Faro's Panuzzo

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Aug. 17, 2024

What happens when a sandwich meets pizza? The answer is the pocket-shaped panuzzo: an Italian street-food specialty and the answer to our lunchtime cravings! At Faro in Northport, these baked-to-order baddies comprise a cold-fermented sourdough crust—a 72-hour labor of love—cooked to wood fire-blistered perfection and stuffed with scratch sauces and local ingredients. Varieties rotate seasonally and range from the Mortadella (pictured), layered with whipped burrata, pesto, arugula, and toasted pistachio; to mozzarella and heirloom tomato; to the staff-favorite Speck, complete with creamy mozzarella and a balsamic-marinated pepper relish. All you have to do is pick your flavor and eat fast enough to go back for seconds. (Hurry, though—they sell out in a jiff!). Pick your panuzzo ($16 ea.) at Faro in Northport at 107 E. Nagonaba St. (231) 386-1048.
