Just across the street from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, NY Pizza Suprema has been serving up some of the best slices in New York City since 1964.
What started as a humble counter-serve spot has become a must-visit for pizza lovers, attracting locals, tourists, and food critics alike.
Known for its crispy-yet-chewy crust, zesty house-made sauce, and perfectly balanced cheese, NY Pizza Suprema consistently ranks among the top pizzerias in NYC—without the gimmicks or fanfare. It’s all about the pie.
At NY Pizza Suprema, the spotlight is on quality ingredients and classic technique. The dough is made fresh daily, the sauce is slow-simmered, and the cheese is perfectly melted every time. But this isn’t just a place for plain cheese (although theirs is top-tier).
Favorites include:
The Plain Slice – The perfect ratio of sauce to cheese, with a thin but sturdy crust. A NYC essential.
Upside Down Slice – A square Sicilian slice with the cheese under the sauce, crispy edges, and a cult following.
Pepperoni Slice – Topped with crispy, cupped pepperoni that delivers flavor and crunch in every bite.
Margherita Slice – Fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil over vibrant tomato sauce.
Suprema Special – Loaded with sausage, peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are also available, making it a crowd-pleaser for all dietary needs.
NY Pizza Suprema keeps things simple. You walk in, grab a tray, pick your slice (or three), and enjoy at one of the standing counters or small tables inside. Service is fast and friendly, with staff who know how to keep things moving—perfect for a quick lunch before a train or a bite after a show.
The pizzeria has been featured on numerous food blogs, YouTube reviews, and pizza rankings, often listed as one of NYC’s top 10 slices—despite staying low-key and independent.
