Ask a New Yorker about their favorite pizza place and be prepared to start World War III.
In New York, the best pizza place is one of the most hotly debated topics. New Yorkers love their pizza, and when they decide that a pizzeria is the best, then that means that it is the best.
So which is really the best pizzeria in New York City?
Fortunately, our friends at Zagat helped us make the decision a little easier by choosing the Top 8 Pizzerias in New York City, in honor of Pizza Week.
The pizzerias on this list are mostly in Brooklyn and Manhattan (there's one in Staten Island), and they serve everything from authentic Neapolitan style pizzas to veggie-loaded artisanal pies to good old-fashioned New York-style slices.
Did your favorite spot make the list?
#8 Franny's
This Prospect Heights neighborhood hotspot serves authentic, wood-fired pizza topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
The only downside is that the joint is so popular that it gets pretty crowded, so prepare for a wait.
#7 Numero 28
While the craze for bubbly Neapolitan-style pizza is sweeping the city, this SoHo pizza joint moves away from that trend with its take-out weigh-by-the-slice Roman-style pizza.
Like in Roma, they cut their pizza with scissors to give customers exactly the amount they want.
#6 Keste Pizza e Vino
The chewy, thin Neapolitan-style pizza served at this West Village spot regularly makes the top of nearly every "best pizza" list in New York.
The place is small and the lines can be monstrous, so be prepared to wait--but it's worth it.
