West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District
Just north of Washington Square Park, this is a refreshingly affordable part of Mario Batali’s empire, where thin pizzas are cooked on flat-iron griddles till they crackle. They come topped with items far beyond your standard pizza joint – asparagus, goat's cheese, egg, fresh chilies, capers, the best fresh mozzarella – and sauce that has the perfect balance of smoky and sweet.
When you arrive at 1 Fifth Ave, head around the corner to E 8th St, where you'll find the entrance.
