The Best Pizza in New York City
– Cecilia
Prince Street Pizza – 27 Prince St
Ray’s Pizza at 27 Prince St (now known as Prince Street Pizza) is a personal favorite. I usually order the regular pizza if I’m in a hurry. When I do have the time though, I order the appetizers such as garlic bread or garlic knots (absolutely delicious and hot). My all time favorite is the “Lasagna Pizza” which contains ricotta sauce, pasta and meat sauce. So, so delicious and creamy. The texture is very chewy and melts when you take the first bite. Ray’s Pizza is a legend for a reason – quality Italian food on the go!
– Gluten Free Steph
Risotteria – 270 Bleecker St
I’ve ate at about a dozen different places specifically for gluten free pizza. Some were bad, some were okay and a few were really great. My all time favorite gluten free pizza is Risotteria’s mozzarella and prosciutto pizza. My reason for this is pretty simple; best gluten free crust I’ve ever had plus the toppings and sauce are all great quality and tastes amazing. The first time I ate it I thought they accidentally gave me a gluten-full pizza! The only downside to this yummy pizza is the cost. For a personal size gluten free pizza it costs around $17 – $20! This to me is a little pricey for a go-to pizza spot so I make this my splurge pizza place. They also have a really great choice of gluten free beers, wine and of course, dessert!

Totonno’s – 1524 Neptune Ave, Brooklyn
Totonno’s in Coney Island is another legendary pizzeria in New York City and it is one that is high on Ahoy New York’s must try list. Totonno’s has been using a coal fired brick oven and making their pizzas the same way since they opened in 1924. It makes for a scrumptious pie that is hard to duplicate.
