The Corcoran GroupThe Corcoran Group: Crispy and fresh, this thin-crust pizza doesn’t leave you feeling stuffed and greasy. Go when the weather is right because seating outside is much more enjoyable.

Rachel W.Rachel W.: This is the original Patsy's, unaffiliated with the rest in the city. Their coal oven pizzas are the closest to what I've had in Italy. Absolutely delicious.

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Their coal-fired slices are the missing link of pizza. The clear middle ground between the old world Neapolitan pies and the modern New York slice.

Nicole C.Nicole Christie: I can't even eat regular pizza anymore--Patsy's has spoiled me. The thin crust, the cheese, the sauce! So good you can eat a whole pie and not feel guilty. GO HERE! You will not regret it...
