Katie's Top 5 Local Pizza Places

/

I love pizza! It is hands down my favorite food and I have had my fair share, so I feel confident in offering you 5 places to check out next time the craving hits! I have to admit, my go to order is just straight up pepperoni, but I do get adventurous and try new things to keep life interesting! Here we go…

  1. Moon River: This Murray Hill gem is a staple! You must go! My favorite pizza is the T-Rex, and as you may have guessed, it’s a great choice if you’re a meat eater.  I have had lots of “meat lovers” pizzas thanks to my husband, Bradley, and it’s a winner!

  2. Crispy’s: Good ‘ol Crispy’s! You’ll feel right at home when you stop in at Crispy’s. The pizzas are even named after the surrounding streets! I’d suggest trying the Silver pizza. Gorgonzola and goat cheese? Yes, please!!! It’s Crispy’s spin on a white pizza and it’s top notch!

  3. V Pizza: Did you know V Pizza serves authentic Neapolitan pizza? Me neither!! I just knew I really liked it! This taste of Italy includes cheese from a buffalo, burn marks on the crust, and typically is not perfectly round. Fun facts! Next time you go, be sure to order the Pizza Margherita-Classico, and don’t forget their signature wings! So good!!!

  4. Carmines: Try something new at Carmines! Have you ever had Chicago stuffed pizza? We often think of deep dish pizza from Chicago, but this is a little different. Any toppings will do, but you’ve got to try it! This style pizza can take a little longer to cook, but not to worry! Carmines has a fun eclectic atmosphere that will keep you entertained. 

  5. Al’s: Ok, so I’ll be honest, this isn’t my top choice for pizza, BUT did you know about Thirsty Thursday??? Order yourself the Italian pizza (it is delicious) and then enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine for $1.50!!! Yes, you read that right…one dollar and fifty cents! This is why Al’s makes my list. 

I hope your mouth is watering and you’re ready to grab some pizza! Take a pic and tag me and Root Realty next time you go to one of these spots! Make this pizza lover proud! Enjoy!
