La Pizza by Tarallucci e Vino

It is a tiny spot, but makes for great takeaway (picnic in Union Square). There’s a good selection of slices and the focaccia style is a unique flair that must be tried. Get here before it goes mainstream!! (The gentleman cut each pizza in half for us to share without being prompted. What a gesture!)

Such a cute little spot right off Union Square park, perfect for a quick bite! The crust is perfectly crispy yet soft on the inside, with just the right amount of chew. Toppings are fresh and generously applied, making every bite satisfying. The service is quick and friendly, and despite the fast pace, the quality never seems compromised. They also cater!! Definitely coming back!

This was insanely good. The crust elevates this pizza from great to amazing. Also I really like how the bottom of the pizza has a nice bite to it — the rectangular pan it’s cooked on gives it a texture I haven’t really tasted in other NY pizzas. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Fun little walk up slice bar. Loved the Salsiccia Ricotta E Miele slice. Look forward to coming back to try others. Genuine Roman style pizza.

The best authentic Roman pizza in NYC is crafted by the talented Chef Alessandro Fortini, a culinary artist from a lineage of Roman bakers. His pizzas feature a perfectly crispy crust—neither too thin nor too thick—and an array of delicious toppings, including both red and white options. My personal favorites are the Fortini (mozzarella, burrata, guanciale, rosemary, truffle oil) and the Salsiccia (Italian sausage, ricotta, and hot honey). They’re so exceptional that I had to ask Chef Fortini about the ingredients! As a regular at Tarallucci e Vino—renowned for its delightful breakfast, lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and Happy Hour —I’m thrilled that La Pizza is now part of this beloved spot. It’s a fantastic addition to an already stellar lineup!
