Kurt Schteck's "Fantastic Four" NY Pizza Places

Everyone tells you that New York has the best pizza in the country. I took it upon myself to ferret out the best pies the Big Apple has to offer.

1DiFara's

1424 Avenue J, Brooklyn. (at 15th St.)

The Holy Grail of pizza. The best slice I've ever had. Believe the hype.

For a full report of my Zen experience, just click on "DiFara's" in the banner above.

2Pizza Box

On Bleecker between MacDougal and Sullivan.

This scarcely known place reminds me of "high school" pizza; the place you used to sneak out between classes and grab an oily slice that tasted far better than it was supposed to. The crust is crispy and perfect. Pizza Box. Garden in the back, party in your mouth!

3Arturo's

At Houston and Thompson.

A great "designer" pizza place, with an excellent crust, good toppings and a romantic (though noisy) atmosphere.

4Lombardi's Pizza

32 Spring Street (at Mott).

This is perhaps the most famous pizza place in the village, usually neck–in-neck with John’s. Though John's was disappointing, (see full review) Lombardi's is still a top contender.

I'm visiting New York right now and if I can change my schedule around, I'm going to try Difaro's tonight.

Thanks for the list Kurt!

Kurt, I also noticed that Bob formatted the list a different way and posted it -- it looks like you and he are talking about something.

Are you friends with the lord and master of CityTools Kurt? Or are you a new staff member?

(And here's a shout out to CityTools folks -- where's the bloody documentation for the lists!!! Get moving! )

Hi Alice,

Thank you for the interested response.
Yes, I suppose I am a friend of the Lord and Master of CT.
I'm not on the staff.... nor am I being paid or compensated in any way,
other than being given a venue to shoot my mouth off !

Dude, good list! I can't complain about any of them.

Just a followup--

I didn't go to Difara because of the note about it being closed. I'll try it next time I'm in NYC.

I skipped John's because of Kurt's recommendation and wound up at No. 28 Carmine, whic was on Oscar's list -- fantastic place!

Thanks for the recommendations!
