“It feels great to be in front of an oven making pizza again,” says Bobby Hellen, the chef and pizzaiolo behind Black Seed Pizza, which opened in New York City’s East Village earlier this month.
New Yorkers are glad to have Bobby Hellen back too. He closed down his pizza-centric restaurant GG’s, also in the East Village, in 2017, leaving a grandma pie-shaped hole in the city’s food scene.
