This is actually a chicago style pizza but the "hot papi" pizza is absoultely insane I had to add it to this list. If you are into spicy foods then this is the style you need to try.

My best friend is Gluten Free and had told me about this place. She said it was the closest thing to real Italian pizza. To my surprise she was absolutely right. I love this place because there Gluten Free Calamari tastes exactly like the real thing.

When I was working and going to college in Manhattan this was the go to spot for me. It's hard to find a place that makes good Linguine Alle Vongole  and this place knows how to do it. Just make sure not to go to the location near times square (not my favorite)

I am sure you already know this is where all the celebrities get spotted at. To be honest I get the hype there Linguine Alle Vongole is really good. I still dream about it. PSA they only accept cash so make sure you got to an ATM beforehand!
