In my opinion, the sauce-to-topping ratio is executed perfectly, this pie is an easy crowd-pleaser.

Famed for being Frank Sinatra’s favorite pizza spot in NYC, Patsy’s is one of the best restaurants near Central Park. The iconic pizza shop has a grandfathered coal-oven that is tasked with churning out exceptional pies and has been since 1933.
We ordered the original pie and were taken aback by the rich complexity of three simple flavors (dough, sauce and cheese). The crust was thin, as to be expected with a coal-fired oven, and the sauce to cheese ratio was executed perfectly. My favorite part was the flavor of the sauce, it’s so memorable.
