Little Italy Pizza

The shop traces its roots to a Southern Italian family tradition of baking pies topped with fresh garden tomatoes. Today, they prepare their pies, slices, and calzones in a modern oven, keeping the doors open late into the night on the Upper West Side. While opinions on the crust texture vary from exceptionally crispy to a softer, middle ground, the kitchen does not skimp on toppings. The setup is straightforward, offering a basic seating area with plenty of tables and customer service that visitors frequently note as warm and welcoming.
