"What It Is: The new East Village location of one of our favorite pizza spots in the city Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, First/Early In The Game Dates The original Emmy Squared in Williamsburg serves some of the best pizza and burgers in NYC. So we checked out this new location in the East Village on one of the first nights it was open. The menu of Detroit-style pies here is mostly the same, and the Big Matt burger and spicy pepperoni pizza - two of our favorite things at the original - were both good, though the pizza was a little sauce-heavy. The best dish we had was the only new menu addition, an Indian-inspired white pizza topped with cauliflower and served with some really good tamarind sauce on the side. If you go, try to make a reservation. The Verdict: An exciting addition to the East Village. We’ve added it to our Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
"The Detroit-style pizza at Emmy Squared is the kind of thing you’ll be making plans to eat again before you even leave the restaurant. The East Village location has lots of space, so there’s a decent chance of walking in and getting a table without too much of a wait. Come here and split a few pizzas (we like the Emmy and the Colony²). You won’t end up dropping a ton of money on dinner with your cousin and her new boyfriend." - hannah albertine
"Eating light and puffy pies in comfortable, roomy booths is an excellent group activity. Emmy Squared serves up Detroit-style pizza, which consists of thick square pies with crispy edges and sauces on top, including favorites like the tiny pepperoni-covered Roni Supreme. While Emmy Squared’s Williamsburg location was mobbed at opening, the East Village outpost has been more chill. Reserve for up to six people online." - Stefanie Tuder
