Uncle Vinny's Pizza 7.9
Upper East Side-Lenox Hill-Roosevelt Island
Vibes: Late Night Legends Comfort Food Classics Quick Bites Champions Hidden Gems Heaven
Uncle Vinny’s is a newer mom-and-pop shop on First Avenue that has quickly become a go-to for grandma slices, late-night pies, and a broader menu of pastas and wings. With hours that regularly run past midnight and later on weekends, it fills the gap between old-line slice joints and newer comfort-focused spots.
Must-Try Dishes: Grandma Pizza Slice, Grandma Pesto Pizza, Thin-Crust Neapolitan Pie
