Cauliflower "merguez" pizza w/ spicy Harissa, sweet pepper, fennel, pomodoro & mozzarella is da bomb!
If you don't mind the attitudinal service, come to LES' lil' Frankie's for their affordable thin-crust pies & $15.95 entree+2 drinks.
A reliable neighborhood find that serves up an above-average pie (my fave- their Grandma slice!). Eat there fresh out of the oven instead of having it delivered.
Not best but one of the better NYC pizza joints in Midtown E area. Focaccia Grandma was decent & BBQ Chicken (lotsa ckn & a bit saucier than I like) had same great taste of ones I miss from Cali.
My faves here are the buffalo chicken & upside-down Grandma pizza slices.;9
Probably best place to go nr Woodbury Commons where options are limited. Surprisingly tasty margherita pizza w/ pepperoni & portobello mushrooms. Fusilli w/ sausage, red peppers & herbed ricotta- meh!
Reliably good late-night Grandma and pepperoni & mushroom slices..even when you're sober. Lol
Totally underrated coal oven thin-crust pepperoni & mushroom pies in an old school 1957 NYC pizza joint. Get here early (before 4:30pm) on Fri & Sat's to avoid a wait & enjoy the live jazz.
Great pepperoni & mushroom slice w/ good sauce & a hint of garlicky crust
$2 Tuesdays (5/14/13): 2 slices of margherita pizza for $2. Dunno if this is every Tue but it was a sweet deal!
Absolutely loved Covina! The service was fantastic, the ambience was cool, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend the honey pizza and the donuts for dessert.
The sugo is no joke here. Solid Italian addition with an Asian twist. The fried flat bread is a must have.
Amongst my fave pie joints in NYC! A perfectly thinner crust than most - Margherita w/ red onion & soppresata had tasty, sweet sauce & held up perfectly! Pizzas taste great on own w/o chili oil.
Got in line on Sun @ 5:45: less than a 10-min wait for our delish pepperoni & 'shroom pizza. ;9
Cash only & no slices! Prepare for possible long waits: outside line & inside wait for your pie!
Tiny Neopolitan pizza sis (w/ lil' seating) of better San Matteo (90th St / 2nd Ave). Same great pizza, less menu options. Called 2 workers here who didn't know addy - how do U get to work daily?!!
Best Neapolitan pizza in the UES - my fave is the Diavola (w/ spicy Spressata)! Their red sauce, eggplant (Parmigiana Di Melanze), & Rigatoni Alla Bolognese are my other craves!
Here you'll find an excellent butcher, in Peter's, the best Italian combo in the Bronx, at Greco's (nee Mike's), and the neighborhood's best slice shop, Café el Mercato.
Indian Tikka Masala pizza w/ homemade curry & homemade paneer cheese & fresh cilantro! #doac
The ambience is great there! It gives u a very comforting and relaxing feeling. Especially love the open kitchen! The thin crust pizza is amazing! I had the testa and it tastes great!:) will come back
Perfect thin crisp crust on pizza. Margherita (was fine, nothing special), Capricciosa (excellent!), Salsicca (My fav), Carbonara (a must try!). The rabbit meatballs were moist and tasty. I'll be back
B Side Pizza offers a unique twist to NY Pizza, as well as having a number of Vegan menu options for individuals who don't eat pizza. The Vegan Zucchini Salad is great, Vegan or not!
The Killer Bee was the best pizza I had all week! Excellent service and fantastic food. Can't wait to go back for another round!
A plain slice here runs $3, and is exactly what a slice of pizza should be—cheesy, crusty, and doused with a not-too-sweet, not-too-oniony tomato sauce. Read more.
Some of the best pizza in the city, legitimately. Try the upside down (sorta like a mix between grandma and Chicago style), the white, or the suprema special.
Listen to 4sq! Didn't trust the rating, went with it. Didn't trust the upside down slice, got it, bc 4sq said. One of the best slices I've had in the city.
Domenico De Marco opened Di Fara in 1964, and today, the famed pizzaiolo still makes his own tomato sauce and grows his own basil. The line can sometimes reach two hours: but the wait is worth it.
On Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Sunny Anderson reveals her favorite Italian dish, Pizza with Mushrooms and Garlic, from Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn, NY. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more.
The square pie is the best pizza I've had in my life. The circle pie is as good as any pie in New York.
Get a reliable classic NYC pizza slice here: plain cheese, fresh mozz, pepperoni+mushroom or Sicilian. Open 'til ~4:30am & just as good as Joe Pozzuoli's original 42 yr-old W Village spot.
Joe Pozzuoli's original 42 yr-old W Village spot. Open 'til ~4am. Get a reliable classic NYC pizza slice here: plain cheese, fresh mozz, pepperoni+mushroom or Sicilian.
Why travel to Brooklyn for The Bee Sting (only @ brunch) when I can get my fave sweet, savory & spicy pizza every day 'til 9pm @ this midtown location near Grand Central (in Urbanspace Vanderbilt)?!
Expect a condensed menu that's pizza-focused. 1 small is a personal-sized pizza. If you're here w/ a gf, share 2 of them: my fave -Bee Sting -and an Axl Rosenberg or Speckenwolf.
I love their (brunch & off menu) pizza: the Bee Sting -which is a nice combo of savory-sweet & spicy!. 🐝🍕
Tomato salad was incredibly fresh & had a variety of organic cherry tomatoes, wedged whole tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, sprigs of dill, basil, & sprinkled sesame..1 of best salads I've ever had!
Neapolitan-style pies w/ puffy crusts + blistery bubbles, San Marzano tomato sauce & fresh mozz. My fave is the spicy Diavola! For celiacs: tastiest gluten-free options & pizza in NYC!
FREE scoop of Italian ice w/ Yelp check-in! Loved the orange vanilla swirl (like an orange creamsicle) but wished they put it in 2 cups instead of 1 thin one which got pretty messy when melted.
2 FREE garlic knots w/ 4SQ check-in! (Combined w/ FREE scoop of Italian ice w/ YELP check-in). Thanks Previti! :)
Juliana's owner Patsy Grimaldi is back in his original spot under a new name after having sold his original pizzeria years back. Tourists don't know that, so eat great pizza here without the wait.
This is the original Grimaldi's which I've been going to for ~25 years (amazing pizza!). The name was sold to the new "Grimaldi's" on the corner.
A haven for Fordham students - fit in with the crowd and order a Ritchie Special (slice, chicken roll, and soda) and replace the soda with a pitcher of beer.
Ok spin-off of its E Harlem OG. Except 4 overly-sweet sauce, pizza was ok not great. Rigatoni con La Salsicce tasted ok but sausage nds more frying. Pass on Fried Zucchini&Eggplant + Spinach Ravioli.
Amazing pizza! Probably the best pizza you can find in the UES! This is not a normal slice joint (no disrespect to classic slice places). PQR has a unique Roman style - def try the burrata slice!
Ordered breakfast ~1yr ago...the worst & never again! M's hot coffee & my iced coffee were burnt! My egg & cheese on toasted bialy was funky-tasting & not fresh.
Getting a large w/ 1/2 original tomato pie & 1/2 pepperoni & mushroom is the way to go!
Here’s (1925-‘36) where FP created New Haven-style pizza. Original oven still here tdy. Re-opened w/ skylites as "The Spot" (w/ FP’s same menu) in ‘81, after FP’s family bought bk from Boccamiello’s
Sick Nutella Pie!!! Tiramisu Rocks!!Lombarda & Quattro Formaggi are off the hook! Piatti Di Campania & Salumi is a must, great portion with Focaccia of course.
Pecora Bianca, Dorado Tacos, Roberta’s Pizza, Takumi Taco, Bao by Kaya, Rockaway Clam, Inday, Little Collins, Bob White, Top Hops, Tuck Shop, Go Fish Sushi, Liquiteria, Taim, Kuro-Obi, Trapizzino.
Newly-opened thin-crust Boston pizza chain seats~25 ppl. BEST non-NYC-style 'Za on UES! Make it ur way: healthier, Vegan or GF & in 1/2 or full pies. Super-fast & fresh...more like Cali ‘Za #pizzatime
Pepperoni, Roasted Mushrooms, Pickled Red Onions & Basil on Mozz w/ fresh tomato sauce😋
My new “Selfie” creation: Spicy Sausage, Bacon, Red Onion, Green Pepper, BBQ sauce, tomato sauce + mozz...next up: same except w/ ckn, XTRA BBQ sauce, no Grana Padano & sausage for “CA-style BBQ Ckn”
