What Is The Best Pizza NYC Has To Offer?

By Jaclyn Hurley


We think of certain things as being associated with certain cities. One of the things that we categorize this way most often is food. Lots of people associate Philadelphia with cheese steaks, Los Angeles with tex-mex, and New York City with pizza.

It's hard to find someone who does not like the cheesy, saucy, herby deliciousness of a good pie. The variety of toppings makes it easy to adapt to all kinds of tastes. Because there are so many variations, It is difficult for people to come to a consensus when trying to decide which is best. If you are looking for the best pizza nyc has to offer, you will get a lot of different opinions.

One way that people often make decisions about "best of" lists in New York is to divide the options by neighborhood. Each area of the city has a unique character, and the restaurants there often reflect the neighborhood's history and/or its current population. One thing you can find in almost any neighborhood, however, is pizza.

Here are some suggestions for finding great pizza in a few different New York neighborhoods. From corner slice-joints to fancy, artisinal places, you will find countless options in every neighborhood. Try out some different places, but be sure not to miss these gems.

Rosario's, Lower East Side. In the years since Rosario's opened in 1963, the Lower East side has seen a huge change in its population, having become extensively gentrified. However, Rosario's has stuck around. College students from the past several decades will testify to the quality of slices like the Bacon Cheeseburger or the Sophia, as delicious when you are sober as they are after a night of bar-hopping.

Midwood, Brooklyn: DiFara. Midwood is quite a trek from Manhattan, but people are willing to make the journey for this famous place. Owner Don DeMarco hand-makes his pies. Often, a line appears outside the restaurant because DeMarco has yet to arrive and begin cooking; he does things according to his own schedule, and people are willing to wait him out!

Grimaldi's, DUMBO, Brooklyn. Grimaldi's has expanded to many states, including New Jersey and Arizona, since opening this original location, but this one remains the most well-known. Lines often form outside to the restaurant to experience the "secret recipe" of the dough used to make the delicious coal-fired brick oven crust.

Crown Heights, Brooklyn: Barboncino. This place has been around for only a few years, arriving with a barrage of restaurants on Franklin Avenue that cater to a quickly gentrifying population. Regardless of the reasons that brought it to the neighborhood, Barboncino is a delight. Their thin-crust, brick oven pizzas boast a plethora of toppings (the cremini mushroom and fennel sausage is particularly good) and their cocktails are not to be missed, either.

Lucia, Flushing, Queens. Because of Flushing's large Asian population, people do not necessarily associate it with pizza. However, if you are looking for a simple, classic slice, Lucia is a great place to go. Their crust is thin and crisp yet not hard, and their sauce has a slight sweetness along with the perfect tangy bite.

Those are only a few of the options that the city has to offer. You could make an entire trip of trying all the other pizza joints in the many neighborhoods of New York City!
