A *Definitive* List of the 20 Best Pizza Places in New York

Searching for the best pizza in New York City is kind of like looking for the best sand at the beach: Almost anything you find is going to be pretty satisfying, and it’s truly hard to go wrong. Even the 99-cent slices are better than the so-called “best” pizza in a lot of other cities (sorry, everyone else, but it's true).

That said! There are definitely some top-notch slices worth seeking out, and not just because of the taste of the pies. Many of the best spots in the city also have interesting (and very New York) back stories that add to their appeal. Read on for the absolute best pizza places in NYC, from thin crust to square pies to Neapolitan style. (And btw, if you want to explore even more of New York City, may we suggest checking out CosmoTrips, our new travel-planning biz where we do all of the scheduling for you, and you do absolutely zero work? Pizza's definitely part of the plan, don't you worry.)
