STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A Kardashian on Staten Island?
Kim Kardashian dined with “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson at Campania, according to a report in the New York Post. The pair, who may or may not be dating, were spotted on Tuesday night on the second-floor rooftop section of the Dongan Hills coal-fired pizzeria and restaurant.
A person from the eatery told Page Six, “Pete arranged a dinner on the rooftop privately. It was just the two of them.” The source noted that no security detail came along for the meal.

What did they eat?
Owner Joe LaRocca told the Advance, “As a matter of not only policy, but principle, Campania does not discuss or disclose any information about our guests who dine at any of our locations.”
Campania is known for its traditional and coal-cooked pizza, fresh pasta, extensive seafood, such as lobster and raw shellfish presentations, and in-house aged, premium steak cuts. The Dongan Hills Campania at 1801 Hylan Boulevard is the fourth New York City Campania noted for its more expansive menu and architectural design. Other locations are in Bay Ridge, Eltingville and Richmond Valley.
The Hylan Boulevard Campania opened in April 2021 after a two and a half year build-out. The corner structure at Buel Avenue is former home to a pet store and, prior to that, marine supply stores. The rooftop offers a panoramic view of the East Shore that includes the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
Last week, Staten Island native Davidson also made news with Kardashian as they had been photographed holding hands on a Halloween ride in California.

Davidson, 27, and Kardashian, 41, are “just friends hanging out” and the entrepreneur/mother of four is “intrigued” by Davidson, according to Page Six. Kardashian and estranged husband Kanye West AKA “Ye” are in the midst of a divorce.
This is not the first time Davidson has brought a gal pal to Staten Island. His former fiance Ariana Grande visited the borough in 2018 and, according to social media posts at the time, dined at an Italian restaurant here. Grande had posted a photo captioned “so Italian” with the couple making hand gestures in shape of finger purses AKA “mano a borsa.” Patrons in the food community at the time had pointed to Nucci’s South in Richmond Valley as the location of the date.
