Hi Heather! I love your blog and always refer to it when I need to know where to go in nyc. Just to add to your wonderful list of best pizzerias in nyc, I happened to have stumbled upon this east village pizzeria called, “Veloce Pizzeria”, amazing. I never had pizza like this before, where I can actually finish the crust. They serve up cool square pan sicilian-style pizzas. The food there was delicious, I could swear it was home cookin’, fresh and simple. They also have an all-Italian eclectic wine list. Pizza and good wine at a very reasonable price. Who could ever grow tired of this?

Hey Nicole, we’ve been there! I think they opened a few years ago, don’t quote me on that, but if they recently opened, the pizzeria sure looks like it has been around for a long time. Veloce Pizzeria is great!! Great Italian menu, great service, great wines, great price, great ambiance. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!
