The best pizza in Greenwich Village.
Every one from my own visits, 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.

The seal
If you're on this list, this is yours.
I went, and I said in my own words that it's worth your time. Nobody paid for that and nobody can. The seal says so, and it links back here, so anyone who sees it reads the whole list and how I decide.
Put it on your site, in the window, on the menu. Keep it linked when it's on the web and keep the words on it. That's the whole ask.
