50 Best Pizza Restaurants in New York

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Generally not a fan of New York thin crust pizza, I thought Rubirosa was fantastic. The flavor of the pizza more than made up for the cracker-like crust. Everything on the menu looked so good. The people next to us ordered the lasagna for two and now I have to try it on my next visit. Be sure to make a reservation a week in advance!Dietary restrictions: Large selection of gluten free pizzas and pastas“

“This place is known for their classic thin pizza and square thick pizza. We had the pepperoni and Margherita pizza. Amazing! Perfect crispy crust with a light sauce. Long line for take out but we sat ate the bar to eat slices in air condition.“

“Great place.. Amazing dishes and desserts. Amazing staff and host. Will definitely be back. —— If I had one con, it would be the speaker volume. It really needs to be at an appropriate dinner volume in that you can have a discussion with that people at your table and not shout. We asked twice for it to be lowered. But I’m unsure it was ever adjusted. Loud club-music volume while dining is just unnecessary.“

“It is very good but not worth going out of your way to obtain. Worth trying once if possible. We drove from Jersey, paid the toll, and waited 40 minutes for a margherita pie. We ate two slices freshly served, and they had a nice crispy bottom and balance of sauce. It was lacking a bit of salt for me. We ate another microwaved slice at home, and it tasted no different than any other Jersey pizza. Please note it takes at least 40 minutes to prepare from the time of placing a takeout order.“

“All the walk ins were already booked when we showed up right at open (5pm on Sat), but they put us on the waitlist. Luckily, around 8pm we got a text saying to come in at 8:45. A good option if you live nearby or have things to do in the area.The Pizzas we got were cooked to perfection. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had in the city. If you like Neapolitan style, you won't find a better dough anywhere. Our dessert, Almond Cremolata was simply delicious.The ambiance was amazing. You get to see the chefs and the process of pizza making if you get seated close enough. Service was friendly, quick and efficient.“

“I would fly from SoCal where I live to NYC just to have a slice of this pizza. It’s my go to spot whenever I’m in the city. They don’t do slices so you gotta buy the whole pie, but I don’t mind because this is the best pizza on the planet!“

“I've been guilty of reviewing Joe's before without photos and have learned my lesson, so here we go again.I will say this, Joe's on Broadway is definitely the busiest location (Washington Square and the financial district are popular, don't get me wrong, but they don't get the foot traffic that this one does). Don't let the line discourage you - people generally know what they want and move quickly. I'd recommend looking up what they have before you hop in line so you can make ordering as easy as possible.Awesome staff who are quick and efficient based on the volume they have to deal with - and know that everything is, for the most part, freshly made and they won't run out of anything. Enjoy!“

“I was up and down about buying this pizza because of the cost...HOWEVER, I thought I'd give it a try. It arrived today...Man. REAL PIZZA after 20 years of being GF. It was delicious! I've order online frozen items (cookies, pizza, apps etc) before and this was, by far, the best delivery result. Frozen solid, minimal waste and even the GF taramisu I was nervous about experienced no thawing. It was supposed to be for someone else but oops, so good my taste testing went a bit too far. What taramisu?? :) I ordered 3 GF pizzas and have only tried the sausage and mushroom so far. The crust edge was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle while the pizza itself cooked up nicely. I like mine a bit well done and even doing so, the toppings didn't burn. My ONLY complaint was it needed a bit more sauce for my personally liking and because it was fresh and tasty, I wanted more. Maybe a side to dip my crust in?? What? Yes. Great job Kreste!“

“They must have a crew of nonnas in the kitchen here because this food tastes like a New Yorker’s childhood. Hospitable and charismatic, from the host to our server- the true energy of an authentic Italian restaurant. Ask for Anastasia when you come in if you want to have an amazing dinner, couldn’t ask for a better time for a memorable evening between close friends.“

“Lovely lunch place a few blocks from Washington square park. Elevated, clean and precise are how I would describe both the food and atmosphere. I really enjoyed the crudo and the asparagus fries just seem like a beautiful staple of this restaurant. While I didn’t have anything to drink, I did take a peak at the bar and an after dinner cocktail here looks like a lovely night.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! It is my favorite resturant in the city by far. When I tell people I love this place I don’t even mention that it’s vegan because it’s that good you cant even tell. I always leave with my stomach full and satisfied and never hurting, everything tastes sooo fresh and amazing. Plus the staff are the best always Shau always helpful and super nice“

“Beautiful place to eat. It was sunny when we went and it was super comfortable on the terrace.The food was delicious and the quantities were quite large.I especially recommend the pesto pasta and the mushroom pizza. The chocolate ice cream was also spectacular, you could tell it was homemade.Finally, I would like to say that we were served by a Venezuelan girl who was a wonderful person.“

“Come for the space, there's a lovely enclosed patio in the back! Stay for the pizza and the drinks, both of which were surprisingly good. Be warned, however, that the menu is a novella. So many options, it's approaching overwhelming. If you like Neapolitan-style pizza, you'll definitely enjoy La Lanterna's. It was the right chewiness, and the toppings and sauce were tasty. I also had one of the many available adult beverages, opting for a hard coffee. It was excellent. The cheese and pate plate was good -- the bread it came with was well seasoned and had a nice crisp. But the presentation definitely leaves something to be desired, it definitely looked like an elementary school science fair project on the plate. Overall, good food, not too pricey, and a nice patio. Solid option!“

“Been here several times idk what took so long for the reverse, but this place is 10/10. Always great customer service and ambiance. Been for lunch when calm and busy dinner time. Food is always on point freshly made and hot. Flavors are robust. Pricing is average, but worth it. Love how much the business has grown. Can't wait to continue going back and bringing new people with me. The spicy calamari as appetizer never fails. For main course i had the penne (don't remember exact name) had mushroom and truffle added chixken as protein. My niece had the lobster spaghetti and she loveddddd it! Overall, recommend and look forward to trying other locations for same great experience.“

“Food was so authentic and delicious! Service was great! A HUGE thank you to Brisa, our server! She was amazing, so so amiable and attentive! The other wait staff was so attentive as well, making sure our drinks were always filled! We had the Bucatini Alla Carbonara and Rigatoni Spicy Vodka..we highly recommend!!! And let’s not forget the Espresso Martini and Lemon Drop Martini!“

“Note: Review based on Pizza making class/experience.The atmosphere is so intimate and cozy.All pizzas are made in a wood fire oven. Chef Salvatore is passionate about his pizzas and loves to help the people in the class.We had a great experience. The ingredients were great and easy to handle. Don’t need any level of cooking experience to do the class.You get appetizers (salad + meatballs), followed by pizza and marshmallow Nutella dessert pizza.You mainly just roll out your dough and put toppings on. More of a date activity than a cooking class, loved it and will be back to try pizzas made by the chef.“

“After a breathtaking view of New York from Rockefeller Center, hunger spontaneously drove us straight to Ace's.Without looking for long, we spontaneously decided to eat there. The furnishings in the style of the 80s and 90s appealed to us, and the ever-popular ALF was playing on a tube television.David, who served us, was incredibly personable and warm. At the end of our visit he even became my hero.The pizzas you get here are authentic and vary in dough and are prepared in a pan.We ordered the Hot Burrata, Vodka Meatball and the Buffalo Pizza. And we can say they were simply divine. Crispy, fluffy, juicy and tasty. This Detroit-style pizza blew us away, even as Neapolitans. Our favorite was definitely the Hot Burrata.A little tip: Order the small pan pizzas in different varieties, David will certainly give you good advice.Thank you again, David, for your hospitality and for bringing me my forgotten backpack (my hero). The fact that you found us in the crowd was nothing short of a miracle.In conclusion, if you're in New York, treat yourself to this pizza at Ace's. We will definitely do it again when we visit New York. Until then, we wish you all the best and keep it up!!“

“food was really good but I didn't like the way they treated this man standing outside in the rain. they treated him like he was trash and he didn't even do anything wrong. food was excellent but they need to treat all customers the same. treat the tourists the same as the homebodies!!!!“

“This place deserves more attention! I honestly found this spot on a whim omw back home but despite ordering takeout, the service and quality was great. Super friendly server/host and will definitely be back to dine-in. I got the 8” half bulgogi/half potato ? was v tasty and fresh. Everyone please go support this place! Thanks for the pear drink :D ?“

“One of the best value for money options in Little Italy. At noon there is a lunch menu, varied and exquisite. We had eggplant parmesan, Tagliatelli Alfredo sauce and some really sensational canolli. Very good service, acceptable decoration, not dazzling but more than adequate.-One of the best options for its price-quality ratio in Little Italy. At noon there is a varied and exquisite lunch menu. We had eggplant parmigiana, Tagliatelli Alfredo sauce and some truly sensational canolli. Very good service, acceptable decoration, it doesn't dazzle but it is more than adequate.“

“The pizza is first & foremost amazing! Im not a pizza kinda person but i could have their pizza everyday for sure, not even trying to exaggerate. My favorite is a bit basic, margarita/plain slice but they make it better than any other pizzeria ive had in NY?“

“FOOD- Freshly baked dough and rich tomato sauce, the crust, perfectly crisp on the outside yet delightfully chewy inside. Each bite bursts with flavor. The cheese stretches tantalizingly with freshness. An experience that captures the essence of New York's culinary heritage.PRICE - very reasonable.LOCATION -many surrounding shop.ATMOSPHERE- cozy, friendly staffs and clean!“

“We had an excellent experience at Marcellino. The meatballs were fantastic. The mozzarella appetizer was one of our favorites. I especially loved the raspberry blossom drink. We had no problem making a reservation and the service was excellent.“

“The bar is nice, good area of town, the host and everyone working there was cool. The pizza was just fine. Eaten better.Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator to get to the bathroom downstairs. It's a little crowded in the restaurant.“

“Supposedly the best pizza in NY. After trying 5 places, I believe it. I am really beyond shocked that I've had so much better pizza in so many other places than NYC. Not many flavors, not a whole lot of flavor in them. It's not bad, but I expected so much better. There is not much seating, dirty, and overcrowded.“

“Food, drinks, and service were incredible! My husband and I stumbled on this place on a date night in NYC, and it was absolutely perfect for a date night! The only thing is the restaurant is tiny tiny so don't think about having a large dinner party, but for a more intimate dinner or lunch, I would highly recommend it! The burrata was our absolute favorite dish! 10/10 recommend!“

“Best pizza to get when ur faded as a mf I highly recommend coming here drunkVegetarian options: Yeah but u a bxtch if u a vegetarianDietary restrictions: Just hit the gym if u fatParking: Jus walk u lazy fxckKid-friendliness: Yes but fk them kidsWheelchair accessibility: Yea“

“The Best Pizza in NYC! - If you want the best pizza in NYC you have to go to Pop's Pizza. I'm a native New Yorker of 50 years and Pop's Pizza is my favorite pizza in NYC. They make a perfect slice... thin crispy crust with fresh sauce, toppings and ingredients. If you like garlic, you have to try the Margarita but no matter what you order every slice is amazing and the owners are fantastic. ?“

“After 4 days in New York with 2 children we finally found a place to eat well. The owner Andrea was very kind in meeting our needs, you can see that he loves his job. Highly recommended place for those who want to eat well a stone's throw from Time Square.“

“I mean, what can I say? I sat at the bar, like a lonely weirdo, and the staff was amazing. Fun people, great food, great service, and every one of the staff members has a great backstory. I’m only here four nights, I’ll probably come back four times.“

“Went here with a friend for dinner and we had such an amazing experience! The food was delicious I ordered the spaghetti carbonara and it was to die for! Maria was our server and she was great! Super helpful and sweet! Would recommend this restaurant 1000x“

“Best pizza in New York!! I went here with my family for dinner and the experience was amazing! The service was professional with attention to details. The food was delicious, we all ordered different types of pizza and we loved every single bite. (They also have gluten free pizza). We will come back soon!“

“The burgers were truly excellent. We tried the spicy chicken burger and the Emmy double stack burger, both of which were amazing and perfectly balanced in flavor. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in the service and ensuring that the food is served a bit warmer, other than that everything was perfect.“

“Absolutely amazing pizza! I enjoyed the Pesto Pizza. It was baked very well, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the balance of the different ingredients was greatThe place was clean and staff were kind. I hope to come back here the next time I'm in NYC“

“Eduardo was an amazing server. He made our night. He is such a personable guy whose mission is to deliver an experience while dining here. And he delivers! Amazing food and amazing servers. Thank you Eduardo and team!- Fabian y Liz Las Vegas NV“

“My daughter decided I had to check this place out. She said I would love it!! She was so right. Located in Manhattan and easy to get to. Such a cool Italian restaurant. It had a great vibe that was so nice for an Italian restaurant in NYC. They have plenty of seating and take reservations. We started with some Italian bread with Olives that they bring out when you are checking the menu. Server had our glasses of Vino in no time. For appetizers we ordered some cheesy garlic bread and a shareable Caesar salad. So good. Menu has so many options for the pasta lover. All made in house. We ordered the Mussels Linguini with marinara my favorite and Lemon Pasta. Both were large portions and very tasty. They also had Steaks available as well as chicken parmigiana. For pizza lovers they have some of the best brick oven pizzas. To keep the prices down they are cash only. Perfect for someone who wants to save some money and leave full:) I will definitely be back. If you are around come check them out. Open until 2am as well. Enjoy!“

“Regarding the review posted by Sole and the response from the owner: To the contrary, I would recommend that the manager remove their reply. It is unprofessional and an embarrassment to the otherwise excellent service provided. Having been to Song’ E Napule, I agree with other reviews. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is pretty good. However, thinking about the situation more and having read the above review, I will not be back. In a world in which the truth is maligned and that which is sacred openly mocked, the reviewer is absolutely right to express disapproval at what was a blasphemous label. The proprietor really should reconsider carrying a beer that would cause his ancestors to role in their graves could they see it.“

“If I could rate this establishment higher than the maximum stars permitted, I would not hesitate. "Bleecker Street Pizza" stands out as the premier pizza destination in New York City, without question. An evening stroll through the West Village culminates perfectly with a visit to this renowned pizzeria. While you might encounter a line depending on the time and day, the experience is undoubtedly worth the patience. Regardless of the time, day or night, the is the "BEST" place for "Excellent" NY style Pizza. Hands down.“

“Usually I don’t eat pizza (Don’t judge me, New Yorkers) but I got delivery from Ledo today and it was amazing!!! I tried the one with ham and olive and vegan pizza. Both were delicious and fresh! Thin crust and perfect amount of cheese and tomato sauce. The vegan pizza was even better and I’m not a vegan. Definitely 5 stars!“

“I gotta say this as a Southerner who was in town to see Long Island’s own Billy Joel at MSG. I made a total bonehead mistake and typed in the wrong amount online for payment (roughly 10x the amount with tip) and these guys were quick to recognize and contact me, assuring me that they had averted the crisis and would have my slices ready for the correct payment when I got there (which was ~ 5 til close). Not only was their service and conscientiousness appreciated, but the slices were just what this bonehead Southerner’ tastebuds were looking for.“

“I recently celebrated my birthday at Vic’s with a group of friends, and it was an absolutely fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance was lively yet intimate, setting the perfect tone for the evening.We started with the ARANCINI, which were fried to perfection and surprisingly light, with a delightful balance of lemon and fontina cheese.The VODKA pizza was special, featuring unique toppings like guanciale and marjoram that perfectly complemented the gooey fontina cheese.The MAFALDINE pasta was a revelation, with its inventive combination of pistachio, chive, and bread crumbs creating a symphony of flavors and textures unlike anything I’ve ever tasted.And of course, the CHITARRA pasta with lobster and spicy tomato sauce was fresh and indulgent.To top it all off, the TIRAMISU dessert was the perfect sweet ending to a memorable meal.The service was friendly and attentive throughout, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. I highly recommend Vic’s for any special occasion or simply for a delicious meal with friends. Be sure to make a reservation, as this gem fills up quickly!“

“Today, we stopped in to sample our first slice of NYC pizza. The gentlemen behind the counter quickly made us feel at home and not like the tourist from Kentucky who were aimlessly wandering Little Italy trying different foods. The building may be small, but the food is authentic. We opted for a large slice with fresh mozzarella, basil, and a crisp thin crust. Folks it was delish! So head on over to Nolita Pizza at 68 Kenmare St., New York, and tell them the lady from Kentucky sent you.“

“Although they don't take reservations, we were able to walk in pre show at around 6pm on Saturday night with no problem. Seated immediately. We shared a salad and each got our own pizza - both were delicious!!! A great little spot!! No complaints!“

“One of our favorite restaurants in the world! I've been dining at Orso for over 40 years and have NEVER been disappointed. The restaurant itself is understated but lovely, letting the food be the star of the show. The complimentary bean spread and bread are divine and everything else is A+. Wines are well curated and affordably priced. Waitstaff is always friendly and you very well might see someone famous there. Definitely GO“

“Crowded space but adequate for Italian, double width storefront with enough tables, so there's minimal waiting, if any. Outside seating probably only for warmer weather. Service fast & food well made, both aspects fantastic. Seafood fresh, pasta al dente perfectly made, squid ink & carbonara pasta great. Concierge thru servers very attentive. One note, the establishment appears to be operated with an all Indian staff.“

“It's Pizza Time! Yes yes it is in this Joe's Pizza in Greenwich that Maguire worked. Payment only in cash but thanks to the generosity of strangers we were able to taste it, so that's the generosity of Spiderman. No photos of the pizza, I was too eager to eat it.“

“Continued with my pizza cravings this season and stopped by this place recommended by my friend. Clearly it is known for their guilty-pleasure gluten-free pizza and their unique fried pizzas (which I didn’t get).The place seems to quite spacious with an open kitchen in the back featuring a red brick stone oven for pizza baking. Monday noon is not busy at all so we did walk-ins and got seated right away.Pistachio & SalsicciaIt features mozzarella, pistachio pesto, sausage, pecorino romano, basil. We had never had pistachio pesto before so we were intrigued to try. The basil on top and the extra virgin olive oil’s flavors didn’t fall short in comparison to pesto and sausage. I got hints of pistachio but not much from eating this pizza. The sausages were crumbly and fell kinda everywhere when I cut the pizza. The flavor is new, just not impressive.RicottaGot a lighter pizza to hopefully offset the other heavier one. It is indeed light, but I didn’t get too much from tomato sauce: I didn’t get the acidity or tanginess or sweetness, it is like my eyes were telling me I was eating a pizza rosse but my taste buds said otherwise. The ricotta was nice and creamy even after being torched. But after the pizza got colder, the ricotta didn’t want to be stay with the pizza dough anymore.I didn’t like one particular thing: they delivered both pizzas at the same time to the table and the pistachio & salsiccia pizza was a bit colder, so the cheese started to harden and there were no stretch of the mozzarella.I loved about one thing: the chewiness and the bounecyness of their crust. I wouldn’t say they have the lightest crust (compared to the other Naple style pizza places I have eaten), but their crust is the most mochi-like one. I started to wonder what flour they used to develop that much gluten. Really good crust which I am willing to eat alone or pair with maybe some dip everyday, subjectively speaking.I feel like I probably need to try some other flavors to possibly re-evaluate this place. The truffle and mushroom pizzas are still waving their hands at me.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza offered.“

“Visited nyc 4 months ago and I don’t know how I forgot to rate this restaurant !Capizzi was the best part pf my visitThe service was great and the waitress were too friendlyThe margarita pizza was outstanding, totally the best margarita I’ve ever had !I’ll be visiting nyc again this year and for sure I’ll visit capizzi again.Thank you capizzi for the outstanding vibe and food and fun and see you soon!“

“My family happened upon the best pizza of our lives!.We were waiting for a tour bus and wanted to grab a quick dinner. We saw the cute and vibrant colors of Unregular Pizza and decided to give it a try. WOW!WOW!WOW! It was the best pizza of my life! Staff was so friendly! We are from NC and looking forward to next NYC trip just for this pizza!“
