"The neighborhood pizzeria is one of the New York City’s greatest culinary achievements, and the resultant pies prove cheesy, thin-crusted, and especially good when eaten directly out of the oven and not reheated. Originating in Greenwich Village, Joe’s is one of our most fundamental pizza spots, and there’s no better light lunch than a single cheese or pepperoni slice gobbled piping hot. Standing tables and a bench are out front for eating." - Robert Sietsema
