Watch LUCY BAR Make an Authentic Deep-Fried Pizza From Naples

Seth Tillman heads to Lucy Bar, a bar and restaurant on 14th Street in Washington, DC to watch Chef Giulio prepare his signature montanara — a traditional Neapolitan fried pizza that dates back centuries, long before home ovens existed. Giulio demonstrates how simple dough, careful frying, and classic Italian toppings — San Marzano tomatoes, Pecorino, anchovies, stracciatella, and just a hint of truffle — transform into a light, airy, and deeply nostalgic dish which pairs perfectly with a cocktail.

This video is part of WETA's SIGNATURE DISH series, which highlights standout dishes from top restaurants across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Host Seth Tillman explores the incredibly diverse array of cuisines that the DMV offers, chatting with chefs, restauranters and others to explore the people and cultures behind DC’s best food.
