Chrissy's Pizza

Greenpoint·$$

Vegan Red

$30.00

16-inch whole-pie vegan option with red sauce, olive oil, and fresh oregano.

#299% recommend

Mama's TOO!

Upper West Side·$

Cacio e Pepe Square

$6.50

Thick square slice with pecorino, mozzarella, and a heavy hand of black pepper.

Tip: The edges are the best part—the cheese carmelizes against the side of the pan into a dark, lacy crust. If they offer you an edge slice, take it immediately.

#399% recommend

Di Fara Pizza

Midwood·$$

Regular Slice

$6.00

Thin-crust round slice with a three-cheese blend and hand-snipped fresh basil.

Tip: This is much more expensive than a standard slice but worth every cent. The hand-snipped basil is the secret—the aroma is incredible. Eat it immediately; it's too thin to survive a long exploration.

#499% recommend

Rubirosa

SoHo·$$$

Tie-Dye Pizza

$33.00

Thin-crust pie with vodka sauce, tomato sauce, and a pesto swirl.

Tip: The small pie is plenty for two people if you're also ordering pasta. The vodka sauce has a great peppery depth that separates it from standard red pies. Don't leave the 'bones'—the crust is the best part.

#599% recommend

L'Industrie Pizza

Williamsburg·$

Burrata Slice

$7.50

Margherita slice topped with a whole glob of fresh burrata and basil oil.

Tip: Spread the burrata ball across the whole slice with your napkin or a plastic knife before you eat. It ensures a perfect ratio in every bite.

#699% recommend

Denino's Pizzeria

Greenwich Village·$$

Cheese Pie

$30.80

Large 16-inch thin-crust pie with aged mozzarella and a savory tomato sauce.

Tip: This is one of the few pizzas in NYC that doesn't 'flop.' The crust is remarkably crisp. It's the best way to taste the quality of their traditional 1930s recipe.

#799% recommend

Zero Otto Nove

Arthur Avenue·$$$

La Riccardo Pizza

$22.00

Unique white pie with butternut squash purée, smoked mozzarella, and spicy pancetta.

Tip: Even if you're a tomato sauce purist, try this. The combination of the squash and smoked mozzarella is magic. It's unlike any other pizza on Arthur Avenue.

#899% recommend

Paulie Gee's Slice Shop

Greenpoint·$

Hellboy Square Slice

$5.50

Thick-cut pepperoni square slice finished with Mike's Hot Honey.

Tip: The corners are the best part—the cheese carmelizes against the side of the pan. If they're fresh out of the oven, take a corner slice immediately. The honey heat is subtle but addictive.

#999% recommend

Joe & Pat's

Staten Island·$$

Vodka Pie

$24.00

The signature wafer-thin pie topped with rich vodka sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil.

Tip: This is the best thin-crust in the city. The vodka sauce has a great peppery depth that separates it from standard red pies. It's so thin you can easily eat half a pie on your own.

#1099% recommend

John's of Bleecker St.

West Village·$$

John's Original Pizza

$25.00

Thin-crust coal-oven pie with aged mozzarella and a rich tomato sauce.

Tip: Don't over-top this pie. The beauty is in the crust and the char. A simple pepperoni or sausage addition is fine, but too many vegetables will make it soggy.

#1199% recommend

Totonno's

Coney Island·$$

Coal-Oven Cheese Pie

$28.00

Large thin-crust pie with fresh mozzarella and a rich, smoky tomato sauce.

Tip: This is strictly a whole pie spot. Don't go there asking for slices. The crust is very thin, so eat it immediately—the bottom is at its most crackly right out of the oven.

#1299% recommend

Roberta's

Bushwick·$$

Bee Sting Pizza

$26.00

Tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy salami, chili, and a finishing drizzle of honey.

Tip: This is the 'if you know, you know' order. The honey isn't just a gimmick—it perfectly balances the high heat of the chili and salami. The crust is thin, so eat it while it's hot to maintain the crunch.

#1399% recommend

Joe's Pizza (Greenwich Village)

Greenwich Village·$

Cheese Slice

$4.50

Classic New York plain cheese slice with a thin, foldable crust.

Tip: Get the plain cheese slice. Don't ruin the balance with toppings. It's the best way to taste the quality of the sauce and the dough. Fold it lengthwise and eat it standing up.

#1499% recommend

Lucali

Carroll Gardens·$$$

Margherita Pizza

$30.00

A thin-crust, wood-fired pie with a secret three-cheese blend and fresh basil.

Tip: Add garlic and hot peppers—they're free and they're kept in little jars on the table. The fresh garlic takes the pie to another level.

#1599% recommend

Paulie Gee's

Greenpoint·$$

Hellboy Pizza

$24.00

Fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, spicy salami, and a finishing drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey.

Tip: This is non-negotiable. Even if you're not usually a fan of sweet on savory, this pie will convert you. The salami cups hold the honey perfectly.

#1697% recommend

Denino's Pizzeria

Greenwich Village·$$

The Garbage Pie

$38.00

Cheese pie loaded with sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, mushrooms, and onions.

Tip: One Garbage Pie can easily feed 3-4 people. The sausage is made in-house and is remarkably flavor-dense. Make sure to get a slice with all the toppings to experience the full savory-salty combination.

#1797% recommend

Scarr's Pizza

Lower East Side·$

Regular Slice

$4.50

Standard New York cheese slice with house-milled flour crust.

Tip: Don't overcomplicate it. The plain slice is the best way to taste the quality of the dough. It's the most reliable slice in the LES.

#1897% recommend

Mama's TOO!

Upper West Side·$

Angry Maria Square

$6.50

Spicy square slice with tomato sauce, mozzarella, hot chili oil, and hot honey.

Tip: It's genuinely spicy. If you're sensitive to heat, maybe pair it with a plain slice to balance your palate. The honey makes the crust taste like a dessert.

#1997% recommend

Joe & Pat's

Staten Island·$$

Cheese Pie

$19.50

Tip: The sauce-to-cheese ratio is perfect here. It's a very 'sturdy' pizza—you can hold a slice straight out without it drooping at all.

#2097% recommend

Joe's Pizza (Greenwich Village)

Greenwich Village·$

Pepperoni Slice

$5.50

Classic cheese slice topped with traditional New York pepperoni.

Tip: The pepperoni is traditional—large and thin. It provides a great salty kick. Make sure to use a few extra napkins for the oil—it's part of the Joe's charm.

#2197% recommend

Paulie Gee's Slice Shop

Greenpoint·$

The Freddy Prince

$5.50

Upside-down square slice with fresh mozzarella under the sauce and sesame seeds on the bottom.

Tip: The sesame seeds make the crust taste like a high-end bagel. It's a very substantial slice, so one is usually enough for a light lunch.

#2297% recommend

Di Fara Pizza

Midwood·$$

Square Slice

$8.00

Thick-cut Sicilian-style slice with caramelized cheese edges and rich tomato sauce.

Tip: If you see a fresh square tray coming out of the oven, order it immediately. The contrast between the fluffy dough and the burnt cheese edges is the best part.

#2396% recommend

Paulie Gee's

Greenpoint·$$

Vegan Red, White & Greenhouse

Vegan red sauce pie with house-made cashew ricotta and baby arugula.

#2496% recommend

Totonno's

Coney Island·$$

Bushwick·$$

Famous Original Pizza

$22.00

Tomato sauce, mozzarella, caciocavallo, oregano, and chili flakes.
