Pizza very good, also the dessert a very Italian tiramisù. Beers super. Congratulations for the special atmosphere (yes Italian atmosphere and we are Italians!) and the kindness and professionality of the staff. Adelaide was great. Excellent service. For our wedding's anniversary they offered us the tiramisù and also they dedicated a love Italian song very famous. Grazie!

Upper East Side

About the restaurant

Emmy Squared has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies. The pizza here is rectangular and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy, cheesy crust. Beyond pizza, the menu includes salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich)! Did we mention this is Emmy Squared’s third location? The original location is in Brooklyn :) Full service bar, local drafts & wine selection.

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 :)

I recently visited and was thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious, with each bite bursting with flavor. The ambiance was just right, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. To top it off, the young waiter was lovely, providing excellent service with a friendly and attentive demeanor. Highly recommend this place for a delightful meal!

About the restaurant

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 love loved love the hotboi signature - you must be a fan of savory spicy and sweet wrapped up in one. The crust was delicious and had a unique taste. The vibe was energetic there are two video game machines - music was a little loud and they had great cocktail selections. Garden salad was extremely fresh!
