Lil’ Frankies
19 1st Ave., East Village, NYThis one has been a long time coming. Show of hands. Who out there has not been to Lil’ Frankies? No one. That’s what I thought. If you’re a resident of downtown Manhattan, you’ve most likely enjoyed a meal at Frankies at some point over the last decade. The youngest child of the Frank restaurant [...]

Forcella (Bowery)
344 Bowery, East Village, NYPizza is in a funny place these days. With the exception of Artichoke, very few new generation parlors go the slice route, despite the fact there’s obviously a big demand. For the current crop of dough freaks, it’s all about finding new school ways of cooking an old school pie and one-upping each other. After [...]

Co.
290 9th Ave., Chelsea, NYCo. (aka Company) is the hip, quasi-new addition to the Sullivan St. Bakery monopoly, and features a more complete menu than other next level pizza-throbs like Motorino and Keste.

Celeste
502 Amsterdam Ave., Upper West Side, NYThis old school red sauce Southern Italian trattoria has been an UWS neighborhood staple for years. The food is definitely good and very well priced for the area, but the real reason you’re coming to Celeste is to spend some quality time with the owner. Welcome to the Carmine show people. You know his type. [...]

Muzzarella Pizza
221 Ave. A #2, East Village, NYMuzzarella 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.

Eataly: La Pizza & Pasta
200 5th Ave., Flatiron, NYWe’re finally getting around to an Infatuation assessment of Eataly, and we’re going to approach this by posting about each individual restaurant, rather than rating Eataly on the whole. Why? Because if we rated it as a single entity, we would be telling you to stay away from this place at all f*cking costs. But [...]

Don Antonio
309 W. 50th St., Hell's Kitchen, NYWe’ve been debating the city’s pizza quite a bit these days, and a handful of visits to Don Antonio have been part of the process – especially after seeing NY Mag put it in their “Best of New York” issue recently. How bold. The restaurant is a joint venture from one of the guys that [...]

Artichoke
328 E 14th St., East Village, NYCome on people, this is completely out of control. It’s Thursday night at 2:30am and there’s a line forty deep for a slice of pizza? That’s just stupid.

Olio Pizza e Piu
3 Greenwich Ave., West Village, NYWow. What a disaster. We had heard mixed things about Olio Pizza e Piu from early online write-ups, but guess where we didn’t find any mixed opinions – inside the restaurant. This was one of the worst meals we’ve had in recent memory, and it wasn’t just us. The group sitting directly behind our table [...]
