1295 3rd Ave
Bicolore is half margherita, half gorgonzola, and all delicious. Mezzaluna is the perfect low-key Italian dinner on the Upper East Side. You can’t go wrong with any of the brick oven pizzas; however our recommendation is the spicy black linguine with shrimp.
186 Ave B between 11th and 12th New York, NY
Hidden East Village gem for thin-crust lovers. We ordered the hickory smoked bacon, but we hear the Homemade Chicken Chipotle is incredible too.
54 Stone Street New York, NY
No, not named after the drink, this 'Old Fashioned' means crushed tomato, homemade fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
254 5th Avenue Brooklyn, NY
Anything from the 'Third Generation' menu is good, but the Tartufo's black winter truffles, fontina, ricotta, mozzarella and olive oil is the one to order.
221 W 38th St
Potatoes on a pizza? Lazzara's knows how. Danny's Delight means sautéed onions and red potatoes, but add sundried tomatoes if you're feeling adventurous.
90 WORTH STREET NEW YORK, NY
Fresh ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, tomato sauce, smoked ham, salame and a pinch of black pepper.
310 2nd Ave New York, NY
Just do it, but make sure you leave room for dessert, their cookies are spectacular.
32 Spring St New York, NY
Wood oven pizza in Little Italy doesn't get much better than this. Meat lovers will tell you the pepperoni pie is the one to get, but we loved the Citterio Pancetta topping.
349 E 12th St New York, NY
You can’t go wrong here. We definitely recommend the Margherita, the Soppressata Piccante or the Colatura di Alici. Start with the Warm Spicy Octopus & Potato.
295 Flatbush Ave Brooklyn, NY
Top Chef's Ashley Merriman thinks this is the best pizza in Brooklyn. We don't disagree, but make sure you leave room for one of their incredible desserts.
1424 Avenue J Brooklyn, NY
Dominick is a true pizza master and takes his time to get it right. Be patient and don't be picky. You will be back. Cash only.
230 9th Ave New York, NY
Super-crispy crust topped with béchamel, buffalo mozzarella, parmesan and caramelized onions. Just perfect.
19 First Avenue NY, NY
Vine ripe tomatoes, mozzarella & spicy salami. We've heard that adding black olives makes this even more delicious, but we prefer it as intended.
184 Eighth Avenue New York, NY
Neapolitan pizza at its very finest. The capellacio is charred and marinated oyster mushrooms, mozzarella, pecorino, and basil.
178 Lexington Avenue New York, NY
A little on the crispy side, but definitely get a couple of their incredible toppings to balance things out. They even do a Nine-Grain Organic Crust if you request it.
686 6th ave Brooklyn, NY
Only for the bravest of pizza lovers, Serious Eats' New York editor Zach Brooks says "this is a gross abomination in the best possible way."
91 1st Ave New York, NY
Slow service, but well worth it for one of the best calzones in the city. Call ahead and plan on picking up if you're in a hurry.
328 E 14th St New York, NY
So much better than the regular margherita slice. Piping hot, large and very messy, one slice is all you'll need.
960 8th Avenue New York, NY
Topped with peppers and sausage this is one of the most popular slices in all of New York.
74 Bleecker Street New York, NY
They call it 'The Dude', and it's strictly for those with a big appetite.
