Nearly century-old pizzeria in Manhattan's West Village serving thin, coal-fired pies. Its thin, charred crust and simple tomato sauce draw long queues.

Highlights

  • Piccante pie
  • Mozzarella sticks

Good to know

  • Lines form outside, especially at dinner
  • Sold as whole pies, no slices
  • Small dining room with cramped booths
