The Ten Best Slices in New York
We ate three slices a day for six weeks. These are the ones that stayed with us.
- 01
L'industrie Pizzeria
Williamsburg, BrooklynThe burrata square is still the platonic ideal. Crust dignity intact at 8pm on a Saturday.
- 02
Joe's Pizza
Greenwich VillageThe plain slice that other plain slices aspire to be. Don't get the pepperoni.
- 03
Scarr's Pizza
Lower East SideThe grain matters; the cheese matters more. Tomato sauce sings.
- 04
Mama's Too
Upper West SideSquare heritage; corner-piece evangelism warranted.
- 05
F&F Pizzeria
Carroll GardensRound, restrained, perfect under a single light bulb.
- 06
Una Pizza Napoletana
Lower East SideCesarò margherita. $30. Worth it once a year, minimum.
- 07
Lucali
Carroll GardensThe reservation; the candlelight; the actual pizza. All true.
- 08
Lions & Tigers & Squares
Greenwich VillageDetroit-style done right, with a crust that earns its caramelization.
- 09
Roberta's
BushwickBee Sting still earns the bee. Get one with the regular pepperoni for contrast.
- 10
Patsy's
East HarlemCoal oven. 1933. Order the half-pie cold from the fridge for breakfast tomorrow.
