Pizzeria · East Village · 317 tips and reviews

Adam K.Adam Kuban: My two favorite pizzas here are the brussels sprout and pancetta pie and the cherrystone clam pizza. But you really can't go wrong with whatever calls to you on the menu. Read more.

Adam K.Adam Kuban: Owner Paul Giannone has a gift for great topping combos. My favorites are the Anise & Anephew and the Hellboy (hot soppressata & spicy honey). For brunch, the Monte Cristo is absolutely craveworthy. Read more.

Pizzeria · Williamsburg · 200 tips and reviews

Adam K.Adam Kuban: Almost all the pizza here is great, but the grandma slice and grandma slice with pickled vegetable are KILLER. Also? BEST MEATBALL SUB in the city. Read more.

Adrienne's Pizza Bar is one of My Great 8 NYC Pizzerias.

4. Adrienne's Pizza Bar

8.2
54 Stone St (Mill Ln), New York, NY
Pizzeria · Financial District · 230 tips and reviews

Adam K.Adam Kuban: The old-fashioned pizza, basically a grandma (or "nonna") pie, is insanely great here. It's THE pizza to get, plain or topped. A riot of crust textures, crisp, chewy, springy-fried. Read more.

5. Louie & Ernie's Pizza

9.0
1300 Crosby Ave (at Waterbury Ave), Bronx, NY
Pizzeria · Pelham Bay · 50 tips and reviews

Slice Pizza BlogSlice Pizza Blog: Great sausage here from a local place in the neighborhood. Big, juicy, fennel-flecked chunks. Good white pizza too. Get a sausage pie whole, so the cheese melts around the meat and it stays on the pie

6. Patsy's Pizzeria

8.8
2287 1st Ave (btwn E 117th & E 118th St), New York, NY
Pizzeria · East Harlem · 143 tips and reviews

Adam K.Adam Kuban: Only one of two coal-oven places in NYC that sells by the slice (the other is Sac's in Astoria) -- over in the small take-out shop near the corner. I prefer the whole plain pie with regular mozzarella

Di Fara Pizza is one of My Great 8 NYC Pizzerias.

7. Di Fara Pizza

8.6
1424 Avenue J (at E 15th St), Brooklyn, NY
Pizzeria · Midwood · 351 tips and reviews

Adam K.Adam Kuban: You're probably already here, so my tip to GO BEFORE OPENING is probably wasted on you. So I'll just say, GET A WHOLE PIE. Round or square. Both great. It's not worth the wait for only a slice or two. Read more.

Kesté Pizza & Vino is one of My Great 8 NYC Pizzerias.

8. Kesté Pizza & Vino
