99¢ Delicious Pizza

"What started as a semi-secret pop-up between two college friends from New York now consistently makes some of the best pizza in the city. The crust has that nice little snap when you fold it, and the toppings never overwhelm the simplicity of the red sauce. You can order by the slice, but it’s also imperative that you get their excellent margherita, which only comes as a whole pie. Look for a rotating list of specials, too, like the roasted cauliflower, hot coppa with caramelized onions, or rosemary potato with spicy bechamel. And don’t forget to pick up a salted chocolate chip cookie for dessert." - Chelsea Brasted

"Pick up a couple slices at 99¢ Delicious Pizza on W. 35th Street and 7th Avenue—or any other lowkey dollar pizza joint you find along the way—and snarf it down as you stand in awe of the nearby Empire State Building."

"Delicious Pizza is great for a quick NY-style slice during the day, but we like this unassuming pizzeria best around dinnertime. That’s when you can grab a table, order a whole pie, and take in the golden era hip-hop memorabilia lining the walls. The entire place feels like a museum exhibit dedicated to rap music, and since the owners run the record label that put J Dilla on the map, it kind of is. Bring a group of friends or a date who appreciates naturally fermented dough, fresh mozzarella, and a good Kendrick Lamar playlist. " - Nikko Duren
