800 Degrees Restaurant Review: Ruler of Umami kingdom Adam Fleischman has now moved beyond the hamburger to conquer a new realm: pizza. And we must admit he’s doing it nicely at this flagship location of 800 Degrees, which is packed nearly every opening hour of the day and night. Walk in and design your own Neapolitan pie with high-end ingredients including fresh mozzarella on every pizza --- starting with a basic margherita, bianca or marinara. Proteins include rock shrimp, Sicilian anchovies, prosciutto di Parma sliced to order, and uncured Fra’Mani rosemary ham. Among vegetarian options are roasted garlic, caramelized onions, peppadews or organic heirloom cherry tomatoes. Add smoked provolone or truffle cheese from Italy. It’s whisked into the (yes, 800-degree) oven and cooked in about 60 seconds, resulting in a crisp, thin crust. There are specialty pies for the indecisive, or save your decision-making powers for the Italian-designed Pininfarina soda machine that allows you to create 300 varieties of soda. A burrata salad bar is also a part of the offerings, and wine is available, too.
