Chrissy's Pizza
It’s been impossible to get a Chrissy’s Pizza, ever since this former Bushwick pop-up began dropping pre-order links for pick-ups at its new East Village home. Eventually, in a desperate move, we offered some guy a pint of ice cream from Superiority Burger in exchange for a pepperoni slice. Thankfully, he obliged. The slice was thin, crispy, and had little pools of orange grease in each pepperoni cup—one bite and we knew our last-ditch barter attempt was worth it. When a pop-up like Chrissy’s abandons their “off-brand home oven” for a brick-and-mortar, you might wonder if the charm has worn off. It hasn’t. Hopefully, Chrissy’s Pizza will open with regular hours soon, so we never have to go to such lengths to acquire one of NYC’s best new slices—but until then, keep an eye on their Instagram.
