My Favorite New York Pizza
Like most native New Yorker’s we are passionate about our pizza. We all have our local favorites. I remember growing up, after a night out with ‘da boys, we would head to Nick’s Pizza on Gun Hill Road in the Bronx. The place never disappointed (yes there is a Gun Hill Road in the Bronx).
You can always tell someone from out of town when they order a pizza saying “can I have a slice with cheese.” A New Yorker would never order a slice “with cheese.” We just say, ” give me a slice.” It already has cheese.
Some of my personal favorites are lined up on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. So when visiting New York City be sure to head to Bleecker between 6th & 7th Avenue.
Bleecker Street pizza on the corner on Bleecker Street & 7th Avenue is my personal favorite. I especially like their “square” as we call it.
Keste Pizza on Bleecker Between 6th & 7th serves wonderful individual pies. The place is cozy, narrow and often crowded. They offer a wonderful variety of selections.
There is always John’s on Bleecker which always is a safe bet. Do not be fooled by the “hole in the wall” feel of the place, the pizza is excellent.
Lastly, there is Joe’s Pizza at 7 Carmine Street, just off of Bleecker and 6th Avenue. Small place with a wonderful, classic, New York slice.
