Emmy Squared Pizza.

Emmy Squared specializes in satisfying Detroit-style square pies with a thick crust. Unlike quick-slice joints, Emmy Squared is a sit-down restaurant that provides a full dining experience (including drinks and dessert). Offering gluten-free options for two-dozen pies, Emmy Square is one of the best gluten-free pizza spots in NYC.

While getting a table is usually manageable, reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. With five locations in Manhattan (and two in Brooklyn), be sure to reserve a table at the right Emmy Squared (speaking from personal experience!).

Emmy Squared looks like a modern, trendy restaurant rather than a hole-in-the-wall Upper East Side pizza joint. They specialize in Detroit-style pizza, which is square and with a thick crust, and extremely satisfying if I do say so myself.

Word to the wise, thisn’t the place to come to if you’re after a quick slice. Emmy Squared is one of the best sit-down pizza spots on the UES. Getting a table at Emmy usually isn’t an impossible task, but if you’re planning to visit on the weekend I’d still encourage reservations. 

Emmy Squared has successfully carved a niche in a pizza scene dominated by New York style, introducing a range of Detroit-style pies that are simply irresistible. Even the discerning New Yorkers, who approach their pizza choices with almost religious fervor, find it hard to resist a bite.

For vegan enthusiasts, Emmy Squared provides two compelling reasons to keep returning. The first is the Artie Bucco, featuring garlic, caramelized onions, and basil. And the second (my personal favorite), the Larry, boasting cauliflower, spinach, chili glaze, raisins, pine nuts, and parsley pesto.

Beyond being a hotspot for the best vegan pizza in NYC, the restaurant is great for diverse tastes by offering vegan versions of various menu items, including meatballs. You won’t have any trouble accessing the best vegan pizza spots in New York City with five locations in Manhattan and two in Brooklyn.
