Pizza Pete's 7.7
Upper West Side (Central)
Pizza Pete's is a no-frills corner shop a few blocks off the park where thin, New York–style pies, Sicilian squares, and Chicago-style pans all come out of the same well-worn ovens. Locals lean on it for affordable slices, garlic knots, and big pies for game nights or casual group dinners.
