NYC hotspot only makes 15 pizzas a week — and the secret menu item is served on a $500 Versace plate

You dough-‘nt want to miss this one.
One of NYC’s best new pizzas is currently one of the hardest to snag in town — and the meticulous makers of the prized $28 pie, served up on designer dinnerware, wouldn’t have it any other way.
Only 15 of the rare, Naples-meets-NYC mashups are available, on just one night per week — Mondays — at Cucina Alba, a classy Italian eatery in Chelsea.
And despite the cost, demand for the fussed-over Neapolitan-style creation — miraculously boasting a crispy New York slice-style bottom — has been so high, guests need to get themselves to the W. 18th St. restaurant at the early opening time of 5 p.m.
Within the hour, typically, all of the dough is gone.
This past Monday, the final 12″ pie — one size pleases all, or all who get one — was ordered by a lucky table at 6:22 p.m.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
