• Pizzeria • West Village

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 :)

Thanksgiving dinner was the best! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, cranberry sauce, carrots and corn bread. A crab cake to start and pumpkin pie to finish. Great service, historic venue. Couldn't ask for anything better!

The Autumn salad and rack of lamb were delicious! My friends ordered the steak and cod and said they enjoyed their dinners too. The Wine selection is a little sparse but we ordered a Meomi Pino Noir which was very good. The service was excellent. Charming and cozy restaurant for this time of year!

Our server Kelly was the best! Friendly and attentive without being overly being so. She went above and beyond when they comped a dessert AND added a free one because it came out late. The ambiance was great. Food was good but the overall experience was capped by her welcome attention to detail and genuine friendliness. Thanks and will definitely be back in the future here! The fish branzini and steak was perfect! Thanks for making our small reunion memorable.
