vezpa.

there's a late night pizza joint in Leblon that seems to be open all the time-- it's sells slices fresh from the oven, for give-or-take 5 reais. It seems to be the spot everyone hits up after an early evening party, before heading out to party, or even coming back in, in the "madrugada" (twilight hours). i went yesterday with some friends and had a slice of the vezpa (made with their homemade "pimenta" source) and quarto queijos (four cheeses). i'd have to say the latter was delicious, and reminded me of being in nyc all over again-- granted the pizza isn't as authentic, but nearly seven months away from a good slice of pie.... vezpa did the job.
