• Pizzeria • West Village

Booked 52 times today

A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

We went for lunch. The place is great. Food and service were very good. Prices were good also.They have a very large menu…Italian and various fish entrees with many appetizers to choose from. They have valet parking right next to the restaurant. While the place is upscale the prices are reasonable. Since the place is upscale I would dress accordingly. It’s a great restaurant with a wonderful ambiance, delicious food and first class service. We definitely will be going back.
