Nuzzled within the same Melbourne plaza as Times Square Diner is the new Times Square Pizza. It’s run by the same folks who create dining experiences “where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.”

“I make the dough two days before,” says Columbian-born chef Hernando Castellon. His other trick for perfect texture is to dip the dough in bread crumbs.
