Ops

Cool new spot in the East Village! Loved the atmosphere: warm, dimly lit, and perfect for a relaxed evening. The natural wine selection is great, and the pizza was good. I can already picture myself coming back in the winter. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy night out.

Amazing crispy pizza with fabulous toppings - we got the taverna cheese, pops, and mama. Favorites were the pops and taverna. They’re still getting started so the wait time was pretty long for the pizza but totally worth the wait. Amazing selection of natural wine as well. Highly recommend! Reservations recommended. Update: tried the bread and olives and mozzarella. Great appetizers! Also tried the rojo - very yummy. Wished they had extra peppers for a stronger flavor but still delicious.

Ops is a creative & fun new pizzeria in the East Village, with a full kitchen, great bar, and inventive pies. Try the tavernetta - a crispy thin pie cut into squares. The cocktails are reasonably priced and the front lounge makes for a great date spot, while the larger dining room below accommodates groups of 4-6 comfortably. The staff is kind and welcoming, and we had a great time! Thank you Ops!

Incredible pizza and wine list. So glad to have this in the East Village! Do not skip the fritto misto or the Ops salad along with your pizza

Amazing pizza, we got the Iron Age. Service + ambience was great as well

Ops is my favorite place to eat in the city! I’ve been to the Brooklyn location numerous times for birthdays, celebrations, and more. The food and atmosphere never fail me. Thank god for the new location, a lot more accessible for me (and others too hopefully) Note: The wait for the food was a little while, but totally worth it. Be patient for the best pizza around 🎉

As a pizza fanatic, I was curious to try St. Louis style pizza at Ops. Similar but different enough from the excellent Chicago style bar pie at Emmett's on Grove: a big punch of oregano in the sauce and their signature St. Louis "cheese" lol. I prefer Emmett's but this was really good. Super crispy around the edges (not quite as crispy in the middle as it could have been). We also had the frito misto and lasagna, both outstanding. It's not cheap eating here and the wines available by the glass were limited (and $18 for a small pour). Happy to have NYC's first (?) St. Louis style pizza and encourage other pizza fanatics to give it a try. Note that they also have their traditional Neapolitan style pies made famous at their Ridgewood location.

The food including fritto misto di mare and suppli was excellent. The pies were very good, maybe not quite as good as the Bushwick location. The natural wine was excellent (and basically reasonably priced for NYC); the servers were friendly and knowledgable. The issue is that the sound level was brutal. According to my phone (and this was on a Wednesday night) decibels ranged from 70-110. I am not sure that is accurate but it was unpleasantly loud, too loud to have a conversation other than shouting at each other. They need to fix this (acoustic tiles, baffles, rugs etc.) since its otherwise a great new spot.
