Food.... For the Best Neapolitan Style Pizza in New York, Visit Don Antonio on West 50 Street in Manhattan. The crust on the pizza was also perfect. As traditional Neapolitan-style pizza is known for its soft, thin dough, puffy, charred crust, the Don Antonio version is well executed. The Regina Margherita with the grape tomatoes melted in my mouth the flavor was sensational. You must try the Pere & Noci salad along with your pizza, it peas, exquisite‼ Giorgia Caporuscio, an acclaimed and world champion pizzaiola who has earned international recognition for her authentic Neapolitan pizza, is behind the beloved Don Antonio restaurant. Located at 309 West 50th Street in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, the casual eatery has an extensive list of pizzas. Don Antonio has over 30 types of Neapolitan pizzas, and the menu is a little bit daunting at first due to so many options, but even the pickiest eater will find something they'll want to eat. To top that off, Caporuscio recently debuted a brand new pizza tasting menu that features a curated lineup of never-before-seen pizza napoletana, and seven varieties of pizza fritta (fried pizza). Lastly, the entire pizza menu is now available gluten-free. With vast offerings, they are ambitious, and every dish is outstanding. read more

Found this absolute gem of a restaurant for neopolitan pizza and am OBSESSED with their ten year anniversary margherita. Beautifully pillowy crust with a fiery char, and there's a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity from the tomato and savoriness from the pesto. We were curious about the white pizzas so we tried the norma and that one was nice as well with a lot of textures from the eggplant and tomato. Personally prefer the margarita as it seems to be a more well-rounded pizza and the tomato just can't be missed. It was pretty packed inside when we got there and took the bar seating, so would probably recommend a reservation for larger parties (2+) on evenings. Definitely one of my top neopolitan pizza spots in NYC! read more

I've been talking about having pizza in NY since I arrived and I went inside this place. They have Michelin placards for various years include 2025. It's a small and quaint place with an open kitchen in the back. There is a bar as you walk in and I sat at the bar. The bartender is great and I asked him what the most ordered items were. He directed me to the special pizza page. I saw they have fried pizza but I didn't try it. I got a mixed salad with The Butcher pizza .it was delicious. The dough is chewy but not crispy. I would have preferred it more crispy. It's hard to fold the pizza but it was also hard to cut it because of the chew . In the end I ended folding the pizza. read more

We stopped by Don Antonio for lunch. When we arrived, it was quite busy inside and we were told it would be a 30 minute wait but we ended up getting seated faster than that! We tried the 10 years anniversary pizza which came with red sauce, stracciatella, pecorino romano and topped with fresh basil pesto. We also got the Macellaio (the butcher) which came with four different proteins split into quadrants including sausage, ham, salame and prosciutto. The pizzas came out piping hot and quickly, and the flavors were good. It was Neapolitan style, though the crust was a bit too thin for my personal preference. Of note, their pizzas are personal sized (12") - we were looking for a light lunch so sharing a few among a group of 4 worked well. Service was super prompt. Overall, a nice experience for Neapolitan pizza at a busy location! read more

The Good: One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time! The dough is just light and chewy in a perfect way. And, the sauce is amazing! Fast and friendly service too. The Bad: I'm not going to find a pizza place like this back in LA. The Ugly: We just had to order a second pizza because it was so delicious. The 10 year anniversary pizza with pesto is a flavor bomb and out of this world! read more

Went for the gluten pizza for one in our party and was not a fan of the wood fired crust or the crushed tomatoes used as a sauce ( I know that's the way they do it in Italy and I wasn't fond of it there either) . The ambiance was loud music and we were seated by the kitchen and could hear all the noise from there. read more

I honestly did not expect the pizza to be as good as it was here, like I saw the signs for one of the 25 best pizzas in the world and thought I wouldn't be able to tell. But you definitely could! Just thinking about it, my mouth is watering. My friend is gluten free and swears this is the best gluten free pizza she has had and I can see that with how good the pizza in general was. I'm a sucker for a truffle/burrata/prosciutto anything and was so excited to see all that together in one pizza. The char on the crust was delicious along with all the toppings. I finished the whole pie and had room for tiramisu surprisingly. Staff was very attentive and the hostess were very mindful of when people came and started waiting to have a list. Bar is open seating though. I cannot wait to come back. read more

Had a great time at Don Antonio having dinner with my fianceé's friend from her master's program along with her boyfriend. The 4 of us decided to grab a relatively early dinner at 6pm on a Friday evening. You'd be surprised, but the place was nearly full. I think it's due to the proximity of Times Square that there might be a lot of tourists, but I don't know. This is where the flexibility of not having to book a reservation helped. We somehow got a table right after we got here. Tables are packed quite compactly here, but there were quite a lot of people here. Service was quite quick - quicker than our usual fast selves. But we didn't have a difficult time making decisions. We got a Squash & Kale Salad to start. Between the 4 of us, we split 3 pizzas. We ordered a prosciutto pizza as a non-vegetarian option for our friend. We also got a simple margherita pizza while I ordered the Norma Nostra. The Margherita was great, but the Norma Nostra stole the show for me. Note that these are individual sized to an extent. I wish the sliced the pies a bit better, but that's okay. The pizza tasted awesome. Also, there's a spicy olive oil provided at the table. That added all the bounce I needed for the pie. For dessert, we ordered both the options: Tiramisu & the Angioletti with Nutella. Tiramisu was good as expected. Angioletti was a lot, though maybe a bit too much for all of us. It was okay. Still think this place gets a 5 star review from me. Will highly recommend for anyone wanting a relatively quick sit down dinner. read more

We dine here every time we come in to see a show. Arrived at 11:30 for an early lunch before our Matinée. Shared an appetizer of Frittatine Napoletane which are spaghetti fritters & the Margherita pizza. Both were delicious but the fritters were outstanding unlike anything we ever had & the service was excellent. And we will be bringing our relatives from Italy when they visit this summer! read more

Probably one of my top pizza places I'd recommend! Their fried pizza is something different that most places don't do and it was crispy and there's no "crust" which was different than most pizzas! Their servers are super attentive and quick to assist when you need it most! They have some great recommendations when we didn't know what to order to try besides their most popular pizzas! Definitely coming back! read more

Wow completely blown away with how good this restaurant was. I have a friend with celiac so we are always looking for a good gluten free spot and this place nailed everything. I would 100% recommend even if you do not have a gluten allergy. We shared Giorgia's Fritto Misto and they were amazing, the frittatine was our favorite would recommend ordering that. The pizzas we had were unbelievable the gluten free crust is top notch and the regular pizza crust is amazing as well. The prosciutto margarita pizza was one of my favs along with the star of the show was the MONTANARA GENOVESE. If you get anything order that. The service is great, the atmosphere is very casual. read more

One of my favorite pizza spots in the city. They've got tons of fun flavor combinations. In all of the pizzas, the dough is crunchy, chewy, and perfectly leavened. Service is ridiculously fast--we've been in and out of the place in 30 minutes. I'd recommend sticking to the classic types of pizza, not the fried dough options, such as the Pizza Pianeta & the Montara Classica. The latter was too smoky for our liking. The atmosphere is bustling, but fun. Definitely stop by sometime. read more

Let me start with I am Italian and I also turned gluten free recently: this pizza at Don Antonio was one of the best I ever had. The quality of the dough is great and they also have a spicy olive oil which you can add that really makes a difference. The place is not too big and the service was excellent. I recommend! read more

The pizzas came out really quickly. Some parts were slightly burnt but I assumed that's what happens when you use a traditional oven. The food was good, just not worth the price. The chairs we were seated in were quite small and the restaurant felt a bit crammed. The service was attentive and the waiter checked on us regularly. With tip, the bill for two pizzas and two beers (from cans, not draft) rang us up about $100 and for that money I think you can find other options. I did like the post card that came with the bill. read more

The Montanara Classico was an amazing pizza. I was skeptical of a fried pizza but this was so good. Would definitely recommend. The Smokey mozzarella was so yummy. I usually prefer a very thin crust but this one was not ans I still loved it. The tiramisu was not that good. I didn't really like the lemon flavor of the sponge at all. Service was good. It's a bit loud but overall ambiance was ok. read more

The Ricotta & Indivia was delicious, as was the Margherita pizza with sausage and mushrooms. Ingredients tasted fresh, well seasoned, and perfectly prepared. The pizza dough was absolutely delicious. Great service with very attentive servers. Ambiance is extremely loud and you're packed in like sardines, which dropped my rating from a perfect score. Fortunately, the amazing food dominates and helped offset the extremely tight squeeze and feeling like you're sharing your table with other customers seated right up next to you. read more

Went here for a girls night dinner. The drinks were very strong! We each had 2 and were varying degrees of tipsy. The place is small and they don't take reservations so be patient or have a back up plan. We ordered the burratta. I've had better burrata but this one came with a really delicious fried zucchini topping definitely worth getting. Then we ordered three pizzas the montanera which is a fried specialty and unfortunately our least favorite. I didn't like the taste because it tasted a little bit chemically my two companions love to The Taste but did not like the thickness of the dough. Then we ordered the 10-year anniversary Pizza that one was better. But our favorite was the regular margarita with mushrooms and prosciutto. read more

This was our first time in New York, and we decided to get some pizza. What made this spot stand out wasn't just the great flavor it also offers gluten free options, which was perfect since my wife can't have gluten. The service was excellent, and while the space was small, it had a lot of character. The pizza was so good we completely forgot to take photos! We also had a few drinks, and they were made really well. I highly recommend this place if you're in New York! read more

Michelin recognized pizza spot whose owner is recognized as one of the best pizza makers in the world. Came here for dinner in a group of three around 8:30pm and we were able to get seated with a minimal wait. They don't accept reservations; it's walk-in only. Credit cards accepted. Indoor dining only. Food-wise, we split the following: Calzone Classico - this came with salami inside and was very filling. If you're hungry, I'd recommend ordering one of these for yourself. Margherita Ghialla Pizza - the sauce is unique since they use yellow tomatos, though the taste is like a normal Neopolitan style pizza. The crust is thin with a nice char, and the sauce is more subtly sweet than a normal marinara sauce. Montanara Al Tartufo - a montanara is lightly fried pizza dough with toppings. This particular one was crispy without being too oily. The cream sauce with truffle was rich and was flecked with small bits of cheese. read more

OMG!! I tried the Montanara instead of their "famous" Neapolitan pizza...OMFG!! It's exactly as the menu describes, the dough is flash fried before the sauce et al is applied (or as the menu indicates before the smoke from the pizza oven kisses the pizza). This was certifiably one of the GREATEST pizzas I've ever had in my life!! I SO highly recommend Don Antonio!! read more

The Pizza here has some serious street cred. Eighteen hundred reviews and counting, this four-star yelped rated pizza joint packs some serious flavor. We went with the Pizza Del Re. This pizza consists of mushrooms, prosciutto, and a truffle cream sauce. You will also have at your table some chili oil which really adds some spice to your pie if you choose to dip your slice in the oil or lather it on top. The pizza has been described as chewy, I agree, however it goes down very easy, almost like a pringle how easy it is to devour a single slice. My girlfriend and I saved leftovers for later in the night however so you can definitely get away with just ordering one pie for two people. My only qualm with the restaurant is they really do not make a margarita well at all. They listed it on my bill at fourteen dollars for a house tequila and up charged two dollars to make it a margarita. I couldn't taste the tequila in it, and it tasted like they only mixed it with lime juice. I highly recommend for pizza and for those that can only eat gluten free, they can make any pie gluten free. As always people SYOY!!! read more

Ok. We relied on Daniel to pick it. And he did not disappoint. Nor did the food. Daniel downed an entire GF margherita pie all by his lonesome! In addition to getting us here from Boston in a very safe, efficient manner, Ariel took charge of our order. A couple of pear noci salads to split. Yes, Gloria's was dressing and nuts on the side. And by nuts, I don't mean the rest of our family! Then we shared a regular margherita pie and a mushroom calzone. Both were expertly prepared and came out very fast. I knew beforehand that there would be no little side dish or marinara for dunking. This is the only disappointment. I'm not sure why the pizza bottom is floppy. The crust is thin, tasty and floppy. Washed down with a glass of the best water this side of the Mississippi, NYC Tap Water, and we had a great meal and phenomenal New York experience! read more

"Good things come to those who wait." I have been waiting to try this pizzeria since September. After coming here, I cannot wait to come back here again and try another one of these pies. Are they expensive? Yes. Welcome to Midtown. The pizza is going to be pricey. But the pizza is too good to eat just one pie. You will want at least two or three. I ordered two and I still feel great. To get a feel for the restaurant I got a red and a white pie. Rather than just getting a plain of each, I spiced it up by getting things on them. What I enjoyed about each pie is that they have their own character and personality. It did not feel bland or boring. Each slice on the pie tastes different from the one before it. In fact, each slice tastes BETTER than the one before it, if you plan it out properly. I recommend listening to your server over your gut when it comes to getting the perfect pie. It worked beautifully for me. They were attentive, intelligent, and confident in their choices. I thought I would restrain myself and only eat a little of each pie, but wound up eating two whole pies. Call me a pig, I dare you. Come here, and you will find yourself doing the same thing I did. The pies are a bit on the salty side, but that's because of the meats on them. The pies are Neapolitan style, which means a doughier and chewier crust, along with a faster cook. That is largely because the oven is hotter so the pizza cooks in minutes. It is also right near the 50th Street station on the C/E trains. Or you could walk it from other nearby stations like 49th Street on the N/R/W or Times Square-42nd Street if you feel brazen enough. The pizza is worth it. read more

While searching online for a gluten-free pizza option in NYC, this place really stood out and it did not disappoint. We actually walked a few miles to get there, and wow, it was worth every step. The place was packed when we arrived, but we got seated right away, which was a nice surprise!! I do wish the gluten-free crust didn't come with a $5 upcharge, but honestly, it was so good I didn't even care once I took that first bite. Super flavorful and satisfying. The food came out fast, which we were grateful for since we were starving by the time we got there. It's a cool little spot with great energy, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in NYC now that I have recently discovered gluten is a big problem for my body and causes me pain in joints ...we plan to come back every year! read more

On this visit we went to try the calzones. They were very tasty but some important notes: the classico had ricotta and salami on the inside but sauce and some grated cheese on the outside. Almost more like folded pizza. Massively large - eachof us only ate our calzone and that was enough for dinner.. No side of sauce available which is only negative. Fried or baked options are available. They will generally only seat you when your whole party is there unless it's relatively quiet. read more

Excellent food! The appetizers, salads, and pizzas were incredible. My favorite pizza was the 10th anniversary, but I also really liked The Butcher. It was a noisy restaurant (because it's so popular) so it was difficult to hear people talking at my table, so that's the only downside. Otherwise, it's a great spot with amazing food!

Memorial Day 2025 Fleet weekend Sunday in Times Square and it was pretty quiet in Midtown Manhattan. We wanted good NYC pizza, but also wanted to have a bottle of Super Tuscan with our pizza. We don't usually eat in Times Square as it's touristy and not a known food destination. What we really wanted was a John's, Joe's, Mariella, Mano's, but we were in the neighborhood and Google rated this place pretty high. We ordered the fried pizza plain, this was the best of the 3, crispy with the least flop. We also ordered a "butcher" which had prosciutto and an anchovy neopolitan. Both were very soggy and wet, the antithesis of a crispy NYC slice. Neither could be picked up by hand and necessitated knife and fork eatin'. The Super Tuscan was the saving grace, rich, full-bodied, pairing well with the soggy slices. Recommend that you get takeout from almost any NYC slice-style pizzeria and any chianti, barolo, amarone, at your local wine store for a true NYC pizza experience. We ate at the bar counter and Juan was definitely the busiest man on Broadway, he was a non-stop cocktail making machine. Go to John's or Joe's for pizza, come here for a few drinks pre or post show, don't mind the tourists. About $175 for 3, 12" pizzas and a bottle of wine. read more
