Sal And Carmine Pizza

My husband and I went here in 2016. I stupidly thought I would remember the place name to recommend to friends. I forgot (in my defense we tried a lot of pizza places some great and some not so much). This one was spectacular. Like magic on a slice. So every few months I have been looking up pizza places in New York/Manhattan to try to find this one. It was that good. I finally found it! If we ever get back to Manhattan we will 100% go again.

this. is. the best. slice. in nyc. pepperoni is definitely better than bleeker streets and all those that live in this hood are so lucky its a local joint for them. the crust has the perfect balance of greasy and gooey top with a nice flop on the crust without losing crispiness. its just a solid slice of heaven

I like a good pizza and I do have to say New York City has some of the best pizza I have ever eaten even on a trip to Venice, Italy. I lived for three years in NYC and tried different pizzas during my time there. So when my daughter and I were in NYC in October 2018 for an overnight visit to see the city, we traveled here to try the pizza. I read an article back in 2017 that it was rated one of the best pizzas in NYC. I told the guys there that I traveled from Virginia and since I was in Manhattan I want to try their pizza because of that article. So I ordered one slice of cheese pizza because my daughter said she was not hungry.... well that changed really quick after she took a bite of my pizza. I went and got another slice and after one bite I also agreed that this was really good pizza and went and ordered two more whole pizzas (one pepperoni) to take with us back to Virginia. I had parchment paper and an extra shoulder bag to carry the pizza in... by the way guys the pizza made it with no problem and still tasted good!! Of course the guys thought I was a little crazy and asked if there are no good pizza makers in Virginia... mostly no unless you find a good place that makes it like this. They should consider opening a pizza restaurant down here!! The guys are friendly, they use the best ingredients to create the pizzas they make, the restaurant is clean and enough seating for normal traffic or you can take it with you (use a pizza box).
