Finding Good Pizza in Manhattan Map

After you hit the beach in Brooklyn, head to the best local pizza joint Bensonhurst has to offer: L & B Spumoni Gardens. Opened way back in 1939, today's Spumoni Gardens doesn't boast any fresh foliage (save the hanging plastic floral assortments) but does boast some of NY's best pizza.

Served in generous sicilian slices, Spumoni's pizza is topped with cheese first, and then covered in tangy tomato sauce and spices. Each bite results in a nice surprise of flavors and the sauce has enough time to cool before hitting your mouth, avoiding that nasty tongue scalding effect often caused by too-hot NYC pizza. Two slices is enough to fill you up, but be sure to save room for the signature spumoni ice cream, a perfect combo of vanilla, chocolate and pistachio that's both creamy and icy, all served in a resistant paper cup. Sit outside and don't miss the display of Brooklynites that come from near and far for Spumoni's.
