L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele is slinging marinara and margherita pizzas in the West Village.
What is arguably the most famous pizzeria in the world has opened an outpost in the heart of New York City's West Village.
L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele, a historic Naples pizzeria founded in 1870, has long attracted massive crowds at its original shop on Via Cesare Sersale, where tradition reigns supreme. There are only two pizzas on the menu: marinara (a tomato pie with oregano and garlic) and margherita (tomato and mozzarella). The crowds have only continued to swell since Julia Roberts declared in 2010's Eat Pray Love, during a scene at Da Michele: "I'm having a relationship with this pizza."
The pizzeria's first US location opened in Hollywood in 2019, but this is its first venture east. At the sleek new NYC location, which opened in December, the menu is rounded out with a few more pizzas (including a popular diavolo pie with salami), a selection of pastas, gorgeous salads, and a number of fried dishes like fritto misto and fried zucchini flowers, their centers oozing with cheese. On a recent visit, a server lets me know that the handmade spaghetti Nerano, featuring zucchini, Parmigiano, pecorino, and basil, is Stanley Tucci's favorite pasta on the menu.
