Brooklyn Pizza, Williamsburg Pizza

Mekelburg's husband-and-wife owners, Daniel and Alicia Mekelburg make a deeply satisfying French bread pizza. It's a torridly hot torpedo of sauce and cheese worth a walk from the Bedford L, or if you’re snacky from walking through Domino Park.

If you’re looking for a slice in Bushwick, two pizzerias both named Tony’s just blocks from each other, vie for your crumpled singles. But you’re better off heading to Fazio’s not far away.

Arthur Bovino
Manhattan Pizza

In the annals of old pizza neon, Morningside Heights must make a claim: V&T. V&T refers to Vincent & Tony Curcurato. Per its site, in 1945, these two vets returned from WWII and opened the 'V&T' at 122nd street & Amsterdam. Today, it’s a place to disappear with red-checked table clothes and tray-cooked cheese pulls.
