The daily experience: lunch pizzas, breakfast pastries, and refined service
We craft a daylong menu that moves with you—coffee and pastries before meetings, Neapolitan pizzas at lunch.
The Counter at Dean’s opens early with illy coffee and warm cornetti, crisp pizzelles, and playful cannoli muffins. These small bites make a quick morning feel like a proper start.
Neapolitan-style pies from a custom Marra Forni oven at midday

We keep flavors bright—good tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil so the ingredients sing without heavy sauces.
