Pizzas

There is nothing like getting stung by a Killer Bee – well, unless it is the Killer Bee Pizza from B-Side! It’s the perfect combination of salty soppressata, creamy mozzarella, and sweet honey. Hands down it’s the best pizza in Hell’s Kitchen. I just can’t get enough of it!

B-Side. It’s everything you want in a New York slice: high end, fast, not too pricey, and local!

I like B-Side for the consistency. Always delicious, tastes fresh because it’s made to order, and high-quality ingredients with good combinations of flavors. And pre-COVID, a great atmosphere! Though late night, Claudio’s has my pick.

Have the Hell's Kitchen slice. Great food and staff.

Claudio’s is quick and hot. I always burn the top of my mouth whenever I get a cheese slice. If Claudio is there, he always talks to me and throws in a beef patty or garlic knots. He’s a neighborhood gem.

There’s something about their sauce that makes me crave it even while I’m eating it!

Best Neoplatonism pizza and best gluten-free pizza in NYC.

Brick oven-cooked personal pies, signature fried pizza, and the many varieties for white sauce and red sauce are all creatively based on Italian cuisine. Plus, truffle burrata!

I literally cried when I first had Don Antonio pizza and had to call to double check you actually sent a gluten free one. It's that good!

I was so sad when Il Baretto closed but we still have Il Baretto To Go a couple of blocks north, Their pizza isn't your typical corner slice variety – each Roman-style slice overflows with fresh toppings. My favorites are the burrata with cherry tomatos and basil and the bianca with ricotta, parmigiano, and zucchini. Yum!

Il Baretto, because it's delicious!

Thin, delicious crust ( they make their dough on premises). So good!

La Vela's pizzas are so fresh and take minutes coming out of their beautiful brick oven. Watching the chef make it right in front of you with a fabulous glass of wine (pre-covid) is entertainment in itself.

Locals (young and old) almost unanimously said Sacco was the best Hell's Kitchen pizza. It was legit! There from behind a little sidewalk takeout window I found everything I had been looking for in a New York pizza: solid sauce, perfect cheese and, most notably, a paper-thin crust so delicate yet so crispy it blew my mind. Arguably the best crust I've ever tasted in a pizza. As wispy thin as phyllo dough, yet pizza flavor through and through. I sat on a little bench on the sidewalk out front with a soda and two slices. A perfect New York City pizza moment right here in Hell's Kitchen.

Tie: Joe’s Pizza, Sacco. Joe’s edges out Sacco on variety and quality of toppings, on crispness, and they actually deliver to me on 45th – Sacco doesn’t; Sacco beats Joe’s on authenticity to the pizza of my growing-up/high-school/college years, the gooey-ness, and the (remembered) joy of getting a slice or two from Sacco on my way home from wherever.

I love Sacco pizza. This place is old school NYC. It reminds me of my '70s childhood, and they make a damn good simple slice for $2.75.

Just had shrimp scampi pizza from The Marshal today. Delicious. Thin crust and really garlicky. Awesome.

Their ingredients are so high quality and fresh!

Outside of the old-school places (Spumoni Gardens, Lombardi's, etc) I prefer the personal pizzas, and really like what The Marshal do with theirs. They also made an effort from the beginning of the coronavirus crisis to help out in the community, ie delivering pies to those in need.

The first time I noticed it, I tried walking past it, but the amazing aroma coming outside from inside was too much to resist and I’m so glad I tried it out, as their simple cheese slice is one of the best I’ve ever had.

Vito’s on 36th and 9th. Best slice and all around grandma slices.

Their cauliflower one and their potato ones are delicious. The kids love the pizza bianca and the 'red'.
