John's of Bleecker Street

“I’m going to the Mecca” is an all too common phrase for out of towners going to a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. Which is a fair statement for such a legendary venue. However, the 2nd Mecca in NYC is John’s of Blecker, which lives to and exceeds all expectations. This is a legendary pie and for good reason. The flop is non existent and the char is beautiful. Toppings were fresh and the ambiance can’t be beat. Best pie these taste buds have ever encountered and cannot recommend John’s enough. Must stop when visiting the most iconic city our great country has to offer.

Little spice and everything nice. Must stop when in the village.

Might come as a bit of a surprise, but this is not my type of pizza. It’s thin, but not crunchy. The cheese was the best part of this pizza. The sauce was very sweet, too sweet imo. Similar to DeLorenzo’s in Robinsville and Pepe’s; I think it fell right in between both of those spots, which is why I gave it an 8.4. Second best I’ve had in NYC so far behind Lazarra’s in midtown

Great pizza. Great char on the crust, excellent sauce, awesome stringy mozzarella. Ordered John’s Original (tomato sauce and mozzarella), and a pizza Margherita. Would not give the edge to either one. Both excellent. Really awesome place inside too.

Excellent! Great under carriage!

Best za I’ve ever had!

Probably one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had

very overrated, good slice but nothing special. cheese is really good tho

Amazing pizza. Best jn NYC. Can’t argue. Best I’ve had outside of Moose’s Saloon.

Sweet Baby John’s, the sauce is the boss! Best crust in the city. Got the cheese pie well done.

Forgot to take the picture bc I was so excited to try this, pic is just leftovers. Def great pizza, quality ingredients, great snap on the crust, everything was real good. Just got caught up in the hype and it let me down a bit. Not life changing pizza

A must try if visiting NY but hard to score. More Neapolitan vibe than I thought it would be, meaning despite the perfectly charred undercarriage and crispy ends, the dough was soft and chewy. Very comparable to Modern in New Haven. The toppings we got on half (cherry peppers, pepperoni, basil) were nothing special, but the sweet sauce, flavorful cheese, and fresh crust were all perfect, and the vibe inside and our waiter were exactly what you want in an old school Manhattan wheel joint. I wanted to give in the 9s but the flop and mid toppings prevented it. But this is being picky… it’s a top 10 NYC spot and I won’t argue with anyone who says it’s their favorite.
