Gotham\u2019s biggest cheese, according to The Best Pizza Awards<\/a>, is the critically-acclaimed Una Pizza Napoletana<\/a>.<\/p>\n Anthony Mangieri\u2019s popular restaurant as been a regular presence on the generally well-regarded list, but this year, it moved up 11 places, beating out other sacred New York spots and claiming the real victory \u2014\u00a0best pizza in the U.S. (Take that, New Jersey<\/a> and New Haven<\/a>.) <\/p>\n Una Pizza\u2019s classic Margherita pizza is among the most popular pies the restaurant offers. Helayne Seidman<\/p>\n Mangieri brought his first pie to the city in 2004, and has spent the past twenty-odd years perfecting his recipes in various locations both in and out of the city.<\/p>\n This award-winning spot keeps it simple with classic flavor combinations like Margherita, Bianca and Marinara pies \u2014 no hot honey slices or ranch-related offerings, as Mangieri joked in an April Fool\u2019s Instagram post earlier this year.<\/p>\n When it opened, Una Pizza Napoletana was a staple spot in the East Village. After a pandemic-era detour to New Jersey, the restaurant continues to draw lengthy lines and rave reviews in its current home on the Lower East Side<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mangieri\u2019s family originates from Salerno, south of Naples. Helayne Seidman<\/p>\n Despite the restaurant\u2019s success, the Garden State native refuses to franchise, sell or even delegate dough-making responsibilities.<\/p>\n \u201cNo one makes the dough in the restaurant, 25 years later, except for me,\u201d Mangieri previously told The Post<\/a>.\u201cEvery single pizza that people eat, I still make the dough in the morning myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Other New York addresses making the cut included Lucali, Stretch Pizza, Don Antonio and Mama\u2019s Too. <\/p>\n Another trendy local fave, L\u2019industrie<\/a>, was handed a special 2025 Street Pizza Award \u2014 in addition to its number 34 ranking on the main list.<\/p>\n
