Jonny's Pizza

8.6/10Italian

AI-generated summary

Get the with hot honey. The crust comes out charred and crisp outside, chewy inside, and people call it the best slice they've had. There's usually no line, unlike Scarr's nearby. A few say the dough goes bland once you get past the char.

  • I’ve tried countless pizza spots across the city, including most of the big-name places that always top the “best of” lists, but honestly, Johnny’s Pizza in the LES stands out as the best slice I’ve had.

  • The pizza is very good, and it's clear they're trying to emulate L'Industrie with their pies. They fall behind with their dough, though, as it's quite bland once you get past the char taste.

  • This was the most perfect slice I’ve ever eaten. Crisp without being dry. Great, balanced flavor with the right amount of char. We fought over the last bite!

  • replying to u/hardware_error: Bagels = Tompkins Square Bagels in the east village. Everything bagel, lox, scallion cream cheese and with all the fixings. NOT TOASTED because you’re not a savage. Russ & Daughters if you want to go to a classic institution instead but I think TSB is better. If you go to Russ, grab a knish from Yonah Schimmel’s which is two blocks away. Pizza you can spend an entire day alone trying all the different forms of pizzas. Go to a place that sells slices, not pie only places. Because your short on time, go to West Village to cram in Joe’s for an original classic New York slice, L’Industrie for artisanal modern take on NY slice, and Mama’s Too for another style. If you have time, take the 7 from grand central to Flushing for a different version of Chinatown where there is actually an Asian population there with many many cheap eats.

    joes (institutional), Johnny’s or Lucia’s for an outstanding nyc slice
