pizza party: my favorite pizza places in nyc

Pizza is an iconic food of NYC and a staple in my diet. There are tons of options to choose from, but I have different go to spots for different reasons. Here is a list of my favorites:

If you just want a slice...

Joe's Pizza
Locations in Union Square, Times Square (my two favorite spots) and West Village
Their pizza is a thin crust and their sauce is super sweet, which is why it's my favorite. I love the fresh mozzarella and caprese slices.

Artichokes Pizza 
Locations in Gramercy, Meatpacking, West Village, Park Slope, Astoria, Bushwick, Williamsburg & Financial District  
My second favorite slice in NYC. It's thicker and bigger than Joe's. The margarita slice is my go to here. Pro tip: if you try the artichoke slice, you only need one because it's so filling!

If you want a whole pie...

John's Pizza 
Located in West Village & Times Square
You can only get a whole pie here, no slices! 

Prince Street Pizza
Located in Soho (on Prince Street, duh)
I've been here for slices, but I honestly don't get the hype. There is ALWAYS a line wrapped around the block, regardless of what time of day you come. However, I've ordered a pie here before and was more impressed with that than with an individual slice, plus you can skip waiting line if you order a whole pie. 

If you want a personal pizza...

Tramonti La Pizza
Located in East Village 
Solid sit down place with personal pies. They also have pasta too!


Speedy Romeo
Located in Lower East Side
They have lots of specialty personal pizzas. I love the classic margarita or the white album for something different. 

If you want nice aesthetics...

Paulie Gee's Slice Shop
Located in Greenpoint
This is where these photos were taken! Paulie Gee's is a Brooklyn staple. The original spot only serves full pies, but the slice shop just opened recently and is a retro dream. I had 2 slices of plain, but according to my friend Emily, the hot honey flavor is amazing.
