What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Graziella's in Brooklyn appeared on Best Thing I Ever Ate's 'Pizza' episode, where chef Ted Allen highlighted a thin-crust, wood-oven pizza topped with arugula, shredded parmigiano reggiano, and an olive oil drizzle, according to Foodiepie's episode catalog. Graziella's is an Italian restaurant and wood-burning pizzeria in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, at 232 Vanderbilt Avenue, according to the restaurant's own website.
