We're familiar with the stretchy, milky center of a burrata ball for our salads or charcuterie, but Hugo's in the Drake neighborhood puts it to the ultimate test by putting it on its pizza.
What it is: Prosciutto Burrata pizza ($20) with a red sauce, shredded mozzarella, prosciutto, basil leaf, sea salt and a warm burrata ball.
What I liked: What's not to like about cheese upon cheese? This takes a fun twist on a typical Neapolitan pizza by adding the burrata, which adds a creamier, gooey texture to the slices.
- It's like putting a warm, yolky egg on your toast. Yum.
Pro tip: I went during the happy hour (3-6pm, Tuesday-Saturday) and paid only $10 for the pizza.
If you go: 11am-9pm, Tuesday-Saturday
