The true Little Italy of New York is in the Bronx. Take a stroll down Arthur Ave, visit over 100 years old Madonia Bakery, have pizza in Zero Otto Nove, shop grocery in the Arthur Avenue Retail Market and have a beer in the Bronx Beer Hall that is located inside. Cin Cin!

This was the best slice of pizza we've ever had (of that style of pizza, we don't want to offend any Italians!)Almost caramelized, super crunchy, lots of flavor!This one was a Hot Soppressata with honey pizza.

This might be my favorite square in Queens. My favorite pizza here is the “grandma” slice or pie.If Louie’s were in Manhattan, it would have press out the wazoo and lines down the block, but it’s in a part of Queens better known for amazing Thai food, so it flies somewhat under the radar. My favorite pizza here is the “grandma” slice or pie. Get a pie, so you have some to take home with you (it freezes well and reheats even better). This might be my favorite square in Queens. Louie also serves an array of non-pizza dishes, which admittedly I haven’t explored that much, but I’ve heard the ribeye steak is a sleeper hit here.

A Brooklyn institution for good reason with tremendous Sicilian pies.When it's the summer and you're fresh from a dip in Coney Island, when it's the winter and you need comfort, the pies at L&B are unbeatable. We're a pizza city but I haven't found anything that beats the pillowy dough, the sweet tomato sauce and the mozz of a classic Sicilian square at L&B. (During the summer, the move is to sit outside with your pizza then order the Italian ice. During the colder months, the newly remodeled dining room is plenty welcoming.)

My favorite tomato pie in the city. A NYC slice joint with a twist.Fini Pizza in Williamsburg is owned by Sean Feeney and is just awesome in many ways. It’s your NYC slice joint, but with a twist. They’re not trying to be fancy or innovative, just delicious and New York proud. Their tomato pie is the best in the city.
