Discover the best pizza in New York City

New York City is the pizza capital of the United States. It starts in 1905, when a grocer on Spring Street in Manhattan received the first pizzeria license in the country, and the coal-oven pie he sold set a standard the five boroughs have argued over ever since.

The city's signature is the New York slice, wide and foldable, but the depth runs past it: coal-oven whole pies, wood-fired Neapolitan, and Sicilian squares. Brooklyn keeps the old coal ovens and the destination counters, while Manhattan perfected the by-the-slice window.

The 240 pizzerias we cover across New York City are ranked by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, not by the longest line or the loudest review.
