With a hexagon tiled floor and white Tuscan marble-topped bars & tables, Locale's faithful Napoletana style pies are cooked by a pizza chef sent to Naples to study for 3.5 months under a master pizzaiolo, in a custom imported oven made in The Boot by a 5th generation builder, and from ingredients sourced directly from Italy, many of which're stuck in a humidity/temp-adjusted box to "trick the dough into thinking it's in Naples", which would actually be better accomplished by snatching it out of a dead man's wallet in an alley. Highlights from the 13-style menu include the Mais, with sweet corn, crème fraiche, mozzarella di bufala, and prosciutto cotto ("like roasted ham"), and the Maiale, layered with bufala, Parmigiano-Reggiano, prosciutto crudo (cured, not raw), and piennolo tomatoes, which're aged for a year in a cave after being plucked from the side of Mt. Vesuvius, meaning there's extremely little chance that they'll blow. Non pie-age comes via salads like the Southern Italian, arugula Pompeii with vine ripe tomatoes and brined/roasted/cooled pork loin, and a Frutti de Mare w/ octopus/ clams/ PEI mussels/ shrimp/ calamari/ artichokes, as well as wondrously fattening pesto'd veal meatballs called "Polpettine" -- refuse to order it, and it is you who will be mistaken, about a great, many things.
