pizzeria will be an homage to the Roman foods Callegari has built his reputation on. His cacio e pepe pizza will be on the menu, along with the ‘testa rossa’ pizza made with Campari-marinated mozzarella.” The signage has been up for  couple months, but new pizza is always worth mentioning. —Eater
