Best Pizza in New York.
Harry's top 10 pizza spots in New York score 89–96 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.
New York invented the coal-oven pizzeria in 1905, on Spring Street, and has been arguing about it since. The city runs on the fold test: a real slice bends without cracking and holds its grease. Brooklyn's old coal-fired guard bakes stiffer, crackling crust that won't fold at all — a different pizza, not a lesser one. The dollar slice on every corner is a tourist tax dressed as a birthright. Harry wants char on the bottom, restraint on the cheese, and a crust that remembers Naples without pretending it never left.
