Motorino Pizza

"Open since 2016, the Upper West Side Motorino is switching from making pizzas in a brick oven to gas — after years of conflict with the neighbors, who complained about the chimney smoke. The owner Mathieu Palombino told the New York Post the switch “should help alleviate the smoke in the coming weeks.” Gothamist reported that Palombino had been trying to ameliorate the effects of the smoke since 2021, but it apparently wasn’t enough for neighbors." - Melissa McCart

"All three Motorino locations—East Village, Williamsburg, and Upper West Side—are open for takeout and delivery. That gives you three places to order a Neapolitan-style soppressata piccante pizza for dinner tonight (or any other day of the week until 10:30pm)." - team infatuation

"Motorino is a great option for when you’d like to have Neapolitan pizza, but you don’t want to order in because you need to spend time in a place that isn’t your home or office. The UWS location on Columbus Avenue set up a nice outdoor dining area in their parking lane space with a bunch of marble tables." - hannah albertine

"There are a few Motorinos around the city, and they all make top-notch Neapolitan pizzas. The UWS location is a perfectly nice space with a bunch of little marble tables, and it’s great for when you’d like to have to have pizza, but you don’t want to order in because you need to spend time in a place that isn’t your home or office. They don’t take reservations, but you can always just grab a beer at E’s Bar if there’s a wait." - bryan kim
