UWS Pizza Joint Named As One Of The 12 Best Slices In The City

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Incredible pizza is truly an institution in New York City, and one Upper West Side joint just got named one of the best in the five boroughs.

Sal & Carmine Pizza on 2671 Broadway, near the corner of West 102nd Street, recently got named one of the "Top 12 Neighborhood Pizza Slices" by Eater New York's Robert Sietsema.

Eater is a popular food website that provides a wide array of news and reviews for New York City restaurants.

"The crust is utilitarian, devoid of flashiness but totally getting the job done, while the sauce is subtly flavorful without announcing itself, and the ample good cheese threatens to mix with the sauce so it becomes virtually one idealized entity," Sietsema wrote in his rankings.

Sal & Carmines first opened on the Upper West Side in 1959, and is best known for its cheese, ricotta, and Margherita slices.

Here are the 11 other pizza slices that Sietsema put on his Eater list:

• White slice at Louie & Ernie's Pizza: Bronx
• Plain cheese slice at Golden Pizza: Bronx
• Plain cheese slice at Marinara Pizza: Manhattan
• Plain cheese slice at Amore Pizzeria: Queens
• Italian sausage Sicilian at NY Pizza Suprema: Manhattan
• White spinach slice at Stella's Pizza: Manhattan
• Ziti slice at Danny's Pizza: Brooklyn
• Plain cheese slice at Rogelio's Pizza: Brooklyn
• Plain cheese slice at Espresso Pizzeria: Brooklyn
• Bacon slice at King's Pizza: Brooklyn
• Lasagna slice at Pizza D'Oro: Staten Island

The West Side Rag first reported on Sal & Carmines getting named to Eater's list of top 12 slices in the city.
