This was borderline a 2 star experience . The service was bad - waiter pushing us to order more and add expensive add-ons , bring in the appetizer and the main course together . Not great As for the food it was a little better - the double burger was ok but I wouldn't say it was medium-rare as promised (2.5/5). The Detroit style pizza (mvp flavor) was ok but not one of the best I had - the dough was so-so and tomato sauce did not feel fresh(3/5). The waffle fries were interesting (3.5/5) and the ceaser salad was...so-so(not enough dressing ) I think there better places to try . Disappointing
SO SO GOOD. I am a sucker for a pretzel bun, so much that i eat it by itself sometimes. however the pretzel bun for the emmy burger really seals the meal completely, capturing the savory & juiciness of the meat, without the overly greasy nature of some other burgers in the city (that chain that we all find ourselves going back to). the staff was nice and the ambiance was great, no one rushed us even as we approached 5:30/6 pm dinner time on a saturday. i recommend going during off peak around 3/4 pm to get a good seat by the window and leisurely chat while enjoying delicious pizza (so butter and yummy) and the emmy burger. ps dont get seoul sister, it's really wet and nothing to call home about. but i didnt tack stars for that since thats not what they're known for
The burger was cooked perfectly with a juicy patty and great flavor in every bite. The pretzel bun added a nice touch and held everything together without getting soggy. Service was friendly and the atmosphere made for a great lunch spot. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu.
Hit up Emily recently and I got the Emmy Burger and their famous MVP pizza. The burger lives up to the hype: juicy, well-seasoned beef, nicely melted cheese, caramelized onions, and that pretzel-bun + special sauce combo that makes it feel indulgent in all the right ways. The MVP Pie was also excellent. It's simple but so well executed: great crust, mellow tomato sauce, layered cheese, and that perfect Emily-style balance of richness and char. Not as flashy as some of their other pies, but honestly one of those "done right" pizzas that hits exactly when you want something classic. A great comfort-food meal and an easy recommendation if you want pizza and burgers that taste genuinely well crafted.
Almost 5 starts but a few things off. The Kim Chi Bulgogi fries were full of bacon, and less bulgogi but the bulgogi had a seasoning that wasn't good, the sauce ok, missing salt and would have been great if a little kim chi was actually on top. The Emmy Double Stack Burger was really good, super greasy, and hard to eat. Had to eat with knife and fork. The waffle fries needed salt! They had a herb/garden like ranch, that they charge for $2. I was bummed I didn't get to sit on the floor level, and went down in the basement instead. Must be because I'm a tourist instead of a local. That bummed me out! Andrew was our server. Nice guy, he didn't check on my table as often as the other table with more than 2 guests.
Wow. I can understand the hype. I've been back already. The double burger is nothing short of delectable. The sauce is so creamy and it's messy and allllll over the burger. So tasty to try. The pretzel bun is a blast. Waffle fries were perfectly cooked. Awesome service. He was so friendly and walked us through the whole history of the burger. I felt very taken care of. I can't recall his name but slightly red head and a beard. He is the man!
Came here for lunch after summer streets. We made a reservation and came about half an hour early, which they were nice enough to seat us. We were seated and given menus and cups. Then no one came to us for 10 minutes, not even with water. The other patrons all either ordered, or had their food already so I wasn't sure why we weren't given any attention. We tried to flag them down but they mostly congregated near the front amongst each other and were facing the other way. We finally got someone to take our order after 15 minutes. We ordered the double stacked burger and a chicken parm sandwich. The burger was pretty good. Cheese and sauce were great, and lovedddd the waffle fries. The chicken parm sandwich was all right, but it's not what they're known for.
Called to see if they did walk ins since online they were all full. We showed up in 10 and got seated with the understanding that another party will need the table in 80 min. Having read reviews about the burger we winded up ordering the Seoul Sister and the Emmy. We also tried the cauliflower along with some beers. Note that during ordering we were not asked how we wanted the Emmy cooked, whereas another party that came along later the server did ask. A sign of spotty service. The cauliflower came first and was tender, tasty and had a kick. The Seoul Sister came first, followed by the Emmy in about 5 minutes. Upon first bite of both burgers one could feel how dense the bite was. The meat was salty and chewy. Kenji Lopez Alt would have had a fit since the burgers were probably over handled in adding the seasoning and forming the patty. So while the menu description read fantastic (as well as some reviews online) the actual eating experience was a bit disappointing since it didn't live up to the rave reviews. The interior decor was nice and seating tight and a loud nyc ambiance, with outdoor seating even on a rainy day. Additional seating and bathrooms are downstairs. We didn't try the pizza but as for the burgers take the hype with a grain of salt. Knowing there was a time limitation on the seats we attempted to flag our server down on a few occasions for the check but unfortunately he was not so attentive.
I've been to four of the Emily locations, and they've all been consistently good, which is rarely the case once a business expands. I do have a soft spot for the OG location in Clinton Hill since I lived there for 14 years, but I am also happy to see the business continue to expand and thrive. I recently visited the West Village location with my husband and brother on a Friday night without a reservation. We were luckily able to be seated pretty quickly since they have a large space with additional seating downstairs. We ordered jumbo wings, two pizzas (Roni Supreme and VIP), and the double stacked burger. Needless to say, we had leftovers, but everything was delicious. I thought the wings would be too sweet, but they were nicely balanced, and I really loved the VIP pizza with the combination of vodka sauce and pesto. The Calabrian chilis also add a really nice touch. The service was great, and we were in and out of there in an hour and a half, including wait time.
Might've been the best pizza I've ever had - I tend to like thicker crust. I want to go back and verify. The burger was also super good but if I were to go back I'd ask for lettuce and tomato on it to cut the heaviness. Pretzel bun was definitely unique but a tad dry. Great service and solid seating. I sat outdoors but I love that.
After how frequently the famous "Emmy Burger" comes up on a podcast I listen to, I knew I had to try this place when I was visiting NYC. The burger was maybe the best burger I've ever had. What that special sauce is, I have no idea but it is goooood. My husband got the Good Paulie pizza, which is a white sauce base and holy crap was it delicious too! They make Detroit style pizzas with a thicker crust, which I love. Our cocktails were so yummy too. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant too - they were playing great music and sitting upstairs allowed me to look outside all the windows and watch everyone walk by. The upstairs seating is a bit crowded with tables for 1-4 people. It was a little awkward being seated so close to other people, but I understand they are maximizing the smaller space. They had outdoor tables as well, but we were visiting in February, so no one was seated outside. Downstairs had little rooms for larger groups and was so cool - like a fancy cellar with exposed brick. And you can see the open kitchen where they are hard at work preparing the food. You've probably had pizza and burgers before but if you've never had them at Emily's, I promise you won't regret it!
Tried the famous Emmy burger and honestly, it was kind of underwhelming. Most of the flavor came from the cheese and caramelized onions, but the beef patties didn't really stand out. The waffle fries on the side were really good though. Ended up liking the chicken parm sandwich more. The chicken was crispy and sandwich was extra cheesy. Service could've been better. We sat for a while without water or any attention from the server.
Came here to just try the burger this time. The saucy drizzle look scares me a bit as , I mean... I do enjoy the flavor, the sauce wasn't very thick as it looked. Pretty greesy. Usually not a fan of pretzel bun as it's usually on the denser side but this one wasnt, and love the grilled/toasted rim of the bun. I asked for crispier fries, it was good. For $30 though, it's almost the price for burger at a fine dining restaurant.

Julio, we are very happy you liked our burger! Thank you for dining…
Came back two years later to say- this place is STILL amazing. The wait can be long and the restaurant can be loud but it's absolutely worth it. This time we had the mozzarella sticks, the mushroom pizza, and the fried chicken sandwich with fries and they were all amazing. This location never gets it wrong! read more

I definitely never heard of this place until my friend mentioned wanting to try it. When I first looked at the menu, I was completely thrown off by the lack of customization for the burger and the appalling price of $26. It frankly seemed like a lot for a burger that didn't allow customizations and seemed to offer little. But, I decided to go with my friend to try it for the first time. We made a reservation beforehand and thank goodness we did. It was early brunch time, but even then, the place got packed rather quickly. We ordered the emmy burger for each person and a vodka sauce pizza with pepperoni to share. Let me just say that I was definitely surprised. I was more impressed by the pizza than the burger. The pizza was the best Sicilian pizza I've had, I honestly prefer this to L&B's (although both are great). The pizza was so light and crunchy, but also super flavorful with the pizza sauce and toppings. I honestly wanted more. The burger on the other hand was definitely interesting. It was sweet and tangy, my friend doesn't like his burgers sweet, but I didn't mind it. I have a big sweet tooth and so I definitely enjoyed the caramelized onions. The burger does come with a side of fries, which were also good. However, the seating and ambience made it somewhat uncomfortable as we were very close to the tables next to us and it felt very crowded. I would come back just for the pizza, but otherwise wouldn't unless I was in the area. However, it is definitely a one-time experience that's worth trying! read more

Hi Stephanie, we thank you for being our guest and taking the time to…
The apps were all amazing and super filling. This might have made it so that I was too full to really appreciate the burger, but when I had the leftovers the next day I was super satisfied. I didn't really care for the pizza, I don't remember which one I got exactly but it had sour cream and potatoes. I thought it was too many toppings. A good place to stop by if you live in NYC but I've had better burgers read more

The YouTubers got this one right! Amazing Brussels sprouts salad and their Emmy pretzel burger, was unbelievable. Cute little corner restaurant, nice part of town. Gave them 4 stars bec of their inside sitting set-up. Too close for comfort for my taste and only bec I fell that the customer next to me (stranger) could easily reach out and grab food from my table. Will consider seating outside next time around and weather permitting. read more
Emily was really good. I was in nyc on my own little gastronomy tour. I was alone in the city for only 8 hours so I went to several restaurants that came highly recommended as having the best something. My research led me to Emily for what the internet has dubbed the best burger. I made a reservation weeks in advance for as soon as they opened- Noon. When I arrived at 11:55 there were already a few people waiting outside for them to open. Keep in mind it was a Wednesday. That got me excited for what I was about to experience. I ordered the burger...of course...and the ...pizza. Don't judge me, my plan was always to order enough to take food to go, lol. I'm not a fan of double patties unless the patty is pounded thin (think Shack Shake or Steak n Shake thin) so I asked if I could order it with only one patty. I was willing to pay the same amount even though it would be 1 patty. But my server said no, they will only cook with two. Bummer but no biggie. However, later on while I was eating my food a family sat next to me and I overheard them also ask for their burger with only one patty and their server (a different one from mine) said no problem. Weird. But whatever. The burger was damn good, don't get me wrong, it was cooked perfectly and the toppings complimented eachother very well. But honestly was it the "best burger"? No. To be fair, it holds the unofficial title of being the best burger in NY, not the country so perhaps this really is as good as it gets in nyc. Oh, the waffle fries though were DELICIOUS. The pizza was ok. My server was amazing, checked on me frequently, really friendly and answered a lot of my annoying questions about the food. Sidenote: the music inside was really good too. 80s-90s soft rock and pop. And perfect volume. Loud enough to hear but not booming. I would recommend Emily. Idk if I would be rushing to come back here if I were in town again since NY has SO MANY amazing places to eat. But I do recommend trying if you live there or are in town for an extended period of time. read more
New York City Pizza! Pizza in NYC is just the best! Yelp Template I was craving pizza, so I used Yelp to see what was good. I picked Emily's because of the Yelp reviews. I ordered on Grubhub/Postmate from here late night. Very happy and shocked they were still open. The Yelp reviews did not steer me wrong. I have to say, this place was amazing. I was so impressed with how good this place was. Honey! I love honey on pizza! We ordered quite a few pizza pies on this Postmates adventure. Let's see what's good here!! I think I added or already came with honey on all the pizza's. Which is a must Vodka Pizza - Fire! So so good Pepperoni and spice pizza (Emily) - Colony - MVP - Pesto - Fire!!! So so good Overall - this pizza and food was insanely good. Wish I could have heated it all up. But so so so good!! read more

I've been listening to my favorite podcast rave about this Emily Burger for years. I finally remembered to try it, this trip around and by god did it live up to the hype. We ordered garlic bread sticks for the table which were to die for. Cheese, garlic, pesto and bread. Mouth watering. The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, the exact perfect amount of everything on a perfect bun. It's the most delicious burger I've ever tasted. The burger came with a side of waffle fries which were a great addition to an already perfect meal. We also got the pizza which was also fantastic. Fluffy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our server was great and attentive and the ambiance was perfect. Couldn't say better things about this restaurant. read more

This is one of my girlfriend's favorite places and I was very pleased trying it for the first time. We shared a pizza and a burger. If it's your first time going to Emily I recommend you do the same. We were able to make reservations which was great and the service was friendly. Indoor atmosphere is pretty good but a smidge towards the crowded side. They have a lot of pizzas on the menu and I look forward to going back to try more of then. I really liked the burger too! It has a unique dressing and the patties were cooked very well. Can't wait to go back! read more

Laverie, we are glad you like our burgers and pizza! Thank you for…
One of the best burgers - if not the best burger I've had in NYC! I highly recommend making reservations in advance otherwise the wait can be long. This place brands itself as a pizza restaurant, but I was here because I heard a lot about the burger. I ordered the Emmy Burger Double Stack (Pat Lafrieda). It's $26, but it's a big burger and it's served with a ton of curly fries on the side. They don't allow any modifications on the burger, but I was okay with it because the burger is perfect as-is. The patty was juicy, the pretzel bun had a ton of flavor, and the EMMY sauce was delicious! I'll definitely be back for more burgers, and I want to try their sandwiches as well. read more

Everybody knows the real reason you come to New York is for the DETROIT style pizzas. Emily is the go-to place for a delectable slice - the secret sauce is the honey, any of the pizzas with honey are absolutely amazing. Service was incredibly friendly and top-notch - even answered some of my touristy questions about the area! Definitely stop by here if you're an NYU kid or just someone in the area lookin for a heavenly slice read more
GET THE BURGER!! That's my takeaway. The burger was hands down one of the best burgers I've eaten- I also LOVE pretzel buns so that was definitely a plus for me. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth level and the emmy sauce was a hit. I don't think you can go wrong with their pizzas, we tried the Arenstein which was delicious and great for sharing. I loved the pepperoni cups on the pizza and the flavors blended together so nicely. A solid pizza but nothing mind blowing here. I was really excited for the cheesy garlic sticks but they definitely disappointed a little bit. It sounds like all of my favorite flavors but I thought the bread was too thick and with the pizza too it wasn't a great appetizer since I thought it was too bready. Come Again? Yes- for the burger!! I'd be down for pizza or a different appetizer but definitely would be down to come again for the burger! (5 stars for the burger, 4 stars for the pizza, and 3 for the cheesy garlic sticks!) read more
12.26.2019 This review is prior to the pandemic. Emily Watched a video on this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Place was deep in the heart of west village. Dropped by on a Thursday night and was told half an hour wait so we put our names down. We decided to wait inside the restaurant after strolling on the streets for a few and drop back in and was told we were the next party. We order Emmy double stack burger ($26) with curly fries. I never tried a pretzel burger before which was what brought me to the restaurant. Presentation was good. But the bun was soggy. When I opened up the bun, it was burned. There wasn't really any wow factor to the beef. I will pass on this one. The colony ($23) Detroit style pizza which came out in square, came with pepperoni, pickled chili and honey. The pizza was flavorful. Weird combination with the chili and honey but it worked well. Overall meal was okay and service was good. read more
I'd been super excited to try Emily for years. Finally came around to making a reservation and found myself pretty underwhelmed by the experience. We ordered the burger and fries and one pizza between the three of us. Potion sizes are HUGE which is nice and we were all beyond full in the end. The burger was falling apart with each bite and the burger bun was getting increasingly soggy with each bite. Also the intense vinegar-y flavor of the Emily sauce on the burger is really not for everyone so I find it unappealing that you can't customize the burger to omit that sauce. If you don't like buffalo you probably won't like this sauce. The redeeming factor here was the pizza. We did the hot honey and pepperoni pizza which was absolutely delicious. My recommendation is to stick to the pizza if you're coming here and aren't a crazy fan of buffalo/vinegar based dressing. read more

I can't say for certain if that burger is one of the best I've ever eaten (probably because I haven't fully availed myself of all the many burgers in this city) but it's definitely one of the most creative, starting with the pretzel bun, the caramelized onions, and that special sauce. Yes, it'll get all over your hands and face. The neatest way to get that thing in your belly is to cut it in half and proceed but there's something really primal about just hefting it in your hands. My one very tiny nit (and I almost will never say such a thing) is that the burger seemed to lack just a bit more seasoning. A- Also, why aren't curly fries more of a thing with burgers? Emily's brought me back to how AMC Loews used to serve a cone of curly fries, which I would always demolish during the previews. I couldn't stop eating these, which retained a perfect crispiness even after sitting for awhile. A The other dishes we ordered were a little less mind-blowing. Both of the salads we ordered were extraordinarily overpriced for the portion. We had asked for the dressing to be served on the side with the broccoli salad ... and were served a bowl of the saddest, spottiest, wilted yellow florets. Like seriously, week-old, bottom of the crisper, totally-forgot-I-had-these broccoli chopped up. I really wish I had taken a picture. The cherry was that, on one of the peach slivers, there was a bit of the produce sticker that had not been removed before it was cut. The saving grace of this salad was the miso dressing. C The Detroit-style pie was also maybe too heavy on the bread. I could eat a whole pizza without the crust and this was essentially 85% crust with sauce and cheese. Just a personal preference. I did love how puffy the dough was, with a sprinkling of baked cheese on the edges. B+ Asparagus salad. Really meh. Some asparagus slivers and some twirly bits of another green vegetable. B Overall: Glad I finally tried the Emily burger but now want to try others in the city to compare. read more
Made it back!! Finally! This time we sat at the bar- it was perfect! The bartender couldn't have been nicer- we knew exactly what we wanted and it really didn't disappoint!! We shared the Emmy Burger Double Stack which really hits the spot and this time we also tried the Brussels salads- it's tangy and sweet and also perfect to share! Burger comes with curly fries which are seasoned. Highly recommend this location and obviously the burger/fries, sweet, gooey and just delish (pretzel bun is ok, not my fav but the sauce and sautéed onions make up for it) so what are you waiting for? GO!!! read more

Stopped in at Emily earlier this summer and was able to be seated right away. I wasn't planning on eating here but the place my friend and I had in mind was closed and I had seen hype about Emily on Instagram. I really enjoyed my drink and my burger, which came out fast with friendly service. Would I pay $29 again for it? Probably not. I'm down for a big greasy burger once in a while but for those that might not enjoy that, know what you're getting into. I would honestly enjoy if there was an option to order the burger with one patty especially if it cost a little less Did not get to try the famed pizza but would return with a friend if they wanted to come see what Emily is all about. Ambiance was very cute! read more

Love the food here but a little bummed by the service this time around. We barely saw our waiter & one of our members never got her food and we had to leave for a show so luckily she just shared the pizza we ordered. The food here is really outstanding though - the Brussel sprouts salad is perfect for sharing, pink sauce pizza, and the burger are must orders read more
Wowowow, that burger is a showstopper. It's so juicy, and that pretzel bun is unlike any bun I've ever had. It may indeed be the best burger I've had in months. It comes with cheddar, caramelized onions, and their secret sauce, and they all worked in perfect harmony with that dry-aged beef. Of course it's messy, but the best burgers in the world are. Our ultra-cool waiter, Dominic, was kind enough to replace the curly fries with the asparagus salad, which was refreshing with all the greens and ricotta. Also got the broccoli salad, which was filling and delicious, too! They just can't do wrong. Vibrant, snug, and rustic, Emily packs a lot of ambiance and personality into a small two-floor space. We were lucky enough to get seated quickly because the hostess did her magic, but it's safer to make a reservation than to wing it. read more
Tasty burger! The fries are probably bought from elsewhere and are your standard crisscut. Crispy, not greasy, served with ketchup. The burger was juicy and beefy. Patty was advertised as medium but was well done. Not the worst since it was still tender and juicy. The pretzel but had good texture on the outside, while still being pleasantly soft on the inside. The sauce was a bit strong, and had a big hot sauce component. Definitely a good burger, but won't be a regular thing read more

Probably the most amazing burger my teenage burger aficionado son ever had with a unique rich (I daresay, mysterious) taste that was unlike any other burger anyplace else. My Pescatarian self couldn't help but steal 2 bites! Also had the cheesy garlic sticks, Seoul mate Detroit style pizza, which was the right balance of crispiness and flavor. And topped it off with the brownie skillet dessert (their only dessert option.) Service is friendly, swift, and knowledgeable. Ambiance is a cute space with downstairs dining option as well (but prefer upstairs.) read more

It was my first time here and I wasn't to sure what to order. I felt like you can't really go wrong with pizza...sometimes. So I choose to get the LARRY which is vegan and it was so delicious! Definitely good for 2 people. It was so flavorful and had a nice bite to it. Also had their fries as an appetizer and it was just as delicious. The portions are great, the interior is really nice and they had outdoor seating as well. Our waiter was also really kind and helpful. He knew what was in each dish and drink which made it easier to order. 10/10 would recommend to others. read more

I was told that Emily has the best burger in town... I was not disappointed. Emily actually super-ceded my expectations on both the pizza and burger. So their infamous double stacked burger comes with two juicy medium rare dry aged beef, and the infusion of the special dank sauce with the cheese and caramelized onions was absolutely amazing. This pretzel bun they had was also genius!! You get hints of sweetness from the bun, and the denseness of the bun helped with the integrity of the burger so nothing feel part from all the sauce. Topping it off with curly fries, you've done it, Emily. Hands down, I think this burger lives up to its expectation. Let's not forget that Emily is also known for their pizza. Oh my, we got the Big Ang which had peppers, huge meatballs in each slice with the vodka/tomato sauce. This is a detroit style pizza and I just love that the dough seems to be chewy, but extra thick and extremely crispy. Everyone around us ordered a good mix of either pizzas, burger or appetizers and everything honestly looked very delicious. I would 100% recommend this place, but make sure to make a rsvp! read more

Hands down the best burger I had in my life - I had high expectations and they were completely met. The pretzel bun was crispy, freshly toasted on both sides. The Emmy sauce was delicious and addicting. The meat in the burger was tender and cooked just right. The only thing that could be improved is the curly fries. Would love to come again to try their pizzas. read more
I have walked by Emily in West Village like 100 times but this is the first time I've actually been. I've always heard good reviews about it but didn't know that was the place I was always hearing about. I finally went and it did not disappoint. I came with just one other person and we ordered the burger, colony pie and cheesy bread sticks and cocktails. The spicy marg was delicious, just sweet and spicy enough with the smokiness of the mezcal and super refreshing. The cheesy garlic sticks we're delicious, cheesy, crispy and filled with pesto! The pizza was perfect, crispy, thick and an airy, super flavorful crust, thick pepperoni and the hot honey drizzle - *chefs kiss* If you get anything here, GET THE BURGER!!! There is a reason people rave about this being the best burger in NYC. It's was moist and tangy and flavorful and beefy and overall just an amazing bite. The servers were super friendly and the music was great! I am definitely coming back here! read more

Came here for the very hyped up Emily burger and also to try the pizza and it was delicious. The Emmy burger itself was much smaller than what I had seen in pictures (not that surprisingly) and the fries were a nice addition to the meal itself which came with it. Important to note that this isn't a 5 star review because it took the service 45 min for the pizza to come out, but they were nice enough to take the pizza off our tab because of that reason. For the pizza, we got the Big Ang and it was SUPER filling. However, I'm not sure if it was because we got the pizza super late but the dough felt a wee bit undercooked. I enjoyed the meatballs topping, however, but the undercooked parts of some of the slices was a bit of a setback. Overall, it's a cute restaurant, but expect to sit very close to other tables if you're there with one other person. The food was good, but maybe it was just an off night for the pizza we had gotten. I would want to come back again to try other pizzas still! read more
It kills me to say this place isn't as good as it used to be. Between the service and the food, we were disappointed. We had a reservation on Sunday evening so we were seated right away. My boyfriend ordered coke, and the waitress told us it was Mexican coke. But when I saw the bartender getting our drinks, she was pouring us a glass from a two-liter bottle of coke. Slightly deceiving, but ok. The burger wasn't as good as we remembered - the sauce wasn't as flavorful, and we couldn't really taste the onions. Plus I think the restaurant was understaffed that night because it was hard for other diners to get the waitress's attention. Ultimately it felt like we were being rushed out just so they could seat another group. Such a shame because the burger here used to be the BEST read more

Hidden little gem tucked away on a small quiet street in New York. Walked in and had a reservation that my guy friend had planned already but we were a little early- but the waitstaff was friendly and looked through his schedule to see where he could fit us- he sat us right away. He sat us right smack in between two tables which was a little strange cause we were so close together- but it was a small place and everyone was close together. My friend was raving about some burger they are known for and I thought the pizza sounded good. Chicago style is sorta like pan pizza and I know I like pan pizza so I went with the grammy which is basically a cheese pizza- he got the burger and fries which was one of their best sellers. I noticed everyone in the spot had pizza on their tables so I think my choice was a good one. My friend said it was national pizza day- so it makes sense to have it. The food came quickly and the waitress was fast and friendly. His burger was huge and juicy and came with a ton of curly fries. My pizza was crispy and cheesy and so flavorful. I was so happy and my stomach was happy. This was the first time in weeks I felt like finally showing my new guy friend I can eat like a beast-- and I did- I ended up eating about 3 slices of the pizza cause it was so damn good. The prices were a bit high then I'm used too but for the taste of the pizza and how satisfying it was it was worth it. My guy was also saying that he loved his burger and it was so juicy. I'd definitely come back another day if I'm ever in that area. read more

Is the Emmy burger now only served at this location?
The Upper East Side location doesn't serve the Emmy burger, they have a "le big matt" which is slightly different. Same for Midtown West, Park Slope, Williamsburg and Hell's Kitchen. It looks like the only other NY location that might have it is…
Do you offer delivery options or do you have the option to make a table reservation?
Reservations can be made on Resy (they go fast!) and delivery can be ordered through third party apps like UberEats
Is pizza available by the slice for take out?
Is the outside dining fully outside? Some recent pic showed it's fully outdoor and another recent pic showed plastic "walls" outside, making it no longer "outside".
Fully outside
Are there any pizzas or substitution options for someone who is lactose intolerant? (i.e pizzas without high lactose cheese such as mozzarella)
There are cheese-less choices which equal in delightfulness to the pizza; namely the chicken sandwich, and burger, at a minimum.
Do we need to reserve or do you accept walk ins?
They accept walk in, actually I don't believe you can make reservation. They have cafe like table, look like first comes first serves
Just wanted to ask how you are handling outdoor dining especially on colder days? Please post a pic if you can.
They have a pretty large section that is covered by an awning, with roll-down plastic available on the street facing sides. There are plexi glass partitions between each table as well as a heater for individual tables which is really warm (good…
Any chance you accommodate GLuten sensitive diners?
I believe you can make any pizza with a gluten-free crust for a $4 fee!
Possibly a stupid question but which emily/emmy pizzeria does the round pizze? I thought it was the west village one but now that only seems to have detroit squares on the menu...
Hello Tommaso! When our West Village location first opened, it did serve delicious round pizzas. Unfortunately, our wood burning oven (fun fact: one of the oldest in NYC),…
Any gluten free options besides salads?
Hello Christine! We are happy to announce we now offer gluten free pizza!! So come on by and give it a try!…
Does this location have the Emmy burger?
Hello Angel, and thank you for your interest in our amazing burgers!! Emily West Village's Burger…
Do they run out of burgers every night? If so, about what time on Friday nights?
Hi Anna, Thank you for your interest in Emily West Village. I've been the manager here for quite some time, and we've never run out of burgers as far as I can remember. You…
Do they allow walk-ins on Friday & Saturday's nights? Reservations for dinner are booked for the next month :/
Hello and thank you for your interest in Emily West Villlage. Yes, we do allow for walk ins. We suggest joining us on the earlier side of the evening, as we do tend to fill up and remain busy through the course of the night. Hope this informaiton…
There is an ink NYC painting of people running toward a glimpse of sunlight in the skyline. I’ve been searching all over to find the name of this artist. Does anyone know who made this painting?
Hello Madison! The picture you are referring to was actually purchased by the owner's parents in 1972 while honeymooning in Greece! Unfortunately, no one here knows who the…
Is there any difference in the food/service/ambiance between eating here and in the sister restaurant in Brooklyn? Samesies or is one significantly better than the other?
I’ve eaten at both. Basically the same exact thing. Go to the location that’s most convenient. They just opened one in the east village too. MAKE reservations that’s your best bet for any of their locations. Gotta get the BURGER!
