Pizza made in a coal-fired oven is all about the chewy and crispy crust. With that in mind, you can’t go wrong with any pizza at Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria, but the salty prosciutto and parmesan contrasted by the mild ricotta and mozzarella that’s topped with a fresh, acidic kick from the lemon-dressed arugula creates a flavor combination that is truly unmatched.

Sometimes, perfection is found in simplicity, and The Godmother at Sals Bronx Pizza is a prime example of that. Baby spinach, artichoke hearts and roasted garlic top a secret three-cheese blend that bakes right into the crust. This pizza is light, rich and offers a surprisingly dynamic result.
