"Opened by the Piscopo family in 1942, this classic, cash-only New York pizza joint continues to be run by the family 80 years later. The wood-paneled front dining room, plastered with decades of Yankees memorabilia, looks as if it hasn’t changed in years — and that’s precisely the way Johnny’s customers, many of whom have been coming to the pizzeria for generations, like it. Behind the counter, rounds of dough are stretched into impossibly thin pies shingled with cheese, followed by spoonfuls of sauce and a drizzle of oil. The charred pies are so crisp that slices don’t flop, and true acolytes know the only way to eat one is straight from the oven at the pizzeria." - Samantha Garbarini
