About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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 :)

    We love Emily. One of the best burgers in the city. And the Detroit style pizza is a great sharing plate. Cozy village vibe and great service.

    TLDR: I really wanted to love Pizza Loves Emily, but if Emily really loved pizza (or burgers, or hot fries for that matter), she wouldn’t eat here — that is for sure. We started with the Caesar salad, which was actually quite good — crisp lettuce and a fresh, flavorful dressing. Unfortunately, that was the high point. Before we even got a chance to dig into the salad, our burgers were brought out — maybe three minutes later. I mentioned to the server that we had just gotten our starter, and he said “oh sorry,” but left the plates anyway. By the time we got to the burgers, they were soggy and barely warm. The fries had great seasoning but were ice cold. Our server checked on us once early on and then didn’t glance in our direction for another 45 minutes. No water refills, no check-in, nothing. The pacing and attentiveness were completely off. Disappointing experience overall.

    Service was challenging. Four people, all of our entrees were delivered separately and spaced out far enough that we finished one after another. Very odd. Runners brought items to the wrong table twice - it was multiple issues unfortunately and for the cost of the experience very disappointing. It was our anniversary and we hoped to stay for dessert and drinks but it was such a bummer we finished our night elsewhere.
