Muzzarella Pizza
221 Ave. A #2, East Village, NY
Muzzarella has long been an Immaculate Infatuation favorite. We’ve been coming here for years, and even though it’s not the most consistent when it comes to quality, we keep coming back. Why? When Muzzarella is good, it’s damn good. The whole pies usually deliver really well, and their chicken, tomato, and onion slice is one of our favorite things in the entire city. The standard cheese slice is solid, though could use a little more crisp on the crust and the lasagna slice is a unique offering and cult favorite. Yes, it’s true that Muzzarella is a grimy hole in the wall, and yes, we’ve seen rodents out front so big that they could operate the cash register, but that chicken slice at 2am is really hard to beat.
Food Rundown:
Regular Slice
This isn’t one of the best slices in the city, but it’s more than respectable. As noted above, it could use a little more crunch.
Chicken, Tomato, and Onion Slice
Breaded chicken combined with large chunks of tomato and white onion. When this guy comes fresh out of the oven, there’s nothing better.
Lasagna Slice
A popular option at Muzzarella, this comes with well seasoned ground beef, ricotta cheese, and tomato sauce. Very good, and not something you see too often.
Ground Beef Slice
A heaping slice loaded with chunks of ground beef, tomato, onion and green peppers, this is quite a meal. When relatively fresh, this makes for a glorious option. However, if it’s been sitting for too long, it can be downright inedible.
