Scarr Pimentel, who learned pizza at Lombardi's, founds Scarr's Pizza
Scarr Pimentel, a New York native who picked up pizza-making at Lombardi's, opened Scarr's in 2016 across Orchard Street from the current address, at number 22. The shop mills some of its wheat in the basement each day for a fermented crust. Serious Eats, the New York Times, Gothamist and The New Yorker are among the outlets that later ranked it with the city's best slices.
