Fuego Neapolitan Pizza & Grill

You'll find yourself on Foregate Street—the bit of Worcester that's actually got some bite to it—and Fuego's doing what it does best: firing up wood-burning ovens and turning out pizzas with actual char and leoparding on the crust. It's the kind of place where they've clearly bothered with their dough, their San Marzano tomatoes, and their buffalo mozzarella, rather than phoning it in. The grill work's equally decent, so if you're not in a pizza mood, the meat dishes pull their weight. The space has that warm, lively energy without feeling cramped or trying too hard.
