After spending the last year perfecting New York-style pizza at home, Chef Wylie Dufresne is now selling his 12-inch, thin-crust pies every Tuesday through Thursday at Breads Bakery near Union Square. You can place your order ahead of time on Tock to pick up things like a delicate everything bagel pizza with a thin layer of cream cheese and mozzarella, a spicy romesco pie topped with grilled ramps, and a breakfast calzone stuffed with piping hot scrambled egg, creamy Muenster and American cheese, and scallions.
