Saint Pizza

Sliding a slice off a communal table downtown has its appeal, but Saint Pizza on Avenue B keeps it simple, too. After you pass the corner bodega the red awning drops into view—think square-cut pies with sturdy crusts rather than gimmicks. Vegan and vegetarian guests can point to the same menu without hesitation, while families weigh the kids’ options without detours. The block outside stays busy, but dogs still catch quick pats from their owners before finishing a crust.

A quick call ahead simplifies timing, (646) 398-8250, if the stoop is full and you’d rather wait inside with a water glass. From cracked-open doors you can sometimes smell yeast and charred tomato before you remember you never checked the map—easy mistake on this stretch of Manhattan side streets. Follow Avenue B down to the same block and you’ll find their exact spot; the link spells each number: directions. The pizza stays hot, the line keeps moving, and the next stop becomes yours to decide.
