Everyone wants to find the perfect, New York City pizza slice when they’re visiting the Big Apple. It can be quite tough to find “the one” – that one pizza slice that wins above all the rest. We did a little research before our most recent visit, and managed to find what I believe to be the best pizza slice in New York.

My favourite pizza slice in New York City is a pepperoni or plain cheese slice from Joe’s Pizza on Carmine Street in Greenwich Village.

Joe’s certainly isn’t a secret. The pizzeria is an institution among New Yorkers, tourists and celebrities alike. But it’s true what they advertise – Joe’s Pizza serves up the best pizza in New York. Once you have your slice, make sure you fold it in half and eat it over a paper plate because well… that’s how it’s done. You can also take your slice(s) across the street and enjoy on a park bench with the pigeons and other pizza lovers in Father Demo Square. It’s cheese-y, tomato-y, dough-y delicious New York pizza in the perfect New York setting.

I’m telling you… embrace the grease. Just do it.
