Pizzeria Fantastica

The 8 Best Restaurants on Governors Island - New York - The Infatuation

"Pizzeria Fantastica makes the best food on the island, and it’s not particularly close. The Neapolitan pizza spot—formerly known as Pizza Yard—cooks their pies out of a brick oven in a small wooden structure, which results in 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 one pizza per hungry adult, and top it simply, like with crispy capocollo or roasted mushrooms." - will hartman, kenny yang
