Lángos (Laan-gohsh, $6) is a deep-fried Hungarian flatbread. Though generally known under similar names elsewhere in Europe, lángos has also acquired the waggish moniker of "Slovak pizza" and has even been likened to the Native American frybread that's the foundation for an "Indian taco." On request, yours can be heavily loaded with extras or served in the (relatively) lightweight version shown here, with sour cream and cheese. A brush with garlic, as it emerges from the fry oil, gives the lángos an essential bite; it's an option you shouldn't pass up.
