🍕 Coal Fired Pies on First Avenue
Coal fired pizza takes the lead at this East Harlem institution, where thin crust pies leave the historic oven with a smoky char. The green storefront and glowing window sign announce a pizzeria with an old school streak. Inside, the choice is between a fast takeout counter and a dining room with classic Italian charm.
For a quick pizza stop, remember that takeout is cash only before joining the counter bustle. The staff turn out orders at a rapid pace, while the dine in section leaves room for a longer meal. Pizza shares the menu with classic pastas and lasagna, and the toppings range from garlic and clams to vodka sauce with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto.
Find it at 2287 1st Ave in Manhattan. Make the coal fired thin crust the focus, or settle into the Italian dining room when the table matters as much as the pie.
