Bleecker Street Pizza

"Highly ranked as one of the greatest pizzerias to grab a slice in the whole of the United States, Bleeker Street Pizza is famous in its own right and in my opinion serves some of the finest speciality pies you can taste. The pizza parlour is run by owners Greg Greenwood and chef Tony Salihaj, who continue the tradition of Greenwood’s late brother Douglas, who opened the restaurant after retiring from the New York Police Department post 9/11. His dream was to run a neighbourhood pizza shop and through his ambition and hard work, in time he turned Bleeker Street Pizza into a roaring success. Bleeker Street is famous for their signature “Nonna Maria” pies, which are named after the owner’s grandmother and created from a secret family recipe using fresh mozzarella, homemade marinara sauce, aged parmigiano-reggiano and fresh basil on a thin Tuscan-style crust. They only use the freshest ingredients and source their premium parmigiano-reggiano cheese direct from Italy, which gives an extraordinary flavour to every slice they create. It’s an excellent spot for a quick bite, the slices are gigantic and toppings are fully loaded onto the exceptional light chewy dough with an airy crispy crust. The family-owned business is a cornerstone of the community serving up crave-worthy pizza. Trust me, one slice will never be enough at Bleeker Street – it’s just too tasty."

"My all-time favorite slice is at Bleecker Street Pizza. $4.00 for the Nona Maria Slice is simply a thing of beauty for me. Topped with generous amounts of Marinara Sauce and Parmagiano Reggiano Cheese (imported from Italy). I've never had a tourist visit there and leave dissapointed. I've included them in many videos, and as an easter egg look for my picture on the wall next to way more famous people. My wife Adriana is a big-time fan of their Chipotle Chicken Slice if you're looking to spice things up a little."

"Recommended to me as the best pizza in NYC by a New Yorker, I had to try the slice of Pepperoni pizza. It was delicious and I would recommend eating here BUT it was not the best pizza I've ever had."
