John's of Bleecker Street

"John’s of Bleecker Street was the worth the visit. My wife was very impressed and understood why John’s is on of the best pizza shops in the world. The pizza and zucchini sticks were both excellent. The pizza is perfect in every way from the dough to the sauce and cheese. We will definitely comeback on our next trip to NYC from Seoul."

"Visiting from out of town so take the review with a grain of salt. First I have to say the restaurant is a cool atmosphere, love the seating, coziness, and older feel. Service was really good and despite having no tables ready we were not rushed in any of the ordering, eating, or leaving process. We ordered the original pie and tried to order the meatball sandwich but they were our of bread so we settled for the meatball dish. Meatballs were pretty good. They were dense in a red sauce with melted mozzarella. They were good but wouldn’t necessarily tell another visitor they HAD to get the meatballs. I’d say the pizza was def better than the meatballs. The crust was thin and crisp on the bottom. Lots of cheese but the integrity of the crust allows the pizza not to flop over. The sauce was on the acidic side for me but I think that’s telling of the freshness. It was very cool to watch them making pizzas right in front of you. Overall good experience; I’d say if you’re in the area great choice but I’ll explore others on the future. Thank you!"

"Definitely the best pizza I’ve had in new york. It comes the closest to New Haven style that I’ve been able to find in the city. Its worth waiting in line 30-45 minutes for this pizza. We waited 45 minutes today… normally would never wait on line for food but we heard so many good things so we finally went for it. We were not disappointed. The caesar salad appetizer came out very quickly and it was fresh and delicious. The pizza itself came out pretty fast too within like 15 minutes of ordering. The plain cheese slice was amazing and so was the sausage half of the pizza. I didn’t love the “golden ale” that they had on offer as it was kind of flat almost like an English cask ale. Other than that we really enjoyed everything. They take credit cards which is great. Sit inside if you can because the inside is very historic-feeling with the oldschool wooden booths…"

"Some say this is the best pizza in NYC, it's certainly one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. Super thin crust, delicious oozy cheese, rich toppings that absolutely melt in your mouth. Yes, the line outside is long, but it moves fast as possible. Yes it's crowded inside, but how else you gonna fit everybody? This place is iconic for a reason. It tastes, smells and feels like New York City, so stick it in your pie hole and have a good time damn it... Lol"

"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."
