The community of restaurants on East Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach will welcome a new wood-fired sourdough pizza concept into the mix early next year. Opening at 522 E Atlantic Ave , Gesto will serve up “pizzas from a wood-burning oven, made with high-end ingredients,” plus wine and beer, owner Nicolas Kurban told What Now on Saturday.
Kurban said the details are still largely under wraps, but a few more can be found in recent coverage by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel :
“We’re looking at a very small menu,” Kurban told the Sun-Sentinel. “It’s pizzas with the best mozzarellas and the best meats, a few salads and desserts, plus some beautiful wines, and that’s about it.”
To put a number on it, you can expect to find a total of eight signature pies, made with a sourdough base, and cooked at a temperature between 550 and 600 degrees or about two minutes.
Opening on East Atlantic Avenue between Northeast Fifth and Sixth Avenues , Gesto replaces Kurban’s Amar Mediterranean Bistro , joining restaurants like La Boulangerie Boul’Mich , The Seed Coffee & Juice Bar , Mussel Beach , and Beg For More Izakaya .
