Finding some of the best food in the world is as simple as a visit to New York City. Residents know that they can find food from a variety of cultures virtually 24 hours a day. While New York is known for its bodegas and hot dog carts, the city is also one of the best places to get a delicious slice of pizza. For a late-night meal, takeout for the family, or a quick lunch on the go, here are some of the best places to order pizza in NYC.
Lucali
This pizzeria in Brooklyn offers wood-fired pizzas with a variety of toppings. Of course, patrons can also opt for the classic tomato, mozzarella, and basil pizza. The dough is rolled out with empty wine bottles and the pizzas are the perfect combination of soft and crunchy. Lucali is a small eatery and customers are encouraged to bring their own bottles of their favorite beverage to enjoy with their pizza.
Di Fara Pizza
Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn is a favorite of George Rutler, who has been living in New York for years now. The pizzeria was founded in 1964, and the owner, Dom DeMarco, has been behind the counter serving customers ever since. DeMarco makes all the pies himself. The crust has a slightly salty taste to it, and several types of cheeses and olive oils are used to enhance the flavor of each savory pie. He often opts for the square pie, which is topped with lots of sauce and cheeses and has a heavy, buttery crust.
Ops
This Bushwick pizzeria offers pizzas made from a decadent sourdough crust. The eatery is known for its Neapolitan pie, but those who frequent the pizzeria often will likely recommend the Grandma Pie, which is made with mozzarella made in-house, basil, tomatoes, olives, and a thick square crust.
Rubirosa
Those in the Nolita area looking for a delicious pizza for lunch or dinner can check out Rubirosa. The thin crust of the pizza is similar to a well-made cracker, and the sauce tastes a lot like the red sauce used for penne a la vodka. The classic pie is a favorite, but the tie-dye, which includes a combination of red sauce and pesto, is a delicious choice as well.
These are just a few of the pizza places that make NYC a great place to live or visit. Visitors and natives, including Father Rutler, can check out these pizzerias for an unforgettable meal.
