• Pizzeria • West Village
Booked 76 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 :)

Guests can casually walk into the first floor bar room, known as The Wallace Room, for the acclaimed Brixton Burger or find their way upstairs to The Dining Room for a more elevated experience with dishes served tableside like Dover Sole with Sauce Meuniere and Côte de Boeuf with bordelaise jus as well as signature dishes like Branzino en Papillote and Crescent Duck.
