Rome wasn’t built in a day – and neither was Pizzeria Cortile.
On Dec. 13, the pizzeria at 4400 Dayton Blvd., in north Red Bank, began to serve thin-crust, Neapolitan-style pizza baked in an imported Italian pizza oven that uses wood fire – and only wood fire.
It took about a year longer than expected to open the pizzeria pronounced “core tee lay.”
“Basically, we ran out of money,” said Justin Bennett, who co-owns Pizzeria Cortile with his wife, Amanda.
