My Favorite Pizza in all of New York!

My favorite pizza I’ve ever had in New York, is at Sunnyside Pizza in (you guessed it) Sunnyside, NY.

Good prices, vibes, the workers are very nice and efficient and the food is excellent!

Make sure you try a slice with their sesame crust! Game changer.

Love the quality and atmosphere I suggest you go if you’re running around NY looking for good slices!

(We got the knots as well and they were just as delicious!)

... Read moreOkay, so you've heard me rave about Sunnyside Pizza, but let's dive into why this spot truly earned its place as my top New York pizza pick! First off, that sesame crust? Seriously, it's not just a gimmick; it’s a revelation. Imagine that classic, perfectly chewy New York slice, but with this incredible, subtle nutty aroma and a slight crunch from the toasted sesame seeds. It adds such a unique depth of flavor that elevates even a simple plain cheese slice to something extraordinary. You really have to experience it to understand what a game-changer it is. And while the sesame crust is a must-try, don't stop there! I often get their classic cheese, but I've also seen their display case (which is always brimming with delicious choices, by the way!) featuring tempting options like chicken pizza and other specialty toppings. Honestly, every pizza I’ve tried from Sunnyside Pizza has been top-notch. And those garlic knots? They’re soft, garlicky, and absolutely perfect for dipping in their marinara sauce. It’s hard to resist ordering a side of them every single time. Beyond the food, the vibe at Sunnyside Pizza is just so authentic and welcoming. It's got that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel – bustling, friendly, and efficient. The staff are genuinely nice, making you feel right at home whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or settling in for a meal. It's the kind of place where locals clearly feel comfortable, and as a visitor, you instantly get a sense of that genuine NYC community spirit. If you're wondering about making the trip to Sunnyside, NY, let me tell you, it's absolutely worth it. Sunnyside is a charming, vibrant neighborhood, and finding gems like this pizza spot just adds to its appeal. Plus, if you’re local or staying nearby, you’ll be happy to know that they offer FREE DELIVERY! I’ve seen their signs and it’s super convenient. So whether you walk in, like I often do, or get it delivered, you're in for a treat. My advice? Go during off-peak hours if you want to avoid a crowd, but honestly, even when it's busy, the service is quick. Don't forget to look for the iconic green awning and bright neon 'PIZZA' sign that lights up the street at night – it's a true neighborhood landmark. You might even spot the nearby 'VIRAJ MART CONVENIENCE STORE' adding to the local charm. Trust me, if you’re searching for an unforgettable slice of New York pizza, make your way to Sunnyside Pizza. You won't regret it!
