There’s the classic New York slice:\u00a0shaped like the Flatiron Building, a\u00a0crust that’s thinner\u00a0than the 176-page “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” set in Manhattan,\u00a0foldability like reading The New York Times on the subway, a\u00a0cheese pull\u00a0as stretchy as the Yankee Stadium seventh-inning stretch. And then there’s\u00a0the cheffy New York slice that comes via Tuscany, adorned with ingredient-forward\u00a0Bianco di Napoli tomatoes, Liuzzi cheese, and soppressata.\u00a0This contemporary version has been crowned America’s Best Pizza Slice and Pizza of the Year in 2025 by 50 Top Pizza<\/a>,\u00a0hailed as the Michelin guide to pizzerias.<\/p>\n

NYC diehards are going to dispute this, since\u00a0every local has a strong opinion about “the\u00a0best” specimens, like these reviews touting the most mouth-watering New York-style slice joints<\/a>. But take it from Bobby Flay, who declared in a 2024 Instagram<\/a> Reel that “the pizza I’ve been eating the most in Manhattan right now is L’Industrie. … It’s insane. Those boys are killing it.” The celebrity chef should know —\u00a0he grew up on the Upper\u00a0East Side and is known for his famous pizza dough and grilled pizza. As Flay shared, the pizzeria’s second, more spacious West Village spot\u00a0is “literally my favorite place to walk into in New York City.”<\/p>\n

New York slices are grabbed takeaway and savored, folded\u00a0in a New\u00a0York minute without missing a beat, fulfilling pizza’s 18th-century Italian raison d’\u00eatre as affordable, handheld sustenance. At L’Industrie, fans in fast-moving lines\u00a0dig in at indoor tables or counter space, or while socializing on the sidewalk. But the trademark touch of a New York slice is never compromised:\u00a0cheese grease trailing down your wrist like Knicks legend Patrick Ewing dribbling a basketball down the court.<\/p>\n

Crust is crucial in a New York slice: patiently fermented so the\u00a0fragrance of freshly baked bread hits pleasantly with the chaw of each chomp, sturdy enough to hold lots of mozzarella\u00a0\u2014 or at L’Industrie, next-level garnishes like braised cremini mushrooms and prosciutto from Parma\u00a0\u2014 without keeling over, lightly charred courtesy of a quick cook in gas ovens. L’Industrie’s is super slim,\u00a0crunchy, leopard-spotted\u00a0like the Neapolitan style, and enveloped in umami aroma from longer natural leavening\u00a0and high hydration.<\/p>\n

Start with the margherita, with a combination of\u00a0tart tomato sauce,\u00a0luxurious mozzarella, and grassy basil leaves in the slice shop’s perfected formula. Next, bring on its\u00a0iconic burrata, crowned with two bodacious blobs of superlatively silky buffalo mozzarella. Then, tackle the pepperoni, the adult version of the typical pie you grew up with, showcasing ‘roni cups from fourth-generation Italian-American sausage-makers and Calabrian chilis. There’s also the award-winning New Yorker that includes pepperoni dotted with ricotta and splayed with spicy sausage, and several other pizza varieties are offered daily.<\/p>\n

Bobby Flay also praises\u00a0L’Industrie’s\u00a0creamy\u00a0soft-serve gelato, where motherland flavors like olive oil and pistachio\u00a0and New-World varieties of wild blueberry and Oreo\u00a0are dappled with sea salt or olive oil. Other\u00a0favorite finishers include millefoglie, olive oil cake, pistachio tres leches, and bomboloni.
