What's the best pizza in New York City?
Easy, non-controversial question.
I am expecting a clearcut winner to emerge.
Let the recommendations fly.

Anywhere that has slices for $1.25 or less.
You looooveee this place don't you ...

Hah, haven't been to that one in particular. Actually looks a lot nicer than the ones I'm used to going to. Where's it at, Midtown?
HA! Came here to see if someone put 2 Bros. No joke, might be the best effin pizza in the city. If you haven't had it, you have to go.
The brooklyn location and the one in east village easily added 30lbs to my name.
Lol precedence on this forum shows that this will indeed evolve into a highly controversial, politically-charged topic.
But I enjoy Pizza Beach on the lower east
spumoni gardens brklyn
Artichoke.
You truly are insane.
I concur.
I was relatively disappointed with artichoke. Too much sauce, way too creamy. Threw it out after the first bite.
prince st pizza
I second this, all in favor
Prince Street Pizza by far the best I've had in NY by a mile
We have a winner here folks.
Prince Street has superlative pizza. This is especially true for those of you who dig pepperoni. For this, it is pretty much a homerun with the bases loaded.
If very traditional is your thing, go to Lombardi's near Elizabeth and Kenmare.
that chuck e cheese ass pizza?
That's hilarious.
One bite everyone knows the rules
I’m a big fan of Harry’s. There’s a few including one in Rock Center.
Bravo, you may have found the only place worse than that dollar slice joint on St. Mark's. (Other than 'skinny pizza' in hudson eats, but I refuse to even call that pizza)
Other than the usual suspects:
Tom's on 125th and Broadway is great for Sicilian. Prince St. Pizza for their 'Spicy Spring' (Grandma-ish). The original Patsy's way uptown for a good NY slice, and the Star Tavern in Orange, NJ for a bar pie.
How did I not know about this? I will be reporting back.
Michael Scott?
Joe's
This... Can't believe it took 11 posts....
big Joe's fan as well
We have a winner
Joe's is overrated
Not because it isnt good but because its like a lot of different thin slice, greasy New York slices you can get elsewhere.
I agree with Prince Street which is a very different kind of slice. Might explain my variance in opinion on Joe's.
Let's start off "New York Pizza" is not really a thing anymore, at least you can't find many places in Manhattan. You can get close with Famiglia or a Ray's, but slice pizza has gone the way of the Dodo. The best slice pizza I have had in 15 years had been in the Bronx and Mount Vernon.
Now you want to talk pizza, like Brooklyn pizza? Luzzo's, Grimaldi's, Patsy's on 117th and Second in manhattan. Couple of other places too.
zero otto nove in the Bronx is quite good.
When I lived on UES, I really liked Delizia 73 (http://delizia73.com) and they’ve got another one farther north (Delizia 92). I got introduced to margherita pizza through Delizia so there’s sentimental value. Prior to that I grew up on pizza chain stuff. It opened me up to the world of better pizza. Similar thing happened with sushi while in NY too (before that I was a poor student satisfied with all you can eat stuff).
I haven’t been back to NY since last year, but I went to Delizia when I was there and they still serve by the slice as well.
I live around the corner. Can confirm Delizia is solid.
their rice balls!
It’s a nice neighborhood, and a lot more convenient now with the new subway line! Before that it was a bit of a walk to the 6 Train (or felt like a bit of a walk when I had to get to work by 8am).
Delizia is okay as a late night option but I find the sauce is too sweet for me.
When I was skimming their yelp reviews, that came up a few times (sauce being a bit too sweet). I actually kind of liked that it was a bit sweet. But what would you suggest as a good alternative to try next time I’m in UES?
Mimi's on 84th and Lex always used to be the place to go on the UES, but they closed down a couple years ago. Bobby Flay's first job was working there.
Posto or Pizza Gruppo (same owner/menu)
Classica (marinara sauce, fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil) is the best pizza in NYC....the Parma or the Chickpotle pies are also very good if i'm feeling like a wider taste profile.
Joe's 100%
Totonno's and Joe's
Mariella's on the upper east side
Emmett’s
Solid choice. Make you drink a lot of water after couple hours though cuz the sauce is salty
Bella Vita
Neapolitan Express near the NYSE (Personal pies for $10ish. Great taste and good deal) or Patsy's Pizzeria up in Harlem
Joe’s handsdown.
Bleeker Street Pizza
Im gonna have to go with Patsy's uptown or Roberta's in BK
Well, as Italian if you want to eat pure Italian food in NYC I would suggest you people to go to Piccola Cucina... Is located in 184 Prince St. Is a very good one!
Kesté on Bleecker.
Keste is fire but literally no one has heard of it
Has to be Johns on Bleeker or DiFara's in Bklyn.
Pretty sure DiFara's got shut down for health violations
i'd let that dude toss my pie on the floor before i ate it. is this substantiated and recent?
There needs to be oscar-style categories.
New York Style: John's on Bleecker. There's a place in midtown too. They don't sell by the slice.
Convenience/2 AM Pizza: Joe's. It's not better than John's, but you can crush a slice late night.
Sicilian: L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. It's not even fucking close. Their sauce puts all others to shame. Do yourself a favor and take a day trip out there (it's deep), you won't be disappointed.
New/Modern Shit: Emily's West Village. This place is legit, make an awesome burger too. Only problem is they think they are the new Dorsia, people wait 3 hours to sit. They deliver but it's not worth it.
Darkhorse: Artichoke makes a really good Margherita slice. The artichoke pie with a stick-of-butter-per-slice, pass. Also, their delivery sucks. BUT, that Cheese or maybe pep is a solid slice.
you think l&b is that good? i was a little disappointed in the squares and sauce. the guy probably just didn't pay his extortion and got shot over that... it's probably just your standard canned tomato+ salt. i will go back because the ice cream was worth the trip.
Luzzo's
Agreed, Luzzo's is bomb
Basille's Artichocke is terrific! On the expensive side but one slice is as big as 3-4 slices elsewhere.
Both in the Bronx... Marconi's on Gunhill Road, near Montefiore Hospital or Dino's on Mosholu Avenue, which is further north, as you get closer to Yonkers. I can't remember the last time I had good pizza in Manhattan, it's almost always a let-down. I am still mourning the loss of Nonno Tony's on 235th St. - they had a brick oven and their pizza was epic.
Angelo's, midtown West
Patsy’s (East Harlem location)- So so underrated. Very classic and one of the first of its kind in NYC.
Otto Enoteca - A Batali restaurant over in Greenwich. Very good pizza with different styles (like pizza w prosciutto, arugula, etc). It’s definitely on the higher end and does pizza in an Italian format but I recommend nonetheless. There’s also a sweet bar there.
Koronet’s - A gem located in Columbia’s neck of the woods. It’s not the “best” per say, but they are giant sized, good tasting and are all around great.
Honorable mentions: Joe’s, Bleecker Street Pizza, Grimaldi’s
Dishonorable mention: Artichoke’s Pizza (the last time I went they accidentally baked a screw into my slice - true story - haven’t been back since).
Don't we pay someone to do this professionally? What's that Barstool Sports Guy? Dave something?
pro tip: just go to new haven
Rubirosa in Little Italy.
San Matteo on the UES is pretty up there on good Neapolitan style pizza. The Tartufata White Pizza (mozzarella cheese, truffle pate’, prosciutto di parma, olive oil and basil) is literally the best pizza I've ever had.
Adrienne's Pizzabar pepperoni and sausage (it's relatively fancy), and then Lucali in Cobble Hill are my two faves for quality pizza.
Only real ones know about Adriennes.
Just moved to the LIC/Astoria area. Any recommendations for this location?
Sac's
Naples45 or Little Italy Pizza in midtown.
Best I've had is probably Juliana's in Brooklyn
Emilys in BK
..
pizza mercato greenwich village about 5 minutes from NYU, amazing and cheap
Knapp Pizza in BK
If you haven’t tried their bacon Alfredo pizza while you were in nyc, i advise you to reconsider all of your life decisions ASAP
