Ah, Staten Island. For many New Yorkers, it's the forgotten borough, the red-headed stepchild of New York City. 

To be quite honest, if it wasn't for the construction of that absolutely enormous Ferris wheel and food market coming soon to S.I., we wouldn't talk much about the island, if any at all. 

Well, that's all about to change-- for about the next five minutes, that is. 

You see, Marie’s Gourmet is a well-known Staten Island restaurant in Sunnyside that specializes in hearty, healthy American-Italian fare.

And this incredible breakfast pizza, made with bacon, eggs, fresh mozzarella, and peppers, is the absolute highlight of their eclectic menu.  

Now check out this video from Amanda Steen of the Staten Island Advance and watch how all of this deliciousness comes together perfectly. Just be sure to ignore the video's horrific soundtrack, will ya?

It almost makes you want to take that free ferry ride to the Island, doesn't it? (Relax, we said almost...)
