Whether you prefer a perfectly fresh slice or a whole “pie” seasoned with your favorite toppings, NYC has it all. There’s a reason the city’s pizza quality has been praised for decades!
If you are not already drooling over the word pizza, keep reading to find out the best “New York style” pizza places in the Big Apple.
Di Fara Pizza
You haven’t truly experienced pizza until you have had it in New York City. Di Fara Pizza is considered to be “the best of the best” by critics and locals. Every bite is a punch of flavor.
The round one pie comes covered in several cheeses and olive oil, while the crust is crunchy and salty. The pie’s fresh basil makes you wonder why every pizza isn’t covered with it. If you want a more zesty slice, get the square pie.
Di Fara’s mouthwatering pizzas are each handcrafted by the master, Domenico De Marco, who spent over 53 years perfecting his pizza with ingredients directly from Italy. Di Fara’s is notoriously expensive ($30 for a regular cheese pizza) and has over an hour wait, but it’s delicious!

Joe’s Pizza
It’s all about the slice here, and no one does a simple, regular slice better than Joe’s.
Joe’s Pizza is known for serving classic New York street styled pizza, and is called the “Greenwich Village Institution.” This is the spot where each slice is truly as good as your last!
Located: 7 Carmine St. New York, NY 10014
Prince St. Pizza
Noho’s Prince St. Pizza is the kin of square slices.
The three Sicilian styled slices offered have a crunchy bottom and soft inside, making it almost impossible to stop eating. It’s the type of pie you could eat in two seconds. If you want to be put in a food coma, definitely make your way to Prince St.

Joe & Pat’s
Are you a thin crust pizza lover?
Joe & Pat’s, a.k.a. the best pizza on Staten Island since 1960, is known for its thin-crust, vodka-sauce pizza. The pizzas are crackery-thin and the cheese mixes into the sauce like tie-dye. While this is their most recommended pizza, they also serve delicious Italian food as well.
