Patsy's Pizza

The original Patsy’s Pizzeria has been in this very same location since 1933, when Pasquale "Patsy" himself opened the doors. And the pizza looks like the results of a Google image search of “NYC pizza”—although if you called it ordinary, that would be very wrong. When you’re here, it doesn’t matter if you’re getting a whole pie or just a slice from the counter. What does matter is that you’ll need to order the plain—it’s thin and soft but holds up the bright red sauce and big circles of mozzarella cheese, and it’s the reason you’re coming to Patsy’s.
