• Pizzeria • West Village
Booked 36 times today
A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

    This was hands down, one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. The waitress who sang to me for my birthday was gorgeous, friendly, and kind. I wish I had the money to give her a larger tip, but I've vowed to go back and consistently bring people. I am so happy the owner took the risk to open this during COVID-19—superb black and brown space. As a writer and artist, I felt deeply inspired after leaving. It felt like home.

    Love this new Indian bistro! This place has a great buzz and feels wonderfully more New York and chicer than its Curry Hill cousins. The food is delicious and authentic, and the service is excellent. Syed, the manager, checked in with us frequently to be sure we were fully taken care of and enjoying our meal. Yes, we were, yes, we did, and for that, we'll be back again very soon!

    A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
