In the case of Plate Italiano Moderno, that evolution was hastened by a disastrous fire at the restaurant’s first locati...

I am a sucker for a good slice of pizza, so anytime a pizza place opens in Baton Rouge, I get excited. New York Pizza & Pasta—a newer addition to the Jones Creek Road area—offers classic Italian flavors in a fast-casual, counter-ordering atmosphere.
