What does "clam pizza" mean to you? A normal old pizza, easily recognizable as pizza, with some clams scattered on top? Aw, that's cute.

The Neapolitan pizza specialist has already been challenging diners to tear gleefully into their pizza with their hands, but this would seem to take it to a new level.
Here's a video helpfully illustrating all the unusual pizzas chef Joe Cicala has to show off, most of which are not actually listed on the menu but will be available upon request, starting tonight.
