New Yorkers\u00a0have approximately a million opinions about NYC pizza<\/a>. And\u00a0DoorDash\u2019s latest list<\/a>\u00a0just gave all five boroughs something to complain about.<\/p>\n

The delivery platform recently released its 2026 Top Pizza Spots, recognizing 40 local favorites nationwide for National Pizza Month, but just two New York pizzerias made the cut: Gino\u2019s NY Pizza<\/a> in Buffalo and The Pizzeria<\/a> in Bayport, Long Island. New York City, meanwhile, received precisely zero slots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before we convene an emergency pizza summit, consider the methodology. This customer-ratings list is drawn from DoorDash data and covers September 2025 through September 2026. Eligible restaurants and brands had fewer than 10 locations and at least 1,000 reviews and were selected based on the highest average overall customer ratings. (The results are grouped by region, rather than numbered from best to worst.)<\/p>\n

So, who\u2019s representing the Empire State?<\/p>\n

In Buffalo, Gino\u2019s NY Pizza serves New York-style pies alongside specialties that put chicken and bleu cheese front and center. Its Famous Deep Bleu Chicken Pizza combines a deep-dish format with bleu cheese and marinated Buffalo chicken. Fimi\u2019s Stinger Pizza goes further, piling steak and chicken fingers onto a bleu cheese base, with a choice of hot, medium or mild. Traditionalists can stick with cheese or pepperoni slices.<\/p>\n

On Long Island, The Pizzeria\u2019s Bayport location on Montauk Highway offers round and square pies, from a classic Grandma to considerably more loaded options. The Uncle Benny features fresh mozzarella, cup-and-char pepperoni, crumbled sausage, Mike\u2019s Hot Honey and basil. The Tri-Fecta brings together vodka sauce, pizza sauce and pesto, while the square White pie combines ricotta, mascarpone, mozzarella and white truffle oil.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I love about pizza is how local it is,\u201d said Ruth Isenstadt, DoorDash\u2019s head of U.S. restaurants, in the company’s announcement.\u00a0The company also shared ordering data that offers New York City a small consolation prize: New York-style was its fastest-growing major pizza style in 2025, with orders increasing more than 80% over 2024.<\/p>\n

Pepperoni remained the most-ordered topping, followed by onion and sausage. White pizza led the platform\u2019s style categories with more than 3 million orders, while pineapple was ordered more often than olives, bacon, chicken or ham.<\/p>\n

Apparently, America loves New York-style pizza. It just found its DoorDash favorites outside the city this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Yorkers\u00a0have approximately a million opinions about NYC pizza.
