Vezzo packs a remarkable amount of flavor into ultra-thin, crackly-crust pies that have attracted well over a thousand reviews across platforms. The compact Murray Hill room gets busy at peak hours, but it remains one of the best value sit-down pizza spots in 10016 for sharable pies and a casual night out.

Barbarella Thin-Crust Pizza, Shroomtown Mushroom Pie, Classic Margherita Pizza
Scores:
Value: 8.4

Cultural Relevance: 8.1
What makes it special: Cracker-thin, shareable pies that stay affordable even for groups.
Who should go: Friends or dates wanting thin-crust pizza and wine.
When to visit: Early evening to dodge peak wait times.
What to order: Barbarella pie, Shroomtown, classic Margherita.
Insider tip: Split one classic and one specialty pie to sample the range.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive in the evenings; nearby paid garages on 31st–33rd Streets are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual. Jeans and clean sneakers are common, but many guests dress it up slightly for dates.
Noise level: Moderate to lively — conversation is easy at early dinner, but it gets buzzy once the room fills.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple standout vegetarian pies including Shroomtown and Margherita-style options.
Vegan options: Limited — you can order cheeseless vegetable pies, but there’s no dedicated vegan menu.
Gluten-free options: No — thin crust is the house specialty and there is no gluten-free crust available.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — the cozy room, shareable pies, and wine-friendly menu make it casual but still romantic enough for a low-pressure first date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially on weekdays and early evenings, but expect a wait on Friday and Saturday nights after 6:30pm.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for pizza-loving kids during early dinner hours, though the tight seating and evening crowd skew more adult later at night.
Best For
Better for: Ultra-thin, crackly crust pies that feel lighter and more refined than typical slice shops, plus a strong wine pairing vibe for groups and dates.
Skip if: You’re craving thick-crust, Sicilian-style pizza, gluten-free options, or a quiet, spacious dining room.
