Hulu was pushing Dani’s house of pizza in queens which is known for its “sweet sauce”. I’ll probably go at some point but it looks like a pain in the ass for me to get to.
Used to live in Forest Hills nearby there after Gf (now wife) and I moved from MNH. Pizza is absolutely good, and the sweet sauce is kind of unique, but I'm not sure if the trip is really worth it all the way out there unless you're doing something else in the area.
There's a nice indy theater nearby and a good sports bar nearby (Austin's ale house) that's a great place to watch Giants games and big Met games, but neither of those are really great pandemic options right now.
One under the radar place, and a great date spot, is La Lanterna cafe in the Village right near Washington Square park. Has romantic atmosphere, above average pizza, and is under the radar so mostly students/locals and not tourists. Worth checking out after the pandemic (if the place survives the pandemic).
La Laterna is where I took my GF on our second date.
on here recommended Lazzara's pizza to me. Best recommendation.
It's on W 38th, not far from Penn/MSG.
I went there and everything about it screamed this place is going to make good pizza (the entrance is up some stairs and down a dingey hallway - just looks right) and then the pizza arrived and it's square/rectangle. I almost walked out. But I'm glad I didn't. Easily best pizza I've had in NYC. Second only to Santarpio's in East Boston and the big three in New Haven. On par actually with Bar and the 2nd tier New Haven spots (Zuppardi's (West Haven), Ernies, Eli's (Hamden).
linked is Davey's (barstool) review.
and a picture from when I went - looks like high school cafeteria pizza. I think there is a similarly named spot not far from there - make sure you don't mix them up.

It's not Sicilian. Sicilian has a puffy crust like in the picture below. this was like I said high school cafeteria style (in appearance - if you went to my high school at least). Lazzara was thin crust, Neapolitan style, just cooked in a rectangle.

My co-worker can't stop raving about this place and their sauce. Never had the chance to try it myself, but it's interesting that Hulu had a show talking about the sauce too.
That area in the East Village is a very underrated area of pizza. As I said in my post, on 12th and 1st is Sauce, which I find great. In addition, across the street from Tompkins Square Park there is a pizza place that is derivative of prince street pizza that is excellent as well. Good pizza alley over there in the East Village

Just not what I was expecting.
ok, gotcha. didn't notice the flatness of the slice. You gad pizza in HS?. Nice
...near me on Hudson between Jane and Horatio. Not a slice place, though. I used to go to Numero 28 on carmine back when it opened but not recently. Although I know Joe's on Carmine is a gimme, it still does bear mention, particularly their Sicilian slice which is less well-known. And I would be remiss if i didn't mention my childhood pizza place in Yonkers, Dunwoodie Pizza, which I still go to when I'm visiting my Mom's house.

I don't know how many times I've ate lunch with my co-worker and she's like "I wish I had Dani's sauce right now to put this in". She's mentioned it so many times over the last couple of years. Always reminded me of the Frank's RedHot "I put that shit on everything" commercials. I had no idea she was a part of a larger cult who were in love with this sauce lol. I'm definitely intrigued and will have to try it one of these days.
I'm sure it's not the best, but there's this pizza joint
in NY Penn Station-Don Pepi perhaps?-that is really good. I've enjoyed it each time I've had it. Again, I'm sure there are much, much better options, but when in NY Penn Station, it's pretty good.

Rose's? If so, that's a damn good slice considering you're in Penn. Good beer selection as well.
I believe it’s owned by someone I know who also has a few Little Italy Pizzas around town (including in the building on the UWS I manage), and he recently bought Bleecker Street Pizza. All solid slices.

**I did try Di Fara's (Brooklyn) which has an almost cult following. It was certainly really good, but I have no interest of ever going again. It wasn't other wordly or worth waiting almost 3 hours to grossly overpay for a pie.
It looked like the picture below - which maybe explains my initial reaction to the slices from Lazzara.
Nah, went to HS in Brooklyn in early 80's. Lucky if we had a hot lunch. Most times it was ham or turkey sandwiches..
Wasn't pizza a staple in NYC schools? When I was in school, it was a bad French bread type that was terrible, but I liked it. One of the few things I would buy from the cafeteria.

The slices in Penn Station on both the Jersey and the Long Island side are ridiculously good for being in Penn Station. When I grew up in NJ, we would always stop there while waiting for the train back to the burbs. They are regular slices, nothing fancy, ingredients are whatever, but anytime I go to a ranger game and take the subway, I stop in for a slice.

Went to school in Crown Heights. Alexander Hamilton. they changed the name to Paul Robeson. Let me take that back, getting old, what you posted pj is what I remember now. The "crust or bread" was terrible. Taste like carboard.

That looks like what is called grandma style pizza and I make something like it at home. It’s becoming more popular from what I hear.
Zuppardi’s has been sending their pizza truck to specific towns in Fairfield and New Haven counties. They hit my town Sunday, and I got on their list. Ordered 5 football pies. Can’t wait.

I had a 6 pack delivered via goldbelly, obviously some quality loss due to shipping/freezing/cooking in an conventional oven, etc. but for frozen it's as close as you can get to real pizza IMO.

very underrated in person too.
I took my 7 year old daughter to Zuppardis and Sally’s right before the pandemic and she deemed Sally’s the best pizza in the country, but Zuppardi’s was a tie for second with Colony.

Smart kid. She is being raised right. I prefer Modern to Sally's but basically it's 1, 1a and 1b among the big 3 in New Haven. There is no wrong answer. I never had Colony, but people I trust love it.
Good enough that I've pulled off the GSP on the way home from Cape May and eaten the half hour in lost time to take 2 pies back to Binghamton for dinner.

We do the same with Frank Pepe's in New Haven on the way home from Mystic.
We may have to try this coming home from Cspe May, especially because we were just talking about how there are. O good pizza places in Cape May
I used to travel by train from Boston to NYC several times a month.
I stopped a couple years ago going from Boston to NYC and started often driving to New Haven and getting the train there solely so I could pick up pizza in New Haven on the drive home. I'd even book my trip times around being able to pick up pizza.
It's actually faster for me if you can believe that. Even with the Acela, but still unconventional since train is viewed as more convenient.

I’ve long been a Modern fan...but I stopped by in October to pick up an Italian Bomb, and have to admit wasn’t as great as I recall. Seemed like crust was thicker and doughier than I’d prefer.
Going to give Sally’s a run again next time I’m in town, that was always my favorite as a kid growing up there.
Zuppardi’s is great. Colony is very good, I’d put it a notch below the best but still quality. BAR never disappoints either
at Modern in October. Fantastic as usual. I had been though when it was just ok.
I always order my pizzas well done though. the crust when done perfectly is slightly charred and some people may be turned off by that, but it's better.
In my town in Mass I was at a pizza place called Bidinos, it had real promise. Nice thin crust, good sauce, the right cheese, toppings, etc but the pizzas were never cooked well.
I told the guy on the phone when i ordered to slightly burn the crust and I was there to pick up my pizzas and I opened the box and it was not well done. I asked him to put it back in the oven and he did - checked it and it still wasn't done enough, after maybe two more times of this he just took the pizza out and put it in a box and said "it's done".
the place is out of business now. Many places are afraid to cook the pizza. I think their ovens are too low too. 700 degrees is where I'd start.
If I ever go to Modern and the edge of the crust is not charred like this I know it's not going to be perfect.

I stopped a couple years ago going from Boston to NYC and started often driving to New Haven and getting the train there solely so I could pick up pizza in New Haven on the drive home. I'd even book my trip times around being able to pick up pizza.
It's actually faster for me if you can believe that. Even with the Acela, but still unconventional since train is viewed as more convenient.

Zuppardi’s has been sending their pizza truck to specific towns in Fairfield and New Haven counties. They hit my town Sunday, and I got on their list. Ordered 5 football pies. Can’t wait.
I had a 6 pack delivered via goldbelly, obviously some quality loss due to shipping/freezing/cooking in an conventional oven, etc. but for frozen it's as close as you can get to real pizza IMO.
very underrated in person too.
I took my 7 year old daughter to Zuppardis and Sally’s right before the pandemic and she deemed Sally’s the best pizza in the country, but Zuppardi’s was a tie for second with Colony.
Smart kid. She is being raised right. I prefer Modern to Sally's but basically it's 1, 1a and 1b among the big 3 in New Haven. There is no wrong answer. I never had Colony, but people I trust love it.
I’ve long been a Modern fan...but I stopped by in October to pick up an Italian Bomb, and have to admit wasn’t as great as I recall. Seemed like crust was thicker and doughier than I’d prefer.
Going to give Sally’s a run again next time I’m in town, that was always my favorite as a kid growing up there.
Zuppardi’s is great. Colony is very good, I’d put it a notch below the best but still quality. BAR never disappoints either
I always order my pizzas well done though. the crust when done perfectly is slightly charred and some people may be turned off by that, but it's better.
In my town in Mass I was at a pizza place called Bidinos, it had real promise. Nice thin crust, good sauce, the right cheese, toppings, etc but the pizzas were never cooked well.
I told the guy on the phone when i ordered to slightly burn the crust and I was there to pick up my pizzas and I opened the box and it was not well done. I asked him to put it back in the oven and he did - checked it and it still wasn't done enough, after maybe two more times of this he just took the pizza out and put it in a box and said "it's done".
the place is out of business now. Many places are afraid to cook the pizza. I think their ovens are too low too. 700 degrees is where I'd start.
If I ever go to Modern and the edge of the crust is not charred like this I know it's not going to be perfect.
