Motorino East Village

We just had two pies, the white with brussel sprouts and the marinara. Both were well done and a pleasure to eat, and served by a waiter who is lovely to deal with. Definitely a place to stop in if you're in the neighborhood looking for good pizza. It's nice to be waited on as opposed to just taking it to go.

We were so excited to check this place out! It’s hard to know where to go when it comes to finding the best pizza in the city. I happened to come across an article that mentioned this location and decided to give it a try. At the end of our 3 week road trip, my kids and I still agree that this was the best pizza we tried out of a handful . We loved the Margarita!

First I heard about this place was from "The Food Lab" book, from J. Kenji López-Alt. He came here to do an experiment and understand if the water that they use would influence the quality of the pizza dough. All about that myth that the pizza is better in Italy because of the mineral water there. About the restaurant: they have a really good napolitan style pizza - one of the best that you can find in NY - a super friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. I'm giving four stars because sometimes the amount of toppings can be bit heavy (too much cheese or sausage in the Amatriciana, for example). But overall it's a great experience, try it!
