🔥 Coal Fired Classics
Finding authentic Greenwich Village coal-fired pizza starts at Johns of Bleecker Street. The historic pizzeria bakes whole pies rather than individual slices inside an antique brick oven. Original founder Giovanni John Sasso dismantled this classic oven on Sullivan Street and moved it here over ninety years ago.
Diners settle into wooden booths for thin crusts topped with bubbling cheese and spicy Piccante toppings. Before the main course arrives, patrons frequently order garlic bread smothered in rich mozzarella and chunky marinara sauce. The coal fire imparts a signature char that sets these rounds apart from standard gas deck baking.
Sidewalk queues form regularly along Bleecker Street, though the line moves at a brisk pace. The dining room accepts cash payments only, making paper bills essential for every party. Savoring a Greenwich Village coal-fired pizza in one of these booths offers a true taste of old Manhattan.
