John's Of Bleecker Street

Some colleagues of mine recommend this place as the authentic ‘New York style’ pizzeria. I don’t know if pizza here actually is New York style, but I can say it was veeery good. All ingredients were fresh and tasty. Way better than other so-called ‘Italian’ places in Little Italy, for instance. Staff were quick and super nice. Totally recommend.

The best pizza I've had in NYC - thanks to my brother-in-law's obsession with Dave Portnoy! It is on the pricier side of any pizza place I've been to (think we spent about $60ish on two pizzas), but for good reason. Everything about the pizza was perfection - the crust, sauce, toppings, all of it. It is also super filling, feeding three people with two pizzas with maybe a piece or two left. I would definitely recommend getting there early, or risk waiting a bit. There was a line forming about 20-30 min before they even opened. It did seem to move fairly quickly though!

As a native New Yorker who grew up in neighborhoods with every fourth storefront being a Pizzeria, it's exciting to go back for one of those all too rare visits. John's of Bleecker was on our list for our previous 2 visits, but we just couldn't get there. This trip we did and it was wonderful. We went for a late lunch, so only had a 15 or so minute wait on an outdoor line. The staff kept us regularly informed of our place in line. Once seated service was friendly and quick. The Fried Zucchini appetizer was excellent and is always one of my favorites. It was crispy on the outside and hot and tender on the inside and was accompanied with a good marinara sauce. I thought the undipped Zucchini needed some salt, but the dipped was perfect. The pizza was a welcome respite from what we've reluctantly become used to after 26 years away from NYC. The crust was thin and perfectly prepared. The cheese and sauce transported me back a generation or two. We didn't do dessert, opting for a local Greenwich Village dessert place instead. We would definitely return, probably opting for a slower time of the day again.

This is the one. I don't think I've had a better classic NY Italian-American pizza than this. It's pricey unlike Joe's, but far more premium for an actual sitdown joint. Get the original with pepperoni added and you won't regret it. The full pie has thin crust (as it should) and so will feed two hungry people or three not-so-hungry people. The wait is long but it's worth getting into this Bleecker street legend.

I ordered takeout and my order was ready within 30 minutes on a busy Sunday...the line was out the door. When I got home/ I warmed up the pizza in my oven.. The slice is just perfect- not too heavy- not too light with a perfect amount of cheese and sauce- and the crust was crispy... I'm def ordering 3-4 pies during the Super Bowl from here.. highly recommend this place- lives up to expectations

I thought the pizza was delicious. Ordered the house Salad (it's huge, servings for at least 6 people) and Margherita with half pepperoni. Pepperoni had a very nice flavor, and the sauce was incredible. Personally would have like some more crunch to the slice. Crust was great. Lines form very quickly so be willing to wait. Moves quick.

#1 place we wanted to visit while in the city and it certainly did not disappoint. Experience starts at the door where the host was a true professional and managed everyone with ease and a smile. Top 3 pizza pies of my life. Welcome the open atmosphere and share food with your table neighbors, like we did, and enjoy!!
