    Seasoned Waffle Fries
    Yarn Y.

    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.

    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

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes, through Resy.

    Gluten free pizza?

    Yes, gluten free pizza. Upcharge $4.

    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?

    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),…

    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!

    Is the burger available during lunch?

    Yes!

I ordered via Uber Eats this time, and MAN -- I was blown away. I honestly thought that they had screwed up and sent me a gluten version. I checked the order and receipt. It was so good -- the crust so chewy with bite -- but light and airy and tight -- the cheese and toppings all great and fresh and delicious. It tasted like an awesome piece of NYC pizza. I was so happy. I did some Claude sleuthing -- and think I'm onto their magic with the crust -- and am excitedly going to experiment in my home kitchen in the coming weeks (Neapolitan oven, be damned!).

RIGHT BY THE DOOR. Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!
