The Ultimate NYC Pizza Ranking: From Worst to Best!
In our latest video, “I Ranked Every NYC Pizza From Worst To Best!”, we take you on a tasty journey through the Big Apple’s iconic pizza scene across all five boroughs—Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn. Sponsored by GoDaddy, we dive right in, showcasing remarkable slices and unforgettable flavors, all while highlighting the local pizza experts who join me at each stop!
First up, we hit Manhattan, starting with the ever-popular Joe’s Pizza. Joined by local pizza aficionado Evan, we critique the classic “regular cheese” slice. While Joe’s holds a special place for tourists, Evan likens it to the “pumpkin spice latte of pizza”—basic but reliable. We scored it a solid 6.0, setting the bar for our remaining contenders.
Next, we ventured to Mama’s 2, where the wait was long but the flavors were off the charts. Sharing a unique square slice known as the Angry Nona, we marveled at its sweet and savory combination, ultimately awarding it a commendable 8.5.
Fast forward to our Staten Island adventures, where rapper and producer Uncommon Nasa championed local favorites like Denino’s and Joan Pats. The friendly rivalry between Staten Island and Brooklyn lived on as we sampled Nona’s, which Nasa described as the best slice in town. Scoring it an impressive 8.7, it was clear Staten Island wasn’t backing down!
Queen’s pizza scene was equally vibrant, led by our local expert Greg. We kicked things off at Rosario’s, where the homemade mozzarella stole the show, earning a high score of 9.1. Another must-try, Manos Pizzeria, brought a unique twist with its chicken cutlet slice, winning over hearts with a score of 9.3.
As we made our way to the Bronx, newcomer James the Camera Guy joined the action, savoring the quirky yet delicious offerings at Pugsley. The rich flavors of their pepper vodka pizza scored an 8.8, highlighting the Bronx’s underrated pizza scene.
Finally, we landed in Brooklyn, where our co-host Joey Nenina took us to beloved spots including L&B Spumoni Gardens and the renowned Dafara. Amid the nostalgia, Giovanna’s charming pizzeria, Luigi’s, topped our list with a stellar score of 9.2, but the reigning champion turned out to be La Industry from Manhattan with a commanding 9.5.
