Joe & Pat's NYC

The Most Classic Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"In case you live under a rock (Manhattan) and only know about the East Village location of Joe & Pat’s, here’s a history lesson. Long before the First Avenue Joe & Pat’s came the Staten Island original. The year was 1960, which means they spent over half a century perfecting their thin crust pies in Castleton Corners before hopping across the water. So for a crash course in Staten Island pizza—some of the best in any borough—you should go straight to the source. The crusts are so thin it’s easy to finish a couple of pizzas, so add the caesar salad pie, which will make you a certified salad-on-pizza fan. Vodka pie, plain pie, caesar salad pie" - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
