Chef Billy Durney of Hometown BBQ will join Chef Anthony Mangieri in the kitchen of Una Pizza Napoletana for a one night only collab on August 9th. Together, they will make a special pizza that will be featured alongside Una’s nightly menu. Proceeds from each pizza will be donated to Refettorio Harlem, a non-profit organization that rescues otherwise imperfect food from waste, transforming it into nourishing meals.
