The best in NYC
51 restaurants, ranked
Coal, gas, wood; round, square, grandma. The most argued-about slice in America.
Carroll Gardens · Brooklyn · $$$
Still the one I'd send anyone to first. Candlelit, cash-only, no menu — just a thin, blistered pie and a calzone. Get there before it opens or plan to wait. Worth every minute.
Midwood · Brooklyn · $$$
Dom DeMarco's hand-built pies are the stuff of legend, finished with scissor-snipped basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Worth every minute of the famously long wait.
Upper West Side · Manhattan · $$
Frank Tuttolomondo's modern slice shop reinvented the square with airy dough and inventive toppings, drawing crowds for the upside-down sicilian and rotating specials.
Greenwich Village · Manhattan · $
The benchmark New York slice since 1975: thin, foldable, well-charred, gone in four bites. Tracked as the city's default answer to "where's a good plain slice."
Bensonhurst · Brooklyn · $$
The Sicilian square here is a Brooklyn institution: airy focaccia-like crust, sweet sauce layered over the cheese, and spumoni to finish at the outdoor tables.
Nolita · Manhattan · $$
The crispy-edged Spicy Spring square, blanketed with cup-and-char pepperoni, turned this counter into a citywide obsession and a perpetual sidewalk line.
Port Richmond · Staten Island · $$
Serving Staten Island since 1937, this tavern-style institution turns out crackery thin-crust pies, with the garlic-and-pepperoni MJ a longtime local favorite.
West Village · Manhattan · $$
A coal-fired Village classic since 1929, turning out blistered, smoky thin-crust pies in worn wooden booths. No slices, no reservations, no compromises.
Bushwick · Brooklyn · $$
The cinderblock-and-shipping-container spot that defined wood-fired Bushwick pizza. The Bee Sting — soppressata, chili, honey — is the one everyone orders.
Schuylerville · The Bronx · $
A neighborhood old-timer famous for its house-made sausage slice, this no-frills Bronx parlor has quietly turned out some of the city's finest pies for decades.
Castleton Corners · Staten Island · $$
The ultra-thin, cracker-crisp crust here is a Staten Island benchmark, best ordered with the vodka sauce that turned this 1960 parlor into a borough legend.
Astoria · Queens · $
A thin-crust square cut into small rectangles, with a fine grate of pecorino over a light sauce. A beloved Steinway Street fixture since 1959.
