• Pizzeria • West Village

Booked 48 times today

A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

Honestly the best birthday Meal I have had. The food was amazing and well proportioned. The restaurant itself was breathtakingly beautiful, very demure. And the best part was Dion, our waiter. He was exceptionally polite and charismatic. What a beautiful person and what an amazing experience. I will definitely be going again next time im in NY.

My sister and I are having a Girl's Weekend and we came here for brunch. We reserved an igloo and it was so adorable, heated nicely, and such a nice space. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the music--so loud. The host stand was amazing and Adam, our server, was fantastic. It'a a beautiful space with a great menu. We had a wonderful time.
