Don Antonio NYC.

Worth it, says Antonina. Each one was the best and delicious in its own right but the most surprising of all was the gluten-free which could not be distinguished from the regular pies.

Worth it
  • Address309 W 50th St, New York, NY 10019
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

The food world of pizza has historically been run by men, but Don Antonio’s Giorgia Caporuscio is looking to change that. Caporuscio has been dubbed the Queen of Neapolitan Pizza and it’s not hard to taste why.

The menu at Don Antonio’s is made up of 45 different pies and a handful of fried pizzas (popular in Naples). Every pizza on the menu can be made gluten-free, so you’ll have a ton of NYC gluten-free pizzas to choose from.

We recently did a taste test which included a gluten-free pizza (Truffle Burrata & Prosciutto), a fried pizza (the Montanara), and another of their signatures (Pistacchio & Salsciccia). Each one was the best and delicious in its own right but the most surprising of all was the gluten-free which could not be distinguished from the regular pies.

A word to the wise, Caporuscio’s pies are a hot commodity and Don Antonio’s doesn’t take reservations, so be prepared for a short wait.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
