"This stop puts you in proximity to a number of worthy Italian options, likeSotto Le StelleandSoleLuna, but the best pizza in the neighborhood is on the opposite side of the Queens Boulevard Viaduct. Philomena’s is known for their chewy yet crisp sourdough crust, meticulously fermented over the course of three days. The pizzeria’s sturdy, well browned square slices—like the generously jalapeño-topped Dragon Breath—have a devoted following. But we’re all in on their classic yet subtly elevated, extra-cheesy New York-style pies, topped with basil and shaved parm." - Molly Fitzpatrick
