Paper Thin Pies With Staten Island Roots
Paper thin pizza brings Staten Island roots and a warm vintage room to Manhattan.
🍕 Thin Crust, Big Character
Joe and Pats carries a Staten Island story into its Manhattan dining room. The family opened the original in 1960, and this location keeps the focus on paper thin, Neapolitan style crust with a warm vintage feel. The room stays straightforward with wooden tables and a large rounded bar.
The menu gives the thin crust plenty of range. The Margherita and Original pies keep the spotlight on the base, while vodka and pesto sauces add a sharper detour. Classic pasta and chicken dishes make the table easy to plan for a group, and the gluten free crust option widens the choice set. The pizza stays at the center of the meal, with familiar Italian comfort around it.
Bar seating gives solo diners a natural perch, while the full menu supports a slower dinner. The 1st Avenue address keeps this Manhattan stop easy to place. Weekday dinner starts at four PM, and Friday through Sunday service starts at half past eleven AM. Start with a pie, then let the sauces shape the rest of the table.
