Cuban-style
Pizza
and
Speghetti
-
Little
Cuba
in
New
Jersey
I
was
curious
on
why
there
was
no
official
Little
Cuba
in
NYC.
After
my
trip
to
Miami
2
weekends
ago,
I
was
looking
for
fresh
Cuban
food
and,
to
my
surprise,
I
found
out
that
right
across
the
water
in
Bergen,
NJ,
there
was
a
massive
Cuban
community.
For
2
miles
on
Bergenline
Street,
starting
from
Jose
Marti
Field
all
the
way
up
to
Racetrack
Section,
lies
dozens
upon
dozens
of
Cuban
eateries
and
bakeries
Just
like
every
country
has
their
own
style
of
Pizza,
La
Burana
specializes
in
Cuban
style
Pizza
and
Speghetti.
The
pizza
was
distinct
enough
to
stand
out
as
it’s
own
genre.
What
makes
the
pizza
here
different
than
American
style
is
that
the
toppings
are
mixed
into
the
pizza
while
cooking
instead
of
just
being
sprayed
on
top
There
are
only
2
specialized
Cuban
Pizza
spots,
with
this
one
being
the
newer
and
smaller
in
the
neighborhood
The
owners
are
recent
immigrants
from
Havana
and
their
honor
of
authenticity
was
enough
to
make
me
order
a
king’s
worth
of
food
This
place
was
probably
the
most
affordable
place
I’ve
been
to:
$6
for
entire
customized
pan
pizzes,
$5
for
a
massive
plate
of
speghetti,
and
$1
fresh
scoops
of
ice
cream.
My
total
bill
came
iut
to
$20
and
that
was
enough
to
feed
me
for
3-4
full
meals
