Kudos to NYU Local for a recent piece reviewing the best pizzerias near the NYU campus. There are dozens of them around and it can be overwhelming for a new student to pinpoint where to grab a slice on the way home from the bar. Of course any pizza list is bound to evoke emotions (check out the comments section), but at least the list serves as a decent introduction for a newcomer to the NYC pizza scene. For example:
Artichoke: This popular pizza place might always
have a line down the block, but for good reason.
have a line down the block, but for good reason.
Vs.
Cafe Amore: There might be some health
code violations. Go at your own risk.
This is important information to know! Nevertheless, if I remember correctly, I wasn't too concerned with where to grab a great slice as an undergrad at NYU... so long as I was eating pizza. As I told The New York Times earlier this year:
“I don’t think a drunk college student cares about whether there’s San Marzano tomatoes on their slice."

Hi Jason--
just wanted to highlight another great pizzeria near NYU -- Pizza Mezzaluna at 146 W Houston St (@MacDougal) -- it's my husband's (Francesco Vitale) place so of course I'm biased -- He's from Salerno Italy and has been a pizzaiolo for a little over 20 years -- worked at the UES Mezzaluna for years when he first came to NYC (he's been in NY about 13 years)--anyway, we're not so good at marketing the place but Ed Levine from Slice.com came over about a year ago and gave it thumbs up -- come over sometime and have a pizza -- Francesco mans the oven all day Wed-Sat and lunchtime on Mon and Tues -- hope to see you around -- yeah pizza!!
