When people think of the best pizza in NYC, they often head downtown to places like Una Pizza Napoletana or Joe’s Pizza on Bleecker Street. But if you’re near Central Park and craving great pizza without the trek, look no further than Angelo’s Pizza.

This coal oven spot delivers everything you want in a classic New York pie—crispy crust, charred bits, and that unmistakable smoky flavor. It’s so good that even pizza king Dave Portnoy from One Bite Pizza Reviews gave it a rare 9.3 score, one of his highest ever.

If you’re exploring the park and want a slice of authentic NYC pizza, skip downtown—Angelo’s is the place to be.
