"Emmy Squared makes thick, rectangular pies with sauce on top of the cheese (Detroit-style), and the UES location now has outdoor patio in the parking lane in front of their spot on 3rd Avenue. If you don’t want to stress about securing a table, you can always make a reservation for dinner and weekend lunch online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
"Eater tipsters say Emmy Squared’s UES had a three-hour wait." - Serena Dai
"There are very few things that kids, parents, and 25 year-olds can all agree on. Among them is the cuteness of a dog’s chubby belly, the fact that everyone secretly wants to get stuck in Target overnight, and pizza. So it probably won’t surprise you that there’s now an Emmy Squared location on 81st Street and 3rd Avenue, and that it gets extremely busy. If you’re not familiar with Emmy Squared’s pizza, know that it’s served Detroit-style, which means it’s thick, rectangular, and comes with sauce on top of the cheese. The UES pies taste just as soft inside and crusty outside as the Emmy locations in Williamsburg or the East Village (particularly the margherita with burrata on top). The only difference is that there are more eight-year-olds here, and all the adults have done enough parenting for the day to deserve their wine." - Hannah Albertine
"The Upper East Side is the latest recipient of Emmy Squared’s Detroit-style pies with a big following. The mini-chain opens Tuesday with a menu that brings along favorites like pepperoni pizza and that saucy pretzel bun burger, as well as some new dishes such as the Good Paulie pizza with caramelized onions, sausage, and smoked mozzarella, plus waffle fries topped with truffle cream and truffle sausage. The full menu is below. The 1,400-square-foot space seats 78 inside at 1426 Third Avenue at 81st Street, with outdoor space to come. This is the sixth location of Emmy Squared, the Williamsburg-born square pizzeria from Matt Hyland and Emily Hyland. It’s part of a larger expansion plan for the brand that hopes to bring the concept all along the East Coast. The UES location is open Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday." - Stefanie Tuder
