Basic Bar & Pizza

"This bustling East Village restaurant and bar is one of the only places in town doing New Haven-style thin-crust pizza. Cooked in a brick oven, the pizzas ranges from a signature white pie topped with mashed potatoes (don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it) to build-your-own creations." - Darlene Horn, Candice Woo

"This pizza parlor, or warehouse, has a great industrial vibe and pumps out a simple yet satisfying menu of flatbread pizzas, salads, and drinks. Large roll-up garage doors keep the space light, cool, and welcoming on hot days. Pull up a chair, shoot some pool, and enjoy a warehouse that has obviously been a lot of interesting things in its lifetime. And then go back at night when it transforms into a popular hotspot until 2:00am." - Fifty & Fifty

"The pizza is the focus at this pre-game hot spot with the menu specializing in wood-fired pizzas. The pizzas have thin but chewy crusts with a choice between small or large. The build-your-own options gives a choice of “red pies” or “white pies” with Parmesan or mozzarella, or pick one of nine with pre-selected ingredient combinations." - Darlene Horn
