pizza good for dates casual lunch specials spicy food great value salads bar good service grilled corn delivery sausage eggs brunch food crowded music picante dinner anchovies cherries
Eric Friedman

Are you starting with the meatballs ? Solid choice. A great custom pie is the margarita pizza with sausage . Asking for the pizza wine is a must - it's cold and carbonated (trust me it's good)!

Eater

Motorino serves the best Neapolitan pies as the margherita is solid, but pros go for the soppressata picante , or the famous pizza with Brussels sprouts . Kitchen open until midnight. Read more

Erik Cintron

This tiny but cool pizza spot was serving made to order person pizza pies Which is the only way to do it. They have all different types of topping and also serve alcohol and suggest perfect pairings.

Kasey Ma

Had the margherita with white anchovies on it. WHITE anchovies soaked in white wine . It was absolutely scrumptious. Never had anchovies like that. And the dough was so light, crispy , and fluffy!

Jwow

One if NYC's best lunch specials matched with one of NYC's best pies. Pizza and salad for only $12! The Brussels sprout pizza is a must. Insider tip: be sure to have a glass if the perfect pizza wine .

Angela Chung

Love this small spot for dinner away from all the crazy rush everywhere else. Amazing and very spicy soppressata super piccante!

Pratheeksha KS

Buffalo mozzarella pizza is so good. They are happy to remove the meat if you're vegetarian . They charge for substitutions. The dough is so tasty. Don't miss this if you like Neapolitan style pizzas

Katie Eytch

Wow, legit Naples style pizza that blew my mind. And the tiramisu was quality too which is rare!! Can't wait to go back and try the fancier pizzas

Lizzy Saxe

All the pizzas are great, but I recommend branching out. Try the Brussels sprout pie or the Colatura di'alici.

Stina P.

brussel sprouts pizza and mixed greens before to start are all you need to know. the wait on a Friday moves fast and music was mostly spoon or the equivalent. perfect for a date or catch up with pals!

Giulio del Bufalo

One of the best pizza places in town , authentic Italian pizza with some cool twists. The dough is chewy in a good way, not super thin though if that's what you're looking for. Stracciatella is my fave

Ayse D Ozturk

The best pizza dough ever. It is thin in the middle and thick and fluffy on the outside. Sopressata piccante is seriously hot, meatball pizza is perfect with lots of sauce and basil .

Eater

Mathieu Palombino and his crew have earned raves for their fluffy Neapolitan-style pizzas at Motorino. The Brussels sprouts pie and the soppresata pizza are standouts. Read more

The Corcoran Group

Arguably some of the best pizza in Manhattan. Our favorites are the Marinara and the Smoked Scamorzza. One pizza is enough for two people; although it’s so good you may just want to take some home.

Kevin Skobac

Solid Naples style pizza . We stop here every Valentine's Day for heart shaped pies #cheesytraditions

Mike Lyden

Utterly superb pizza and a small but perfect beer selection . Excellent little spot.

Charles Guerrero

I love crust like this. Crisp, yet pillowy. One person can easily eat a single pie. Try the Brussels sprout pizza for something different.

Red Fabbri

The best pizza in the neighborhood , and maybe even the city . Eat-in: get the octopus and any of the pizzas . Take-out: the margarita pie and brussels sprout/pancetta white pie , no sides.

Roger R

Awesome old school pizza place . The oven is legit and the pizza is top notch!

Jeffrey

Prosciutto di Parma - Killer crust, a chewy slightly charred base, and a slew of inventive toppings like Brussels sprouts with smoked pancetta or cherry stone clams with oreganata butter,

DoubleDeuce

Fantastic place. Come with your date. Not too expensive , not too loud , decent location. Always lots of neighborhood options to move along if it's going well .

Jillian

We all know the brussels sprouts pie is the move by now. But the MEATBALLS. crazy good and a little bit spicy , too. Dip your pizza crust in that sauce. Wow wow wow.

Alex Engel

All the toppings are great. The crust is doughy but not too chewy. Usually a wait to get in so don't go starving otherwise you'll get lured by the adjacent restaurants that look great too.

Time Out New York

Order the Margherita — it's a classic combination of tomato sauce , mozzarella and basil with melted islands of buffalo-milk mozzarella on a thin layer of sweet sauce . Read more

Collette S

So good - but there's always a wait! The $12 lunch special is the way to go. Also, the soppressata pizza and perfect pizza wine are fantastic

The Daily Meal

In addition to the traditional varieties of marinara and Margherita pizza , Motorino offers a handful of more spirited pies, including one with cherry stone clams , and another with Brussels sprouts . Read more

jon ferrer

the pizzas are excellent here, especially the mushroom-sausage and soppresata pie. their lunch special is a really great deal. $12 for a salad and one of four pizzas .

Halstead Property

There are tons of choices with unique toppings ; yet, it’s the brussel sprout pizza that knocks the ball out of the park . Get those veggies in with a slice that is not overpoweringly oily!

Ali Colangelo

From the pizzas to meatballs , it's all good! The Brussel sprout pizza is no joke. Pay no attention that it sounds weird. If you like the veggie , you'll love this!

Valerie Seckler

Zingy tomato sauce makes a Neapolitan margherita memorable. A wood-burning oven delivers chewy crust . Pizza pie + mesclun w/fresh pepper+sea salt, can be had in a $12 lunch , M-F. Old New York setting.

Jessi Dex

It's good, but not wait-in-the-cold-for-30-minutes good. Restaurant is cramped and seats near the window are frigid in the winter. Interesting selection of wines and the fresh oregano was a nice treat

Adrien

Lunch special is the best way to try one the best pizza in EV. Start with the beets salad . End with tiramisu . (no espresso there)

Valerie Seckler

Very good pizza + value can be found at Motorino. At lunch M-F, $12 brings field greens and onions with fresh pepper and sea salt , plus a choice of generous and flavorful individual pizzas .

StefanoBlack▒

These guys took Una Pizza's location and wood-burning oven. Less authentic and hardcore than UPN, with a more diverse menu. But more affordable , and still the best Neapolitan-style pie in NYC.

Compass

Ear thin-crust Neapolitan pizza like it was intended to be eaten - with a light, airy crust, bubbling warm cheese , and simple yet innovative topping combinations.

Noah Weiss

The brussels sprouts and pancetta pizza is by far the best. Perfectly smoky. It's a top 3 pie in the city after Di Fara's plain and Keste's prosciutto and arugula .

Liza

Pizza crust is out of this world but the Brussels sprout and pancetta pizza is overrated - olive oil and larger pancetta pieces were tasty, but the brussels sprouts were just like any other.

Jennifer Lee

bread lover's paradise! soft-and-chewy inside/lightly charred outside crust makes every pizza a delight, and the topping combos are all well done. try the b.sprouts-pancetta, margherita , or clam .

Cole Kennedy

It’s good and one of the only options for sit-down pizza , but definitely not my favorite Neapolitan style spot in the city . If you’re intent on table service, go with Joe & Pat’s around the corner.

Kerry Hassen

Wasn’t planning on loving it but we did. The Brussels sprout pizza was an awesome surprise.

The Corcoran Group

You can’t go wrong here. We definitely recommend the Margherita , the Soppressata Piccante or the Colatura di Alici. Start with the Warm Spicy Octopus & Potato .

Jacob Aronoff

Great Neapolitan pizza , the crust is amazing. I got their sopressata picante , but I think their margarita pizza is the best.

danielle grant

This is one of the best pizza places in New York - it's completely authentic and incredibly delicious. Also recommend the Fennel Salad

Dan Hebert

Get the roasted artichoke appetizer . And be sure to have some “pizza wine ” with your meal! It’s chilled, sparkling red wine .

Stefano Guidolin

This is one of the best pizza (if not the best) you can have around here. Really close to the authentic neapolitan style!

Keith Kaplan

The Brussels sprout pizza is soooo good! The lunch special is a great deal for $12

ドーラ

Try the margherita or the Pugliese, a refreshingly non-dry pizza bianca topped with burrata , broccolini , spicy sausage and chilies. There's also a selection of burrata-topped crostini and cured meats .

Alex Moore

all of the pizzas are amazing! personal favorite or sopressatta and breakfast pizza !

Tolga Büyükdoganay

Basic and great. Not like 100 pizza to select from. But you can make your own pizza . Good wine too. And 80s music !

Sam Winnick

This pizza here is amazing. I always go for marghertia classic but the Brussel sprout pizza is actually good too.
