Nonna Apa


Naming your restaurant after the grandmother that taught you how to cook is a pretty serious commitment to quality. The place better be good. Nonna Apa (105 Clinton Street) delivers on the promise of excellence implicit in its name.

It serves what might be the finest pizza slices in the Lower East Side neighborhood. Pies are made with homemade dough, very fresh ingredients, and strict attention to detail by the owner himself. The square slices (Magic Slices) are especially worth seeking out, crispy and very flavorful. If anyone ever asks you what's so special about New York pizza, take them to Nonna Apa.

The meatball hero sandwich served here is also exceptional. The meatballs are homemade according to an old family recipe, and the sandwich is carefully constructed with a perfect balance of sauce and mozzarella. Definitely try this one.
