• Pizzeria • West Village

Booked 71 times today

A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

Loved the food and the service; both were wonderful. My only problem was that the back of the restaurant was absolutely freezing even with the heat lamps. Some of us needed to wear our winter jackets while we were having dinner.

I brought my neice for her 8th Birthday and it was a super special experience! Really made me feel like I got to show her a tiny piece of Tokyo. Obviously it is a themed restaurant so that is what you are there for. The food is ok but also plated so fun and creative that it made every dish that came out something to look forward to. The server was above and beyond in her hospitality and her costume was amazing! Highly recommend for a special occasion.
