DAY 16: OCTOBER 16th, 2024 

LOCATION: Jonny's Pizza (173 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002)

GUEST(S): Danilo Zepeda, Michelle Chu

REVIEW: 
Go, Jonnys Go - Jonny’s be good! With the 2024 opening of Jonny’s Pizza, the Lower East Side of Manhattan now has one more hot spot for a hot slice anytime of the night. By limiting their offerings, Jonny’s serves only the pizza they have mastered and the masses have taken notice. Despite their best efforts to pre-bake pies to expedite production, demand is too high. Expect a line and don’t expect a public restroom. Aside from the Forrest Gumpian bench randomly situated in the middle of the pizzeria, there are no seats so be prepared to take your slices to go or find a corner to lean on. Crust lovers will appreciate that these extra large slices have a sturdy-yet-thin underside, a puffy outer edge and a nice crisp crunch with every bite. This trendy pizzeria is, not surprisingly, on the pulse of all of the latest pizza trends like their superb hot honey, delightful burrata, savory vodka sauce and yes, of course, spicy pepperoni cups. With their top quality ingredients, expert baking techniques, and a state of the art electric oven, Jonny’s churns out a delicious slice every single time.
