Homemade Pizza and Comfort Food in a Brownstone
Homemade pizza and comfort plates anchor a brownstone neighborhood staple with roots reaching back to 1965.
🍕 The Old School Spread
Pizza leads the way at 42nd Street Pizza and Restaurant, yet the blue and white checkered tablecloth sets the tone for a broader, old school comfort food stop. A plain cheese pie comes out wide with browned cheese and a puffy rim, while grilled chicken, fries, and salad share a plate on the same checkered cloth, and its neighborhood run reaches back to 1965.
The menu stretches beyond pizza into burgers, salads, seafood, and breakfast, with the doors open 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day. That all day rhythm fits a quick slice or a sit down plate. The 4.5 rating from 1,596 reviews points to steady local approval, and 647 W 42nd St puts it on the western stretch of 42nd Street.
Walk in hungry for the homemade pizza, then scan the wider menu for a familiar plate that suits the moment. The kitchen serves neighbors and multigenerational family regulars, which gives the room a warm, lived in pull. This is a brownstone stop with a long memory, built on food and straightforward hospitality.
