What is the best pizza in New York City?
Our editorial team currently ranks Lucali as the best pizza in New York City, New York. Lucali's pies arrive blistered and elegantly restrained — a thin, supple crust with the faintest tang of fermentation, sauce that tastes of sun-ripened plum tomatoes, and a quiet draping of fresh mozzarella. There is no flourish, no spectacle. There doesn't need to be. Every pie that crosses the marble is the same pie, night after night, and that consistency is the rarest thing in pizza.
