| Just a handful of places pop to mind when we are asked where to find the most authentic New York pizza, and this East Harlem landmark is one of them. Patsy’s claims to be the first to use a coal-fired pizza oven when it opened in the ’30s, which is the key to baking that perfect crust. Today, it’s illegal to build coal brick ovens---one of the reasons most pizza-makers’ attempts to achieve those authentic crusts fail. Patsy’s thin crust manages to be both crispy and chewy. Topped with a tangy, homemade tomato sauce and a variety of traditional toppings, it’s a pizza among the city’s best. If you enjoy a pie while Rat Pack-era tunes play, you’re almost sure to sail away on a nostalgia trip. |
