This Pizza Is What New York Dreams Are Made Of!

This pizza is what New York dreams are made of! The BEST pizza in NYC – hands down. Actually, the best pizza I've ever had - including Italy! (BUT, the ambiance and food reminded me of Naples!) The crust is thin and tasty, the tomato sauce is perfect (the only word that does it justice). Try the prosciutto and arugula pizza which is “holy freaking delicious!!” or get the 18” pie and try a “half and half” combo pizza, where you can pick options for two pizzas which is combined onto one pie. My favorite combo is “The Diavola” – tomato, mozzarella and spicy Soppressata, (it’s like a pepperoni pizza but with some heat) and the “Capricciosa” – tomato, mozzarella, mushroom, ham, olives and artichokes. They use green olives! The ingredients are all high quality and the taste is top notch. The pizzas come in 3 sizes - 14", 18" and 29". If you need to share a pizza between 2, get an 18". (or just get an 18” each!) The 18” is served in a rectangular shape on a long wooden board, it is served piping hot straight out of the oven. They have pastas and salads on the menu as well but this place is all about the pizza! I love the outdoor seating which is a few tables in the front of the restaurant on the side walk. You are able to eat and people watch. This is a perfect place to sit down and eat/talk for hours. The location is on a side street in the West Village which is surrounded by great architecture - a cathedral is right across the street. The street itself feels like it hasn’t changed in 40 years. You will find many locals with strong New York accents laughing and chatting nearby. It has a real “old New York” feel without being overwhelmed by tourists. They also play classic rock music such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but the volume level isn’t disruptive. Make sure you get the ice cold Peroni beer to wash down all this New York City pizza goodness!
