Our favorite pizza place in NYC hands down. I grew up going to the original in SI and love this one even more.

Popped in for lunch while I was in the area. We were seated at a cute table at the window. We shared the tri pie and bruschetta. Both were delicious and service was quick since we were one of the few tables at the restaurant.

The pizza is perfect. Zero flop, thin, crispy and the right amount of sauce.
When we heard that Joe & Pat's - one of our top 20 pizza places - had opened their first-ever Manhattan spot, we had two immediate thoughts, in this order: 1) We want vodka pizza and 2) Will it live up to the original? Good news: the pies here are as delicious and crackery-thin as they are at the original, and now, if you're not a Staten Island resident, you won't have to take a ferry to try some of the best pizza in the city. We especially like the vodka pie with cheese that mixes into the sauce like a tie-dye shirt, but you could conceivably eat non-pizza dishes here too, like chicken parm and baked clams. The space itself also feels a lot like the original, with walls covered in family photos and Italian Renaissance murals. Our only issue is that the prices are noticeably higher here than on Staten Island - although Manhattan tends to have that effect on things.
