Chicken Parm all Vodka Pizza Slice at Sparrow Italia

I’m well aware that vodka sauces are about as common at Italian restaurants these days as Frank Sinatra on the stereo. It’s cream. It’s vodka. What’s not to love? But this chicken parm slice – available only at Sparrow’s bar – would be like Frank himself coming back from the dead to croon a few songs in the dining room. The “slices” are more like little square pies, topped with a rich, spicy tomato sauce and crispy pieces of fried chicken. It takes two of the most addictive things on an Italian menu - pizza and chicken parm – puts them together, and dares you not to eat the whole thing. At $15, it’s a perfect bar bite to enjoy with a glass of wine. Just don’t plan on sharing it – you’ll demolish one slice so fast you’ll end up ordering a second. — MM
