Moody Tongue Pizza

New contender for best dough in NYC! The crust here gives Song e Napule a run for its money. Order: French Onion Pizza (perfection) sits on a crust that rivals the best Neapolitan pies in the city. Fluke Crudo (extraordinary) it's a standout for its flavor and texture. Poke & rice crackers (sublime) Meatballs, eggplant skewers, and mozz sticks. Skip: Provola Pizza (too much cheese, got boring fast) the cheese-to-crust ratio is off, making it feel a bit one-note. Caesar Salad (drowning in dressing) it's just weighed down by too much dressing The beer here is fantastic. Our servers were stellar. The atmosphere is intimate. I'm introducing more friends to Moody Tongue Pizza. Can’t wait to go back and work my way through the rest of the pizza menu.

delicious pizza, likely even top tier. michelin starred brewery too! the space is a little small, although plenty of room between tables. the pizza's are more personal sized but one can definitely be more than enough. service is great, with friendly staff. we'll be going here again sometime!

Great place for happy hour and cozy up in the winter. The staff (shout out Meredith!) are so nice and accommodating. The gluten free pizza is such a treat to have at this level and quality of ingredients. This last visit, we got the artichoke and caramelized onion special but the Margherita is so consistently impressive. The fried mozzarella is a must!!!

(Note: We visited during the soft opening of Pizza Studio Tamaki, which is taking over Moody Tongue.) Silly me. I was too busy eating cod sperm (true story!) when I visited Tokyo, not pizza margherita. If I had, I would've been able to pay...much less...for Tamaki's admittedly tasty, chewy dough. Instead, my wallet wound up here one cold Manhattan night. And paid $8 for one....yes, ONE...piece of Hamachi Crispy Rice. And $10 for one...yes, ONE...piece of Hokkaido Scallop sushi. Sob! The pizzas themselves were about a personal size each, clocking in at ~10" diameter and ~6-7 slices per pie. We tried the Tamaki, which at $28 was a bit more than I'd want to spend for baked cherry tomatoes, smoked mozzarella, pecorino romano, and barely any basil. The 5 Formaggi was a bit more interesting and came with a small pitcher of honey for the salty-sweet crowd--but at $30, I expected more. The most laughable? They capped us at one pizza per person because they didn't have enough of Tamaki dough for more than that. This might be the first time in my life a restaurant has turned DOWN orders. Vibe-wise, they're kind of going about it wrong too. The restaurant is ridiculously dark, all candlelit white tablecloths and black stone countertops. The decor screams snooty Michelin stars when the menu offers....pizza. It just doesn't work. I *might* be convinced to come back if they start offering the unique toppings that their Tokyo menu offers. Might.

This place is absolutely stunning inside! The Diavola pizza was incredible (perfectly crisp and packed with flavor) and the Caesar salad is a definite must-try. Noelle and Nicole were so warm and friendly, and even let us sample a few of their favorite beers. Such a great experience all around! Will be back!

If you’re a big fan of Moody Tongue Sushi, you’ll also become an instant fan of Moody Tongue Pizza. We went hard on the fried goods but had no regrets. The crispy rice is some of the best I’ve ever had. We tried the Salmon and Negi Tori and went back for seconds. The Fish Karaage is fried to perfection - it’s extremely light and comes with a delicious wasabi aioli and fried potatoes. For our fried finale, we went with the Genovese pizza and good lord, I was sad when it ended. This location has an extensive beer list just like the others - the only difference is they do not have liquor. This location is also a bit more spacious than their West Village counterpart making it a bit easier to get a seat at the bar without a reservation. I’d highly recommend stopping here for a meal for an occasion.

Amazing food and drinks. Happy hour deals are great and the food was ready fast. We got the diavola pizza, the crispy rice + beer pairing, and the wings. Everything was delicious! The breading was a little thick for me on the wings but the taste was still good. Would definitely come back

Moody Tongue Pizza is a MUST go. Love sushi in WV and this did not disappoint. Beer is always fab and love the glass presentation. Fried mozz was so crispy and delicious. Tomato carpaccio salad was so unique and hamachi crudo was extremely fresh. Loved the pizza so much and would come back just for that. Can’t wait to try more!

This place is a sleeper!! Let me tell you, the ambiance is exquisite - very chic yet cozy and romantic, the service was top notch and the food - wow it was amazing! 1) Caesars salad - firstly, this was visually stunning. Love the Japanese spin on the dressing with the togarashi seasoning. The dressing was just a little too much but overall it was quite refreshing 2) meatballs - okay, these veal and ricotta meatballs are divine. Moist and flavorful, love the extra Parmesan on top. This is a must get! 3) melazane - the eggplant adds a creamy touch, dough is light and crust is chewy, made exactly how a Neapolitan za should be. 4) beers - they're a brewing company, so you gotta try their beers!! I simply can't wait to come back and try their other items. Would recommend 11/10!

Fancy pizza at a cost- I will have to say their concept of the fried dough pizza is unique--it's a deep fried dough with short rib ragu and strachiatella. It had a little too much yet not enough going for me personally, but my friends enjoyed it for it's daring nature and complex ensemble of flavors and texture. The neopolitan pizza was rather basic--nothing impressive for the price of $22 for a small pie. The crust was soft, which made it easy to eat definitely could be something you could easily scarf down. We had a reservation for dinner and were promptly seated--however after ordering our pizzas we probably waited over half an hour for them to come out so we were without pizza after devouring our appetizer for a while--I thought that was bizarre seeing that the place didn't seem busy. The fish kaarage was unique and tasty. It was reminiscent of fish in chips in a lighter bread coating. The portion was small even though it included some carmalized potatoes (addicting!). Overall for the price, i don't think I would come back. Although the space is elevated, the service was fine, the food was decent at best for a more weighted price tag. If I had a pizza fix I will likely be going elsewhere. This might've been different if it was more of a casual joint, but for the fanciness and fanfare of the establishment it missed the mark for me. Cool concept though!

Great value with the standard Moody Tongue touch for ambiance and attentive service. It's generally tough for Neapolitan pizza to stand out, especially in NYC, but Moody Tongue manages to do so with its Genovese which comes with fried pizza dough. Even if the pizza - which is very affordable ($16-$22) - is not enticing enough, the fish karaage was plenty of food even as an appetizer. We also had the crudo which was refreshing and a good change of pace versus the heavier pizzas. Beer and light ABV cocktails right now but can definitely see the potential there too as Moody Tongue is known as a two star Michelin brewery.

Decided to grab a last minute reservation here. We have been passing it since it opened and couldn't wait to try it. The service was amazing- the bartender was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the menu and was able to offer us great recommendations! The crudo was so fresh and flavorful. The fried mozzarella was a classic fav and the pizza was just perfect! They even gave us special olive oil to dip our crust in! Perfect date night spot or a place for a solid meal even on your own at the bar! We can't wait to come back soon!

I had high expectations for Moody Tongue's "Tokyo style pizza" and it still managed to exceed them! The short rib ragu on fried dough was amazing and went so well with the strachiatella and lemon drizzle. The classic provolone pizza was also perfect on its own and I only wish I got to sample more. The fish karaage appetizer was huge and I'd only recommend getting that if you had an entire group - otherwise it might be filling on its own even before pizza comes out. The ambiance is extremely pretty - unlike a usual pizza restaurant and the service is great! (there is coat check)

Great service and food, was able to get a bar seat and was taken care of by Nathan. Highly recommend the Margherita pizza and meatballs and pairing it with the Pinot noir flavor beer

Giving 3 stars because We really enjoyed the fried dough pizza with meat and stracciatella cheese on top and our server was very nice. However, when we left my husband forgot the take out bag, we noticed pretty immediately and he ran back in to grab it and they had already thrown it out...literally in less than 5 mins which to me seems pretty insane. We came late enough that they didn't need to clear immediately to turn the table but there were still plenty of diners in the restaurant so really unnecessary and common courtesy in my eyes to save for a few mins just in case if you notice someone has left something behind they clearly untended to take, they apologized but the leftovers equated to a whole pizza so I still am quite disappointed since everything else was good.

The food here is amazing, from the top-notch pizza to the eclectic and tasty set of appetizers to the wonderful dessert (you have to try the cheesecake!) - The restaurant vibe is reminiscent of the sushi Moody Tongue location, creating the perfect setting for everything from a business meeting to date night. Will definitely be back!

Check this place out! I tried (literally) everything on the menu and there isn't a miss. The beer is phenomenal, the vibe is perfect for the neighborhood and the service is top notch.
