What Is The Best Pizza NYC Has To Offer?

By Jaclyn Hurley


People associate different cities with different things. This is especially true when it comes to food. When we hear Philadelphia, we think cheese steaks. When we hear L. A., we think tex-mex. When we hear New York, we may think a lot of things, but one of them is definitely pizza.

You would have a difficult time finding a person who hates pizza. It's combination of cheese, herbs and sauce are a favorite of many. Because you can put so many different toppings on a pie, it can be adapted to lots of different tastes. This is one of the reasons that people have a hard time agreeing on what kind of pizza is best. When trying to locate the best pizza nyc can offer, you might get many 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.

If you are visiting the city, you may want to simply try out the places that look (and smell) best to you. There are all kinds of pizza joints, from tiny little corner slice places to fancy, upscale, sit-down restaurants. Here are some suggestions of famous spots.

Lower East Side: Rosario's. This place has been a standby in the neighborhood, opening in 1963 lasting through the gentrification of the area. With fresh ingredients and gourmet slices like the Sophia or the Bacon Cheeseburger, it is a must-have. Decades' worth of bar-going college students with the late night munchies will vouch for this!

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!

DUMBO, Brooklyn: Grimaldi's. Although Grimaldi's has several locations in New York, New Jersey, and other states, this location is the original and the best. Like Difara's, it often has a long line outside of people waiting to try its coal-fired brick oven pies with "secret recipe" dough.

Barboncino, Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Rosario's survived the gentrification of the L. E. S.; Barboncino arrived WITH the gentrification of Crown Heights, along with many other new restaurants sprouting up in recent years on Franklin Avenue. Whatever the circumstances that surround its opening, this place is fantastic. They have a few signature pies, such as fennel sausage and cremini mushroom), with thin, brick-oven crust. They also have an impressive selection of appetizers and cocktails.

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.

You could eat different slices every day of the week in any given New York neighborhood, and lots of places have fans who would name them among the best. These are just a few suggestions!
