NY-style & square pies with 3-day fermented dough






















"This stop puts you in proximity to a number of worthy Italian options, likeSotto Le StelleandSoleLuna, but the best pizza in the neighborhood is on the opposite side of the Queens Boulevard Viaduct. Philomena’s is known for their chewy yet crisp sourdough crust, meticulously fermented over the course of three days. The pizzeria’s sturdy, well browned square slices—like the generously jalapeño-topped Dragon Breath—have a devoted following. But we’re all in on their classic yet subtly elevated, extra-cheesy New York-style pies, topped with basil and shaved parm." - Molly Fitzpatrick
"If sitting at a table in the street and eating a crunchy square slice or a chewy neapolitan pie is what you seek, head to Philomena’s. This Sunnyside pizza place is known for its dough, which undergoes an intimidating three-day fermentation process. If you want to try it for yourself, there are three small tables surrounded by a plant-filled patio barricade right in front of the shop, and you can use them from 4 to 9pm daily." - nikko duren
