Pizza and Bakery Locations
Editorial Opener on Lexington Avenue
LaRustica Pizza serves thin and crispy New York style pizza. Slices start at three dollars, while pies start at fifteen dollars and ninety five cents. The Bianca pie combines mozzarella and ricotta. The topping list includes beef choices but no pork options. Daily hours begin at ten each morning. Closing runs to one thirty in the morning Monday through Wednesday and Sunday, three forty five on Thursday, and four thirty on Friday and Saturday. The supplied review summary notes weaker feedback for calamari.
Second Course at Famous Original Ray's
New York slices share the menu with pasta, calzones, hero sandwiches, and wings. The menu is not limited to pizza, with several other familiar pizzeria formats available. Calzones and heroes offer a different format from a standard slice, while pasta and wings round out the selection. Inside, the dining area is spacious. The business has operated for more than fifty years. Daily hours begin at ten in the morning. Closing is midnight from Sunday through Thursday, with service continuing until two in the morning on Friday and Saturday.
Bun Pickup Before Three
Dating to 1916, the Orwashers brand brings more than a century of baking history to this compact neighborhood outpost on West 84th Street. The counter serves bagels, cookies, smaller baked goods, and coffee. Handmade loaves appear in a limited selection, rather than the full assortment carried at larger locations. Daily hours run from seven in the morning until three in the afternoon. The daytime schedule places this bakery in an earlier phase of the food lineup, with the doors closed by midafternoon rather than serving as a late stop.
