That pizzeria is Grand Appetito in Little Italy. Grand Appetito was founded in 2012 by the owner’s cousin Angelo who arrived from Palermo, Italy.

You can’t go wrong with any their pizzas off their menu or their pizzas ready for those on the go but one pizza that does stand out is their “grandma’s pie” (which you can try on our tour of Little Italy & Chinatown).

All the restaurants, bakeries, pizzerias etc. below have a ton of buzz about them and we can’t wait to try them all. Try Dominique Ansel Bakery’s Cronut – 189 Spring St Since it was introduced, there have been long lines every day of people waiting to buy Dominique Ansel’s latest creation, the cronut. The cronut is a cross between a croissant and a doughnut. Long lines may actually be an understatement as there have been stories of scalpers, people paying to cut the line and of course bootlegs.
