New York and Sicilian slices offer two styles to compare in one East Village stop. A useful addition to a Lower Manhattan pizza walk, rather than another long-reservation dinner. Added to Eater’s October 2026 guide and named in an October Reddit discussion. This is a current recommendation, not a verified 2026 opening. Paid food; check the venue’s current menu and hours before travelling.

A late-night Lower East Side slice stop for vodka, pesto and pepperoni combinations. Pair it with a nearby neighborhood plan rather than crossing the city for an unspecified “best” slice. New to Eater’s October 2026 shortlist, with fresh community mentions. The shop itself opened earlier; it is not a new 2026 opening. Paid food; check the venue’s current menu and hours before travelling.

Naturally leavened Neapolitan pies make this a seated Park Slope dinner option. The October aperitivo update gives families another reason to check the early-evening menu. Added to Eater’s October guide; the restaurant introduced weekday aperitivo on 7 Oct. Check that the offer is still running. Paid food; check the venue’s current menu and hours before travelling.
