Patsy's Pizza
In the city's Midtown East neighborhood, there is a well-known pizza restaurant called Patsy's Pizzeria. Having been in the same place for 75 years as of 2008, Patsy's Pizzeria. This longevity can be attributed to Patsy's consistently producing tasty pizza with flawless service in a warm and welcoming setting.
Even though Patsy's serves a variety of traditional Italian dishes, the restaurant is best known for its pizza, so visitors would be missing out if they didn't order one of the well-known pies. With its customary thin crust, tomato, mozzarella, and basil, the traditional margherita pizza is a favorite among diners. Also popular are Patsy's pizza alla vodka, which has a creamy house vodka sauce on top, and the bolognese with meat sauce.
This pizza resembles the images that appear when you search for "NYC pizza" on Google. However, calling it ordinary would be completely incorrect. This East Harlem restaurant boasts that it invented the idea of selling pizza by the slice in the 1930s. It bakes its pizza in a coal oven, giving each slice a noticeable blackened char. However, if you visit the original East Harlem location, it makes no difference if you order a whole pie or just a slice at the counter. What does matter is that you’ll need to order the plain – it’s thin and soft but holds up the bright red sauce and big circles of mozzarella cheese, and it’s the reason you’re coming to Patsy’s.
