A lot of chefs leave New York in pursuit of a different kind of life or more reasonable business prospects; few return. But Anthony Mangieri — and his crowd-drawing Una Pizza Napoletana— is coming back to New York City next year thanks to a new partnership with the chefs behind the Lower East Side’s Contra and Wildair, Jeremiah Stone and Fabian Von Hauske Valtierra.
The news, which Eater NY first reported based on city filings, was confirmed by Mangieri, Stone, and Von Hauske Valtierra. “It’s going to be the same kind of stuff I’ve been working on my whole career combined with the stuff these guys do,” Mangieri says of his plans for the new place, and the partnership. “I’ve been following [them] for years. I wouldn’t be doing this with anyone else.”
