Creative pies with unique toppings like corn and everything bagel
"I expected exceptional pizza from Wylie Dufresne and Stretch delivers with slow-fermented dough and vibrant, sometimes unconventional toppings; the pies range from classic to creative (my favorite is the Stranger with fennel sausage and roasted peppers), and the crust is more like a light, airy focaccia than a thin crust — pizzas are available whole or by the slice at locations in the Flatiron District, Midtown East, and Williamsburg." - Amelia Schwartz
"Williamsburg is one of the strongest slice shop neighborhoods we have in New York, and it just got stronger with Stretch Pizza’s second location. The shop comes from fine dining chef Wylie Dufresne of wd~50 fame, and this location is right on the East River. Grab a cheese pie, or something more out there, like their everything bagel pizza, and bring it to a Domino Park picnic." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"With its tiled floors, high ceilings, and tidy, cushioned booths, Stretch looks like a slightly nicer version of your average pizza parlor. But this isn’t where you go for a plain cheese pie. The toppings here include pickled shallots and whipped pineapple ricotta. The Old Town, accessorized with garlic cream, is a wonderful vegetarian option, and the crust on all the pies is perfectly chewy and crisp." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
"Stretch Pizza, the Manhattan partnership between Wylie Dufresne (formerly of wd~50 and Du’s Donuts), and Breads Bakery, opened in 2023 and is known for its innovative pie flavors like al pastor or shallots roasted, pickled, and fried. In a video by Eater, Dufresne said he pulls inspiration from everywhere including Goodfellas, the Flatiron District’s Old Town Bar, and halal carts." - Melissa McCart
"A slice concept from chef Wylie Dufresne and Breads Bakery owner Gadi Peleg is turning its pop-up into a permanent offering. The slice shop debuted in early December 2024 alongside the pizza restaurant at 331 Park Avenue South (at East 24th Street); the menu includes standard slices as well as fancy ones. As part of the change, the decadent truffle slice has been swapped out for a new sausage-onion-hot date syrup." - Nadia Chaudhury
