Mel’s is a pizza restaurant run by Michelin-decorated Chef Melissa Rodriguez. The centerpiece of the menu is a wood-oven pizza, designed to be a cross between a Neapolitan pie and a New York slice; with a chewy, bready crust and enough structural integrity to be eaten slice in hand. The restaurant has no gas cooktops; everything is cooked over an open fire. Mel's boasts access to the deep wine cellar at Al Coro next door, so you can drink Barolo with your margherita–the most elegant combination in all of Italian cooking.

I recently had brunch at Mel’s with my husband and a friend, and it was pretty much a perfect dining experience. I mean perfect. The service was truly exceptional from the moment we entered the place. The ambiance is modern and charming. The drinks are amazing—well balanced and not too sweet. The pizzas are very unique and insanely delicious. Who thought it would be a great idea to put corn on a pizza with cacio e pepe? That person is a genius. It was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I’m not sure how this place wasn’t completely packed, but if you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and dine here. You’re welcome!

No disappointment’s here. Food was outstanding, service was excellent. Even the piped in music was great (not just good music, but a high-fidelity quality sound). Our evening there was a pure delight.

The experience and service at Mel’s was wonderful. Our server, Anye, was very personable and thoughtful. She welcomed us warmly gave us great recommendations on what to eat and went above and beyond by giving us a list of things and places to visit locally in Chelsea. The food was great especially the chicken verde sandwich. All 3 pizzas were delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Great pizza and good atmosphere, great date night location that’s low lit and just quiet enough for an intimate conversation but loud enough buzz to not be overheard

Love this place! Great date spot and great ambiance. Food was amazing- I had the FOMO🥰-Live it! Hubby had the Margarita Pizza with Pepperoni. Brussel sprouts were very tasty and the golden beet salad with hazelnuts was very good. My waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable! Will definitely be back.

Food was very good. We wait just a bit for the table and the service was a bit slow. Overall I expected a more variety of pizza. Being an Italian just and advice : on the Margherita they should put much more mozzarella ;)

The atmosphere is charming, the attention to detail is fantastic and the food is exceptional. We didn’t have any problem finding something that everyone enjoyed. The salads are wonderful and flavorful by themselves. The pizza is the exclamation point!
