The restaurant's signature pizza and a favorite for those wanting a creative white pie. The thin, wood-fired crust is topped with creamy mozzarella, crunchy toasted pistachios, and finished with a drizzle of honey and a hint of truffle oil. It's a refined balance of sweet, salty, and nutty flavors that has become a cult favorite since the original Brooklyn opening.
Tips from diners
The honey and pistachio combination is surprisingly subtle. It's the best way to see the range of the kitchen beyond the famous burger.
Frequently cited as one of the best burgers in New York City. Two thick patties of high-quality dry-aged beef are griddled until juicy and topped with a spicy-sweet 'Emmy sauce,' sharp Grafton cheddar, and buttery caramelized onions. It's served on a toasted pretzel bun from Tom Cat Bakery. The dry-aged funk of the meat and the unique sauce make it a benchmark for the 'elite' burger category. Reviewers consistently praise its balance of flavors.
Tips from diners
This is a heavy, messy burger. Don't plan on being productive for a couple of hours after eating this. The pretzel bun is the secret—it holds up to the juices better than a brioche would.
A standout vegetable side that provides a bright, numbing contrast to the rich pizzas and burgers. The long beans are blistered in the high heat of the oven and tossed with a potent Szechuan spice blend and plenty of crispy garlic. It's a favorite for regulars looking for a flavor-forward appetizer.
A favorite for heat seekers. This pie features a classic tomato base with spicy pepperoni and a generous helping of pickled jalapeños, balanced by a drizzle of hot honey after baking. The contrast between the spicy meat and the sweet honey on the charred, crispy crust is addictive. Reviewers consistently name it as one of the best 'hot honey' pies in the city.
Founded by Matt and Emily Hyland, this West Village location is the Manhattan sibling to the original Brooklyn spot. While it serves incredible wood-fired pizzas, it achieved true cult status for its burger. The space is cozy and rustic, featuring a large wood-burning oven and a lively bar, making it a neighborhood favorite for high-end comfort food and craft cocktails.
Reservations are highly recommended and drop 30 days in advance on Resy. If you're a walk-in, arrive early—they often have a few bar seats available for solo diners or pairs.
It's a cozy, bustling space that can get quite loud. Great for a fun date or a dinner with friends, but not the place for a quiet business meeting.
The burger used to be limited quantity, but they now have more available. Still, if you're there specifically for the Emmy Burger, go for an earlier slot just to be safe.
