Anthony Mangieri, who ran the Una Pizza Napoletana in New York until he closed up shop earlier this year, is going to reopen the restaurant in San Francisco next Spring. A notable zealot fringe leader of the recent Naples-style pizza revolution in New York, Mangieri’s obsessed with using perfect tomatoes, perfect flour and having the perfect wood-fired oven. (At Pizza Napletana in NY, Mangieri ripped out the last oven which he had custom built for the restaurant for another one custom built in Naples just two years later–at a cost of $40,000). Mangieri makes only four kinds of pizza: Margherita, marinara (no cheese), bianca (no sauce), and filetti (with fresh cherry tomatoes). There are no appetizers, no desserts, no salads, no slices, no substitutions, no delivery, no extra toppings. Each plate-sized pizza is $21. Watch him make a pie in Michael Evans’ short film Naturally Risen.

Bay Area engineer Ugo Conti has created a boat inspired by insects that might change the way certain seagoing ships will look from now on. The WAM-V, Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel, is an ultralight flexible catamaran that is designed to flex and skim over waves rather than pierce or push through them. The ship also has a modular design to allow the cabin to be swapped out quickly– it can go from a research vessel to rescue boat in less than an hour. With the ship’s light weight and very low draft, it’s a fuel sipper, with a maximum range of 5,000 miles. Take a look at Proteus in action.
