    I've had Chicago deep dish pizza twice before: one at the gold standard Lou Malnati's and once in the O'Hare food court. My experience at Emmett's fell somewhere in between those two precedents. Like others I suspect, we grabbed two bar seats here after the wait at Raku was too long. The homemade potato chips we ordered during the 30 minute wait for the pizza were excellent. I would definitely come back to have these again with a beer. As for the pizza, the structural integrity post-cut left something to be desired, but the flavors of the slightly sweet sauce were very good. We ordered with fresh garlic as a topping, which might have been a mistake, as the odor was a bit too strong.

    What a swanky kind of place. We got lucky and got placed in the 2 seater near the open window. Felt like sitting at a cafe in Europe. I love how the menu isn't massive: they got dogs, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, and some salads. My husband and I split a Caesar salad, a hot dog, and a deep dish. Note: the menu says 10, 12, and 14 in for the pizza but they told us they no longer do 10in. The Caesar salad was incredible: homemade croutons that have a soft crunch (if you know you know) and PLENTY of grated parm. The hot dog was also excellent! Didn't think a hot dog could blow me away. The bun was poppy seeded and super soft (maybe steamed). And then the star of the show: the deep dish pizza in NYC. It does take like 30 mins, so make sure to get an appetizer. So worth it. Loveddd the crust. A seriously delicious pie. This place felt special - the vibes were good. Great music playlist also.

    A wonderful Cabernet at Emmett's after a few hours walking the streets of NYC.

    The bartenders were great & made sure my bottle was fresh. It was a wonderful end to the afternoon.

    Was able to get a spot for 2 at the bar on a Friday night without a reservation by showing up at 6:30! (I would highly recommend getting a reservation if you can though!) Pizza was fantastic , we just got a pepperoni pie, but then got hot honey and some of the paprika ranch to dip it in and it was fantastic. Love the little pizza timer they bring out to make sure that the pizza is a perfect level of doneness! They no longer have outdoor seating so the seats are pretty limited, but it's a super cute restaurant, perfect for a date night, and also a great spot to bring someone from out of town for a classic NYC pizza experience!

    I think this is the only spot in NYC for authentic Chicago Deep Dish. The pizza was solid. I was also so pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the Greek salad was. The service was quick. The deep dish takes 30 minutes to bake, which we were told upon ordering. It came out at almost 30 mins on the dot. So that was pretty awesome. The space itself is a bit tight but, I think they do the best they can with the space they have. It's always full because the food speaks for itself!

    Went for late dinner before going out with a group of friends. Food was great! Burger was a fan favorite. No AC which was a bummer but we still had a good time. Casual vibe.

    Deep dish with Sausage and Pepperoni

    Emmett's is my favorite spot for deep-dish pizza in New York. I usually order the classic deep dish with sausage and pepperoni, along with a Caesar salad, and it's more than enough food for 3-4 people. The pizza is rich, hearty, and extremely satisfying, exactly what you want from this style, without feeling overdone. It does take a bit of time to cook, but it's absolutely worth the wait. This is the kind of pizza you plan for, sit back, and enjoy. A go-to when you're craving deep dish done right in NYC.

    The pizza was great. The fries were great and the atmosphere was great! Inside felt well lived in and cozy, the perfect atmosphere for eating such good pizza. The staff was friendly acknowledge and even though they were very busy, they were very attentive. The prices are reasonable, the service is exceptional, And if you are a match book collector like Me, they have really cute ones!

    Chicago Style Hot Dog

    Terrific Chicago style deep dish pizza. Had not had deep dish pizza in NYC since Uno Pizzeria closed so wanted to give Emmett's a try. Started with an Arugula Salad and a Chicago Style Hot Dog but it was the deep dish pizza that was the star. Had one with pepperoni, pineapple and extra cheese and one with sausage and caramelized onions - both were excellent. Very small but lively restaurant with not a lot of tables. Can feel a little cramped when crowded but the pizza makes it worthwhile.

    I can't speak to the service because I had this pizza delivered, but when I've passed by before, this looked like a lively after-work hangout spot. The cheese pull on the deep dish pizza is never-ending. I wish that the tomato sauce was spread more evenly around the pizza, but I found that the sauce slips off anyway as you grab a slice. While this might not be the most convenient pizza to eat, chances are this deep dish pizza will satisfy your deep dish cravings! The crust is toasted perfectly golden and isn't hard. The bread under the sauce and cheese is soft and fluffy.

    If you are a New Yorker who is craving deep dish, Chicago-style pizza, look no further! I grabbed takeout, but the interior was exposed brick walls, tons of people at the bar, and super cozy. My order was on time and perfect. I'll be back!

    We got patio seating outside and it was pretty warm with the heaters. I decided to try their Deep Dish Pizzas since I missed out my chance on trying it in Chicago. It was pretty good but this was definitely a heavy pizza. This Buds For You ($29) - lots of veggies (contains spinach, mushrooms and onions). Well flavored however I still preferred the Meat Lover more. It was more cheesy and I just like meat better. 3 STARS Meat Lover ($33) - lots of meat. Pepperoni, sausage, Italian beef. Very cheesy. I would order this again. 4 STARS. One pie is more than enough for 2 people. We had to packed the rest of the pizzas to go since we couldn't finish it. Service was good. We got water and take out box/bags when requested.

    How have I not reviewed Zou Zou's? It's one of my favorite places. High points:…read more Decor- it's beautiful Service- every time I've been there it's been outstanding. I brought a friend with a specific allergy and everyone involved in service was aware and assured us that dishes didn't contain the offending nuts. Food- I live for their branzino. The duck borek is amazing. My friend who rarely eats meat proclaimed the filet on the skewer as the best steak she's ever had. The cheesecake is phenomenal. I really recommend the chef's menu. You get a sample of everything served family style and at $79 a person, it's a deal considering that if you ordered appetizers, an entree and dessert you'd pay much more than that in any restaurant in Manhattan. I've done that twice and still ended up taking food home. Drink prices are in line with mid-town Manhattan but $12 for a bottle of San Pellegrino is a little excessive. I'd be okay with $8 or $9 but I guess a few bucks in the grand scheme of things is not the end of the world. I've been there a few times and I'll note that I had reservations on a busy Thursday and was seated outside (which was lovely) but then it started raining hard and they were so helpful and gracious in finding us a place to squeeze in on the inside. Really top notch service. I'll also note that I brought a friend from Seattle and her husband is an architect for restaurants and she was wowed by the entire experience, which made me feel great!

    We all know that New York is home to so many great restaurants, yet I can confidently say that Zou…read moreZou's is one of the best. They have a lovely rooftop bar while you wait for a table. Then, when it was finally time to be seated in the dining room, I was so pleased with the upscale, romantic interior. Our server for that night was Ferdian, who was so attentive and had real class service. We made the reservation with OpenTable for 12 and ended up with 13 people. I love that the staff was so accommodating with the last-minute request We did the pre-fixed menu to make things easier. Everything was delicious from the beginning to the end. They were also able to accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free restrictions among those wonderful meals. My favorites were the dips, branzino, and hamachi. duck borek, and the desserts! The grilled pineapple was out of this world. Simple dish with complex flavors. The crunchy cheese cake was delicious too. I had the Road to Jericho cocktail, and it was yummy.
