Packing for Adventure

To sum up our Pizza Crawl so far, we tried:

• 2 Deep Dish pizzas in Chicago
• 2 Detroit Style pizzas in Detroit
• 5 New York Style pizzas in NYC
• 2 New Haven Apizza spots in New Haven

We had one last day in NYC before heading home. We were doing the bulk of our NYC sight seeing on this last day, so we wouldn’t be making as making pizza stops. We didn’t have a solid plan for which pizza places we’d stop at. We’d already gotten the most important ones out of the way, and we seriously considered some repeat visits with how good they were!

There was a specific place in Brooklyn we wanted to try called Di Fara Pizza. It has rave reviews, and we hadn’t had pizza in Brooklyn yet. Unfortunately it is just too far away and it didn’t make sense with the rest of our itinerary. Hopefully we’ll get to give it a try one day!

Ignazio’s Review: Pizza Crawl 2024 Stop #12 | 4 Water St, Brooklyn, NY 11201

This place is right underneath the bridge with great views, which makes it really fun on top of having excellent pizza! The sauce was really good. We preferred the plain cheese over the pepperoni, but both were excellent. It is cash only, but they have an ATM machine by the bathroom. We didn’t have enough cash and I don’t carry around a debit card, but when we got up to leave, they said they could process a card transaction for a 4% fee. I’m glad they let us do that as the pizza was really good!

Sauce Review: Pizza Crawl 2024 Stop #13 | 78 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002

This was by far the thinnest crust pizza we had on this whole trip, but it didn’t taste like a cracker. The sauce was really good! We had the cheese pizza. Because it is so light, you could eat a ton. That being said, it wasn’t very filling, and it’s expensive, so we didn’t order appetizers. All in all, great pizza and great service. We sat at the bar as there were not tables available.

Note: Sauce is permanently closed now according to Google Maps, which is too bad, but it was my least favorite NYC pizza.

Final Verdict:

Chris: Ignazio’s 8.7 | Sauce 8.3
Rosie: preferred Ignazio’s over Sauce

No reservations necessary for either place.
