EAT: A GREAT PIZZA IN HARLEM 2021

Harlem Bespoke:  Probably one of the most underrated things to be known about Harlem these days is that there are some really amazing pizza spots to be found uptown.  Specialty wood or brick oven stoves are the norm and the pies have the perfect char-to-chew ratio that can not be found in any old takeout spot.  Below are some of the artisanal pizza eateries to check out in greater Harlem.

Harlem Pizza Company, 135 West 116th Street between ACP and Lenox. A local sensation which has been around since 2014: LINK

Bar 314, at 1260 Amsterda by West 122nd Street.  This West Harlem pizzeria that opened in 2019 has one of the best crust in Manhattan: LINK

Babbalucci,  331 Lenox Avenue by 126th Street. Central Harlem's main pie purveyor since 2015 also serves up some interesting offerings: LINK

Bono Trattoria, 3658 Broadway by 151st Street.  The first craft pizza spot to open on the west side back in 2015 was selected our as one of the Bespoke Best of the Year: LINK
