Pizza in Manhattan: Authentic New York-Style Pizza in the East Village

Finding great pizza in Manhattan isn't difficult—but finding a neighborhood pizzeria that consistently serves authentic New York-style pizza is what keeps locals coming back.

Since 1997, East Village Pizza has been serving handcrafted pizza from the heart of Manhattan's East Village. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch, grabbing a late-night slice, or ordering dinner with friends, our goal has always been the same: serve fresh, authentic New York-style pizza every day.

Why Manhattan Is Famous for Pizza

Pizza is part of Manhattan's identity.

From busy office workers grabbing lunch to tourists exploring downtown and locals ending a night out with a fresh slice, pizza has become one of the city's most iconic foods.

What makes Manhattan pizza special is its simplicity. A thin, foldable crust, quality mozzarella, flavorful tomato sauce, and fresh ingredients come together to create a slice that's recognized around the world.

While every neighborhood has its favorite pizzeria, the best pizza always starts with consistency.
