Slow Jam

At BAR SLOWJAM, you can settle in at the bar with a drink and share a piping-hot pizza. The pizza menu ranges from classic Margherita to combinations made for pairing with drinks, including mackerel, corn and mustard, anchovy and garlic, and four cheeses. A pizza topped with prosciutto and herbs, paired with wine or beer, makes for an easy-going evening meal.

There are substantial options beyond pizza, too, for a filling meal even later in the evening. Warm small plates include sautéed pork jowl with assorted vegetables, eggplant baked with house-made meat sauce and cheese, and shrimp and mushrooms simmered in garlic oil. They make handy dishes to share with a baguette. Pasta choices include house-made meat sauce, vegetable peperoncino and tomato sauce with eggplant and salted pork, giving the bar appeal as a first stop for the evening, too.

The interior has a casual, relaxed feel, and reviewers describe it as an easy place to drop in alone. Settle in for conversation over cocktails or spirits, or order something from the menu that catches your eye and take the evening at your own pace.
