Monday evening, scores of revelers gathered from far and wide at the Our Lady of the Snow Society clubhouse (410 Graham Avenue) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to celebrate Pasquetta (Easter Monday) and the Third Annual Sagra della Pizza Chiena. Partygoers mingled, danced and enjoyed a wide variety of homemade delicacies, including frittata di maccheroni, Casatiello, pastiera Napoletana and, of course, a lot of Pizza chiena (aka pizza rustica and pizza gain).
