Simple and unfussy, Mariella Pizza makes some of the best pies you’ll find in the Upper East Side. If there’s a slice Mariella’s is known for, it’s the cheese.
Like most classic Upper East Side pizza joints, there’s a variety of pies for you to choose from. I like to mix and match, so I’ll often order their famous cheese-slice and a fun, out-of-the-ordinary slice to keep things interesting.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
