There are few things as controversial in New York as the question of where to get the best pizza? Now the travel site Condé Nast Traveler has compiled a list of the locals’ favorite pizza places, and the results show that the best slices are often found far from the main tourist areas.
For many New Yorkers, the atmosphere and the neighborhood are almost as important as the pizza itself.
Among the places that locals especially recommend is Mama’s Too on the Upper West Side. The place has attracted a lot of attention for its thick Roman pizza. Then can Scarr’s Pizza on the Lower East Side is highly praised for its classic New York pizza with a crispy crust and the spicy honey that is hugely popular today.

One of the most well-known places on the list, however, is without a doubt Lucali in Brooklyn. There are regularly long queues, but the place is very popular and almost legendary.
Then there are two places known for Detroit-style pies, but they are thick and box-shaped pizzas, and they are called Ace’s Pizza and Turbo Pizza.
For those who prefer a quieter atmosphere, it is recommended to visit places like Ops, where sourdough pizza and natural wine go together. Sofia Wine Bar is also popular, but that place is known for its Diavolo pizza with awesome Burrata cheese.
You can get awesome pies in many places in the city, and locals say the best places are the small neighborhood pizzerias that people visit again and again.
