Harlem's best pizza
The 314 pizza with pepperoni and hot honey at Bar 314.

Harlem's top pizza spots have adapted with the times, and all now offer easy delivery—even 89-year-old Patsy's, which still uses a coal-fired oven—either through a delivery platform or via their own websites.


Here, then, is a list of TCU's favorites, serving up everything from bubbling Neapolitan pies to old-fashioned Grandma squares, and the best way to order.


From south to north:


Patsy's Pizzeria

East Harlem 2287 First Ave between E 117th and E 118th Sts, 212-534-9783

When they say classic they mean it: This East Harlem original has been making thin-crust pizzas in its coal-fired oven since 1933. Adapting with the times, Patsy's is now available for delivery via Uber Eats.


Sottocasa Harlem

Central Harlem 227 Malcolm X Blvd between W 121st and W 122nd Sts, 646-928-4870

Slinging one of Harlem's best Neapolitan pies—made in a wood-fired oven and featuring a chewy, bubbly crust—this pizzeria features 20-plus varieties, all of which can be ordered directly on their website.


Bar 314

Morningside Heights 3143 Broadway between La Salle St and Tiemann Pl, 646-682-7645

This sister restaurant to Babbalucci (see below) offers a long list of creative pies, both red and white (try the 314 pizza with pepperoni, mozzarella, gorgonzola and hot honey). Place an order for delivery via Slice.

Harlem's Best Pizza: Stay-at-Home Edition

Dado's Pizza

Central Harlem 341 St. Nicholas Ave between W 127th and W 128th Sts

Dado's thin-crust pies are made with dough fermented over a few days to develop flavor. The toppings lean toward the traditional: pepperoni, white, broccoli rabe & sausage, vodka, and, of course, classic cheese.


Uncle Tony's Pizza

Hamilton Heights 1596 Amsterdam between W 138th and W 139th Sts, 212-690-7500
