You can never go wrong ordering a Margherita or marinara at any of them.įinally, this is a very close competition. Two more things to bear in mind: No pizzeria got onto this list if the quality of all the pies wasn’t very high. I’ve never put slices on this list before but I had to change the rules when confronted with the squares at Taglio in Mineola and King Umberto’s in Elmont.
Pizza Rita is bringing classic Neapolitan pies to Mattituck, Donatina in Patchogue makes Neapolitan pies as well as Detroit and classic New York pies. Of the pizzerias that have fallen off the list, some have closed (Brunetti in Westhampton Beach is supposed to reopen in a new location in the spring) and some have let their standards slip.īut the big news for 2019 is the number of newcomers on the list: four out of 10. But it’s a doozy, and has once again snared the top spot. Of the 10 pies on our original 2012 list, only one remains. And to fans of wackadoo pizza toppings, I say this: judging a pie based on its toppings is like picking a Miss America based on her swimsuit. They are going above and beyond with their sourcing of ingredients, with their carefully wrought toppings and, most of all, with their crusts.Ī great crust is the sine qua non of great pizza without it you might as well put the toppings on an English muffin or a flour tortilla. The pizzerias on this list warrant a trip from anywhere else on the Island.
This list does not include those pies.Ĭhoosing among them would be a fool's errand: the whole point of a neighborhood pizzeria is that it is in your neighborhood, a dependable source of savory sustenance that's no more than a short drive or a phone call away. Long Island boasts hundreds of great slice joints.
