BEST PIZZA IN NYC. I mean it. Jay Z and Beyonce are regulars here and have told the press it's their favorite pizza place multiple times. However, it's the most hole-in-the-wall as they come - ten tables, cash only, byob. It'll be a long wait but luckily the apartment is less than a ten minute walk! Put your name in early in the evening, check out of a few local bars or have a glass of wine at the apartment while you wait. It's worth it, I promise!
