Imagine a town so certain of its pizza superiority that its denizens seem to go to pieces when politicians dare to dine with knives and forks, its highest\u00a0ranking officials take to social media to battle the matter and some ascribe mystical powers to the local tap water that helps form the dough. That\u2019s Pizza Town, baby, less commonly known as New York City.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And it’s true; NYC does have the best pizza in the country. We root for other locales to come in second and third, but the number one spot is and always has been reserved for these five boroughs that form one perfect whole. It’s available almost everywhere, made to suit every taste and style, and there probably is something to that whole water deal. Call it a pie, a slice or just plain dinner, this is the best pizza in NYC.<\/p>\n

October 23, 2025:\u00a0This summer alone, I spent\u00a0three hours waiting just for a taste of some of New York’s finest pizzas<\/a>. Not exactly the idea of a fun activity, but at least the road was paved in flour and sauce. But with the plethora of pizzas within a stone’s throw of any city block\u2014New York’s pizzerias hit around the 2,000 range\u2014most of my time was luckily spent sans the wait, as I toured slice shops and sit-down pizzerias, carb loading in earnest to get a better idea of our scene. As a result, two new eateries were added to the list:\u00a0Carroll Gardens’ F&F Restaurant and Bar for its clam pies and cozy atmosphere; and the subway hotspot for pizza, See No Evil Pizza. After recent visits to Lucali, L’Industrie, Ops and Roberta’s (I’m telling you, a busy summer), I’ve updated each entry to reflect current menu items. We removed Best Pizza, Bleeker Street Pizza, Di Fara Pizza, Emily\u2019s, Emmett\u2019s and Emmett\u2019s on Grove, Guiseppina\u2019s and Rizzo\u2019s Fine Pizza.\u00a0We also removed Screamer\u2019s Pizza as they have closed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagine a town so certain of its pizza superiority that its denizens seem to go to pieces when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[11825,11826,5852,1733,1829,2526,11823,11822,9,24,55,54,56,821,11824],"class_list":["post-16678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-format-image-gallery","tag-global-kickers-iconic-eats","tag-global-kickers-love-local","tag-good-for-good-for-going-in-a-group","tag-good-for-good-for-going-solo","tag-good-for-good-for-locals","tag-holidays-spring","tag-holidays-summer","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-restaurants","tag-restaurants-pizza"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
