The best pizza in Greenwich Village

Updated September 2026. 7 places.

I hold views on pizza that have cost me friendships. Not real ones. But you learn quickly that the fastest way to start a fight in Greenwich Village is to say the words “best slice” out loud and then point at a specific counter. Someone will disagree. Someone always disagrees.

But here is where I can help. After more visits to Carmine Street than I can honestly count, plus a stretch of years when my husband and I lived a short subway ride away and treated the neighborhood like our own extended kitchen, I think I can settle at least part of the argument. Not all of it. Pizza people are not reasonable. But the part where everyone stands on the corner debating which slice is the one? I can end that.

  1. Joe's PizzaRestaurant · Greenwich VillageThe plain slice at Joe’s, the one at 7 Carmine Street, is an uncomplicated masterpiece.
  2. L'Industrie PizzeriaRestaurant · West VillageThese bad boys are enormous, old-world in the crust, and genuinely one of the best slices in the entire city right now.
  3. Mama's Too West VillageRestaurant · West VillageThe corners are the whole reason to go.
  4. Song' e NapuleRestaurant · Greenwich VillageWildly underrated, and I don’t say that lightly.
  5. Bleecker Street PizzaRestaurant · Greenwich Village
  6. John's of Bleecker StreetRestaurant · Greenwich VillageI have shared many a pie in one of those creaky wooden booths, the ones carved up with decades of initials, and I will tell you it is one of the most quietly romantic pizza rooms in the city.
  7. RibaltaRestaurant · Greenwich VillageGreat pizza in a room where you’d actually want to spend two hours.
