Best Pizza in NYC!

by itsbeenvery

New York is famous for its pizza, but despite having lived here for 3 years I still hadn't found my own "spot" for fresh, delicious, rave-worthy pizza. However, after my past 4 meals at Pizza Gruppo, I can say that it is hands down my favorite pizza place in the entire city! The location is great, the whole area is littered with great places to eat, including Northern Spy and Ciao For Now. Pizza Gruppo serves up fresh, yummy pizzas on a paper-thin, crackly crisp crust. My favorite is the Shroomtown pizza, that features 4 kinds of mushrooms and truffle oil. It's amazing! They also serve great salads, my favorite being the summer spinach salad. It comes with spinach, fennel and pine nuts, in a lush lemon vinaigrette. The lunch specials are great too- you can can a plain slice, soda and generous house salad for just $5. I love Pizza Gruppo and can't wait to go back!

great spot/great pizza

by AMandK

We go here all the time and love the salads and pizza. In fact, we always go here directly from JFK on our way home from trips abroad with luggage in tow. Really great atmosphere, service and food.

Best gourmet pizza!

by looneybin93

We've loved the thin-crust gourmet pizza from the first time we've been there! Limited seating makes it best to go during off-hours, but it's a great place to share a pie (with their fresh ingredients and toppings) and a beer with a friend or date!

  • Pros: Pizza
  • Cons: Limited seating

Best Pizza in all of Manhattan

by bargrrl

I am reluctant to write because I would not want my jem of a pizza place to become overcrowded. However, it is jus too good to not praise it. By far, the best pizza in Manhattan. The crust is thin, the ingredients are fresh and the staff is friendly. For all you lazy folks that don't want to come to Alphabet City, I say, "good - stay out. less wait time for me!"

  • Pros: Pizza & Nice Friendly Neighborhood Joint
