Pizzeria Fantastica

Pizzeria Fantastica makes the best food on Governors Island, hands down - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"Governors Island is a five-minute ferry ride from Manhattan, and is better known for bike paths and a very fancy spa than it is for great food, but Pizzeria Fantastica is the exception. The Neapolitan pizza spot—formerly known as Pizza Yard—cooks their pies out of a brick oven in a small wooden structure, and the result is a crust that skews more bubbly than puffy, popping with fresh bursts of hot, pizza-flavored air with every bite. The setup is great, too, with tons of picnic tables spread out under tall trees, as well as a giant open field right nearby. Get a margherita pizza, or one topped with thinly sliced capocollo or mushrooms, find a shady picnic table under a tree, and enjoy the best food on the island. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
