Came here for lunch on a Monday afternoon (day before 4th of July, so not your typical Monday) to find the place totally empty. The service was fast and friendly. While I'd imagine it isn't always this quiet, I get the impression you'll rarely run into waits here. If you're looking for a reasonably consistent, sit down, Detroit Style pizza place in the city with a wide variety of options Emmy Squared is exactly what you're looking for. With that said, it is about as expensive as you'll find for Detroit style. I'd say they've gone from a go to option to more of a special occasion spot The most significant ding I'd give on the pizza quality is that the crust is more charred than crispy. You don't really get the caramalized cheese taste you usually expect from a Detroit Style pizza. I was pretty in between on whether this is a 3 or 4 star spot, but I'd say the comfortable location, wide variety of pies and non pizza options push it to be a 4 star experience. With all of that said, I think you're better off looking a few neighborhoods downtown for a go to Detroit style spot, if you're willing to forgo sit down. read more

Absolutely loved the pizza. Our server Alexia was phenomenal and on top of everything. Really made sure our group was well taken care of, was quite fast and efficient. Definitely will be going back there with friends when I get the chance. read more

Absolute fantastic food and service. You come for the pizza but stay for the burger! I can see why it's won awards! Sneaky good dish is also the Brussel sprout salad. Can't say enough good things about this place. The staff were always checking on us and answering any questions we had. Plus the sesame seed crust. Amazing. read more

So many vegetarian friendly options available at Emmy Squared Pizza! We tried the "Angel" (ricotta, mushrooms, truffle mushroom cream) and the "MVP" (house made vodka sauce, red sauce, garlic parsley pesto, sesame seed crust) and they were both delicious. Their service was excellent! They do reservations online for dine in and do delivery too. Check their app for occasional delivery promos. read more

Awkward! Looks fancy rap music blaring. Manager almost walked into me. Didn't say a word. I said hi to the cook. He ignored me. Awkward place. I do not recommend going here. The entire restaurant was completely empty and I was the only potential customer in the place at 11:30 on a work day downtown New York City. I can't comment on the food because it was so awkward in there, I just walked out. read more

Came here with friends after a show on Broadway b/c we were craving pizza. I was surprised by how fancy this location is. Granted it was a Saturday night but it was quite dark. Service was attentive. We got a side of waffle fries and the Colony pizza and both were SO good. The fries were perfectly seasoned and fried, not greasy at all, crispy....I've been craving waffle fries since! The Colony pizza was perfect too: we loved the combination of the salty pepperoni, the slight heat of the jalapenos, and the sweetness of the honey. Love detroit style pizza so would highly recommend! read more

I had the Le Big Matt Burger and the Zia Fries. The burger was tasty, but nothing unique in my opinion. The sauce and the flavor of the burger didn't really shine through. It says it was a spicy sauce, but I didn't get any of that. It was still enjoyable. The Zia Fries were crispy, with a nice creamy cheese topping. Definitely comes in a big portion size. Its a good place to stop by around Hell's Kitchen read more

I visited this place shortly after it first opened. The service wasn't the best as they were still trying to figure everything out. It took a long time for our food to come out, and I think they forgot to bring a plate out until we reminded them. I ordered the Le Big Matt Burger. It's not as good as the burger from Emily West Village, but it was still pretty good. The pretzel bun and waffle fries are good as well. Someone in my party ordered the pizza, and I had a bite. It was delicious, and I'd get the pizza next time I come. This location doesn't have much seating, so I highly recommend making reservations. Giving it 3 stars for the service, but the food has the potential. read more

This square pizza is EVERYTHING ! I can't convey how good the crust and cheese are! The crust with the cheese turns to a crispy chewy goodness on the edges, yet the middle is pillow-ey soft, and the cheese in the middle is soft and gooey....all the ways cheese is good. AND they have gluten free crusts for those that need it. My friend had the Hawaiian gluten free pizza (pepperoni and pineapple), and said you can't tell it's gluten free! I had the margherita pizza. It was divine. I don't know if you're supposed to eat it with a fork since they gave us plates and forks, but I ate it with my hands. Lol. My other friend had the Big Mac burger with extra pickles and waffle fries. She said it was a little spicy but so good. I think the pickles were spicy. We all had the fries. The crisp and the flavoring on the fries was oh so good. Other details I liked: good music, great friendly staff, AND...the good small pebble ice! TIP: These pizzas are for sharing, they're too big to eaten alone. Even though the six pieces may seem small, they're thick. (Or get one and take it home for later. I imagine it would heat up amazingly well in the air fryer.) read more

Emmy's was great!!!! We walked right in and were seated immediately. Food was amazing and Mark was the BEST!! Highly recommend!

*TAKEOUT REVIEW* we dashed Emmy squared pizza which is Detroit style thick pizza and we were excited to finally understand why Emmy's is so popular. We got the MVP which was a vegetarian vodka, marinara, pesto pizza. The pizza is good enough for about two people to share and by the time we got it, it was slightly colder. I definitely recommend throwing it in the oven for a bit before consuming. The pizza was good, I wish it was spicier though since the red pepper flakes weren't helping much. The burnt cheese crust was actually delicious but the pizza lacked flavor despite it being three types of flavors in one. Overall Emmy's is decent but I'd probably just stick to NY pizza in NYC or grab a slice fresh. read more

The staff was very welcoming and accommodating, and the pizza was a 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend and will be here again!

Emma was the best server that I've had in a long while!! She's perfectly attentive providing just the right amount of timely service. She is so friendly and was great at interacting with the whole table, including all ages. Her recommendations were wonderful and delicious. The Ceaser salad was fresh and perfect for sharing. The Miranda pizza had just the right amount of spice with fresh dough and arrived hot and delicious. I would give her and this place a 10 out of 10!!! read more

Emmy Squared is a Detroit style pizzeria restaurant in hell's Kitchen. i was between appointments and i saw it getting to the time of a late lunch-early dinner. It is slightly below street level and you walk into an inviting atmosphere. it was not busy the time I got there so I was seated immediately and a bottle of water arrived momentarily to my table. I looked over the menu and decided on the classic pizza-I could have upgraded to the margherita [this added basil and burrata] but I decided to go with the classic. I decided to stick with the water as my beverage. My pizza arrived shortly after. It was thick, almost on par with focaccia bread and looked cheesy and delicious. It is thicker than the typical Sicilian style pizza and more breadlike. The edges are caramelized and the tomato sauce has a sweeter taste. My order could have been shared by two people. In summary, the service was prompt, the music was not too loud-you could carry on a conversation easily, they offer vegetarian options, however, it is pricey for pizza. It got much busier closer to the time that i was leaving. I would recommend and return. Make sure you go hungry. The pizza was delicious. read more

If there were an Olympic event for restaurant service, Gertrude would have taken home the gold, the silver, and the complimentary bread basket. From the moment we sat down, she anticipated our every need like a psychic. My water glass never saw the bottom, my food arrived with the speed of a well-oiled kitchen machine, and she somehow managed to crack jokes that made me snort-laugh without spilling my drink (a true miracle). Gertrude deserves a raise, a trophy, and possibly a national holiday named after her. And let's talk about the food--absolute perfection. The pizza was so good I briefly considered writing it a love letter, and the burger? Juicy, flavorful, and likely the reason I'll be dreaming about this meal for weeks. If you're lucky enough to sit in her section, prepare for an evening of impeccable service, unmatched wit, and maybe even a life-changing restaurant experience. 10/10 read more

Best Vegan Pizza in New York!!!! Decided that this trip to New York (Manhattan) was going to include vegan pizza. My usual stop is the exceptional Vegan on the Fly, but I wanted to find a place solely focused on creating the perfect pizza. Here's the thing about vegan pizza: the cheese is simply not the same; the star of the show must be the crust and sauce. Yes, interesting toppings help, but a really good base is needed. How many times have my fellow vegans ordered pizza just to have the bottom literally fall out, leaving a plate-full of goo? Back to NYC: I spent nearly an hour reviewing options close to Times Square. Repeatedly, I found myself drawn to the delicious-looking Emmy Squared Pizza. But wait, Detroit-style pizza in New York? This is what intrigued me about Emmy Squared Pizza: 1) it was founded in Brooklyn; 2) they combine a New York-style grandma pie with the Detroit style; and 3) the result is like a fluffy focaccia. Yummy! Plus, the brand of vegan Mozzarella they use is one of the better ones. Although they are not a vegan restaurant, their messaging said, "All of our pizzas can be made vegan!" Yes, that's what vegans are used to when eating out: substitution after substation. However, Emmy Squared Pizza offers a couple of options tailored to vegans. Once I found the "Artie Bucco" pie, I was sold! The ingredients were: vegan mozzarella, caramelized onions, garlic confit, and basil. Around 2:00 pm on a Friday, I arrived at their Hell's Kitchen location, where I was warmly greeted by Ian. I shared with him that I did my research and was thrilled to find Emmy Squared Pizza. I opened my menu, but where was the Artie Bucco? Ian explained that the vegan options were routinely updated. I asked if they had the ingredients to make an Artie Bucco. Without hesitation, he offered to ask. Chris, the manager, happened to walk up, overhearing our conversation. He needed to check on the garlic confit, and was available, they would gladly make an Artie Bucco for me. Minutes later, he confirmed they had it. Simultaneously, Chef passed by, and Chris said, "That's who will be making your pizza!" During my wait, Ian and I had a chat about how he decided to go vegan two weeks ago. I asked how it was going, and he said, "Great." That's a pretty good feat, since the initial start is often difficult. Chris stopped by my table and asked, "You know the Artie Bucco is a white pie, right?" No, I had missed that important part. He immediately offered to re-make the pizza. Although a kind offer, I said red sauce on the side would be just fine. Moments later, it arrived: the best tasting vegan pizza ever. The crust was delicious. True to Detroit style, the edges were lightly browned and crispy from the pan. I should have asked what they used instead of real butter, because I could detect a slightly-sweet richness. The crust was similar to focaccia, but not too thick. You know how your teeth sink and sink into a Chicago-style pizza? The Emmy Squared Pizza crust was much thinner than that and offered a nice bite. The sauce was exceptional, bursting with fresh tomato flavor and had the perfect seasoning. The amount of cheese was flawless, providing the exact right amount of creaminess. As expected, the garlic confit, caramelized onion, and basil were complimentary. Although the toppings were simple, they provided a symphony of complex flavors. The size of my pizza was "regular," meaning there were six, good-sized squares. I could only eat two, leaving leftovers for dinner and a snack. Score! I told all three gentlemen (Ian the server, Chris the manager, and Chef) how much I appreciated their extra efforts. Their kindness was the highlight of my New York trip. As I walked out the door, Ian said, "Vegan power!" I laughed and said I'd see them again when I return in April. Emmy Squared Pizza is a gem. Superior food with excellent, caring staff. I highly recommend it. read more

we came in this Saturday around 2 pm. The hostess/waitress/bartender wasn't at the front and we had our autistic brother with us who really needed to sit. Restaurant has maybe 2 tables sat (1 two top and 1 four too) and we actually has a 2 pm reservation. So we seat ourselves (bc there was no please wait to be seated sign) and start waiting patiently. She comes flying out the back trying to get us to stand up and wait outside again (???) so our brother is stimming bc she got loud and I walk with her to the front to apologize and say hey we didn't know but we have a reservation and enough in our party to sit here so can we just stay instead of moving him she somehow gets more irrationally irritated (???) and so we decided to just leave without eating bc it was clearly a long day for her and she was going to make it our problem. I hope that waitress has the day she deserves and management reconsiders letting her be alone on the floor bc she clearly can not handle 2-3 tables in a nearly empty restaurant alone. read more

Came here for a pre-show dinner and drinks. The place and the ambiance was so comforting like you were at your grandmas kitchen waiting for dinner. Cute table tops with dim lighting, music was high enough to enjoy but low enough to carry on a conversation. Was greeted immediately upon arrival and my reservation was checked (I made a resy because of 1. Location 2. It was Valentine's Day 3. Time). Although they did not have any happy hour specials like they did in the summer the server did suggest these 2 drinks off their seasonal menu. I know one was vodka/Prosecco based and the other was tequila based. The pizza!!! Was amazing perfectly fluffy, soft and chewy! The pesto was garlicky which matched up beautifully with the creaminess of the vodka sauce and the sweetness of the marinara. Wanted to try the roni that day but it was Ash Wednesday so we couldn't have meat. The pizza is Detroit style and easily shareable amongst 2 ppl. Will definitely be back! read more

This is our favorite pizza in NY. We ate here Saturday night and Sauna waited on us. Great guy.

Delicious Detroit-style pizza. Great food and company. My friends Ben and Jenna had just moved back to NYC on Halloween and this is one of Jenna's favorite pizza places' sister restaurant (Pizza Loves Emily in Brooklyn). The sauce is really great and it comes in a square pan. Jenna heard the burgers were good, so we got one and split it so they were like sliders. Delicious! Food: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Experience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Good For: Friends! Recommends: Patio Pounder, a quarter of a burger. read more

Do not get delivery from this location. I've eaten in many times and enjoy fresh pizza with amazing tasty toppings. I recently got delivery which came on time however the pizza was awful. It was dry, the cheese was overcooked and not cheesy and the sauce felt like it came out of a jar with no seasoning. Very disappointed. read more

Delicious deep dish pizzas. Great gluten free options. Excellent service, fast and friendly, from Kelly F. She suggested her favorite, the Big Hawaiian Pizza, a blend of sweet and spicy, a perfect choice. Clean and cozy environment. read more

I was SO excited when I walked past an Emmy Squared in my neighborhood, and was wondering how I never noticed before. Turns out they literally just opened, and I just got lucky for coming on their first day! They didn't have their liquor license as of 9/16/22 so they were primarily doing takeout and delivery, but we were able to dine in after asking the host and confirming we didn't need any drinks to enjoy their pizza. Service was AMAZING, from the host to the server and the managers in the back, everyone really made sure that our dinner was a great one. As for the meal, I think it's common knowledge that Emily's and Emmy Squared have delicious food. This location was no different, every item we ordered exceeded all expectations (and we had pretty high expectations). Crispy Chicken Crunchers - they actually gave us this on the house since it was opening night and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! I'm usually not much of a buffalo sauce person, so this sriracha glaze was a nice and sweet change from your typical chicken appetizer. The ranch that it came with was herby and amazing and we used it for the rest of the meal. Spinach and Asparagus Salad - Great flavor from the champagne vinaigrette and nice crunch from the radish and asparagus. Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich - I love Nashville hot chicken and this was probably one of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've had (second only to Howlin' Rays in LA). It wasn't very spicy but had great flavor and ridiculous crunch. It was also HUGE, which two big pieces of chicken that extended way past the bun. Impossible Ang - We were able to sub the impossible meatballs for sausage so I guess this was a possible ang lol. The ricotta and mozzarella combo was amazingly cheesy and the banana peppers were perfect to cut through the richness. read more

We made our second visit to Emmy's in Hell's Kitchen. Keea, our server was on top as always. For several of us, the pizza has become our absolute favorite!!! The crust is tasty, and the sauce has the best flavor and meshes well with the rest of the pie. We will definitely be back. read more

Keea is a great server! great place for drinks and food! She made a delicious drink and the food was fresh and quick.

We just arrived from California early this afternoon and decided to stop by around 4. It was pretty quiet and we were greeted and sat quickly. I had The Colony pizza that has pepperoni,jalapenos and honey. It is apparent they take great care and value the quality of their food; it was perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Their menu has some very exciting and unique options;that certainly make a person want to come back to try more! My partner had the Good Paulie and really enjoyed his as well! It is apparent the manager of this location is passionate about his work! He was incredibly personable,kind, and attentive. The interior decor is warm and welcoming. Coming off of peak hours allowed us a very positive, delicious and relaxed experience after a long day of travel! read more

The pizza was absolutely amazing and our server Mark was fantastic! Highly recommend!

It was excellent food and excellent service our waitress was outstanding! The restaurant was as clean and very modern

Emmy squared is a reliable and delicious pizza place. Their Detroit style pizzas are filling and have great toppings. I've tried several pizzas but my go-to is the Colony, which is not too spicy despite the jalapeños. The pepperonis are well balanced with the sweetness of the honey. I also love the hot chicken wedge salad. Definitely not healthy despite having the word salad in there but such a great treat. I usually just do take out which is quite and easy. They have all the takeaway orders ready on a shelf for you to grab. read more

Emmy squared is my go-to pre-show spot! We've had Emma as our waitress a few times now and she's been amazing, 10/10!!! The Big Ang pizza is a must! read more
