The pizza here is delicious. I recommend coming here with a small group and sharing a few different pies to try the most toppings, although their ricotta is my favorite.

Mike Singleton

Authentic , original pizza . If you see a line outside don't be scared away, it's about 15 minutes for every 10 people. Also look out for the signed Pete Rose jersey!

I'm a native New Yorker & incredibly snobby about pizza . BELIEVE THE HYPE, this place is great!You won't need it, but don't be afraid to ask for some Parm (not on the table). Only fail? Nast bathrooms

Sol

Classic pies in a grungy setting. Great for a casual night with friends. Try to avoid the tourists by going on a weeknight.

James

John's gets their meat toppings fresh from Faicco's, the Italian butcher down the block. Get sausage pizza here, trust me.

Neha Ratti

Absolutely my favorite pizza place in NYC. Great service and the quality of their food is consistent and great. I like this better than Grimaldi 's.

Celena Chan

Absolutely delicious thin crust pizza . We ordered a salad and one pie for two people and had the pie split in half w/ two different combos. Everyone gets what they want!

JP Obando

Great service! Simple menu! Just get the pizza , no matter what. Pitchers of beer for $22. And worth the wait if there’s a line . Best pie pizza in town !

Jonathan Faccento

Cheese slice 8.8, meatball 9.0. Tastes like Joe's but with better sauce. They don't serve slices, which meant I almost ate the entire pie. Was in and out before the dinner rush, great pizza .

Francis Alvarez

The traditional and the boom, both lacks on flavor (roasted tomatoes are very good), the meat lovers pie has the flavor but’s nothing extraordinary Will recommend if u hungry, close n there’s no line .

Louis Matta

Classic pizza place . If you're a one-slicer type of person this is not your jam . No slices all pies, but one bite and you won't regret it.

Cole Kennedy

It has a reputation for being the best for a reason. (Note that I'm not saying it's the best, because choosing the best pizza in New York is a fool's errand.)

Benton Yetman

Simple cheese pizza + Caesar salad + carafe of red wine = perfection!

Patrick Lawson

Definitely worth a visit. Watch them make your pizza in front of you and fire it off. Delicious.

Marc Mayer

Real solid pizza . Sometimes it takes a bit for your pie to come out, but it's a million times better than any instant gratification dollar slice joint. Patience is a virtue. Especially with pizza .

Stephen Gates

If you look up NYC pizza in the dictionary there is a picture of John's Pizza . Be sure to try the coal fired pizza and the sausage sandwich .

Destination: Anywhere & Everywhere

While I love all the toppings keeping it simple is the way to go you get to taste the flavors on a crispy slice (sometimes the everything pizza turns soggy)

Doroulini

Freshly baked pizza ! We ordered the large pepperoni and it was amazing! Old classic decoration.

Meela Dudley

First time trying the "best pizza in NYC ," apparently going at 10 pm on the fourth of July is the best way to beat the "crazy" lines . No AC , sit at a table with a fan. Seriously is the best pizza .

Daniel Wiegand

Fantastic Pizza 🍕 - my #1 spot in NYC. You can get each pizza half/half.

Carlos Russo

Seriously can't miss John's of Bleecker. Amazing and authentic NY pizza . One of our favorite spots in the city .

Katy Verhoeven

Pizza made in stone brick oven , was one of the best I ever had, good music , greate ambiance, cool pictures of famous people who come there

Nabil Bazzari

Woooow....amaaaazing pizza ... yummy pepperoni pizza + get the meatballs with tomato sauce . Must try if in NY

Elizabeth

There is a reason it is always named as one of the best pizza places . It's crowded though so come early or expect to wait. They only take cash.

Renee T

Our favorite spot for a slice. Coal-fired-brick-oven-cheese-&-sausage-light-­sauce. Yum!! Line out the door moves quickly, so get in it.

FoodtoEat

Some of the best pizza in the Big Apple! Stick with the classic cheese pie , with heavenly margarita sauce! Cash only though, but that's how they keep their prices down!

New York Post

Lou Reed's partner Laurie Anderson tells us he liked the Margherita here. "When you use the right mozzarella , it’s amazing." Read more

Buford Barnes

Established 1929 and continuously operated. One of the only coal pizza ovens in NYC. As a friend who grew up nearby says, "they have a talent for making burnt pizza and flat cola taste magical."

Tim Vetter

One of the few remaining NYC coal oven pizzerias (along with Patsy's & Totonno), where the burn, at 200 Fahrenheit higher than a wood oven , contributes a very special character to the crust. Read more

Howcast

Margherita pizza is simple, delicious, and easy to make! Just pick up a few ingredients and you can make your own right at home! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tFCtiQbAKg Read more

Carol

Always a line , but it’s overhyped. If you wanna try it, make sure you know which way the line goes. Someone randomly followed our group to the side and the poor guy lost his spot in the real line

Joseph Stahl

Absolutely great pizza . Crust is fantastic and ingredients are high quality. Try to sit in the side room to watch your pizza being made.

Aviv Gadot

Amazing crust and great toppings. One of the best thin pizzas in the city

New York Habitat

Brick oven cheesiness. Another one of NYC's best spots to get a pizza . They don't do slices so either come here with some friends or be prepared to eat an entire pie by yourself!

Harish Hoon

Simple and fresh. I know people come from all over the world to try pizza in New York City . They often go to Lombardi's but should really come here instead!

Jarel Hill

So good! Classic ny slice. Ricotta with basil was my favorite. Meatball was second then pepperoni

Best pizza in NYC !! I’ve been here a long time ago and came back today. Pizza still tastes as good as I remember!

Elisa

Lineup is worth it, waited about 20-30m during peak time. You can also order to go. Margherita so good. Meatballs are decent but nothing special.

Village Voice

Get the black olive and sausage pie-The loamy fennel sausage is freshly made , the tomatoes bright tasting, the canned olives saline, and all the flavors come together deliciously!

Antonella

Might be the best pizza in NYC . Going with original classic pizza . Skip the toppings.

Justin Myers

Awesome hole-in-the-wall pizza joint in the West Village . Bring cash.

Andrew Parke

BEST PIZZA IN NYC - Always get the roasted tomatoes , best topping

Mathieu Vincelette

Best pie on Bleeker! Try it with any topping you like. The also have yuengling.

FoodSherpas.com

Considered by many to be the best pizza in New York, making it's case to be one of the best on the planet! TIP: No slices available at John's, so bring your appetite.

Roger R

Awesome!! Worth the wait for sure...iconic NY pizza spot !

Tanner Smith

Good pizza and a unique style.

sean

You can watch tourists wait in line for this place across the street from Keste which actually has pretty great pizzas and salads .

Julie N

One of the best pizza joints in NYC. They don't take reservations , but worth the wait.
