Tucked near the chaos of Penn Station, NY Pizza Suprema has ruled Manhattan’s pizza scene since 1964.
Steps from Madison Square Garden, this longtime favorite turns quick pit stops into lifelong loyalties with thin crust, bold sauce, and top‑shelf cheese, delivered with remarkable consistency in a city overflowing with great pies.
Why Locals Love NY Pizza Suprema
-
Perfected basics: Thin, char‑kissed crust, balanced sauce, and premium cheese hit the mark every time.
-
Unmatched consistency: Crowds return because the quality never wavers.
