John's Pizzeria - City of New York

Been going there for 30 years, pizza is still the best in all of Elmhurst

The NYC Pizzeria has been a long declining institution, but John's seems to be doing all the right things. An excellent regular and Sicilian slice, fair prices, and an atmosphere straight out of the 1980's. Most modern pizza shops have become sterile in their makeovers, which are mostly an afterthought. John's keeps it old school with formica, wall paper, period correct seating, bar stools, and the quintessential red tile flooring. You don't just come here for the pizza, you come here for an experience. Put your phone away and just soak in the nostalgia as you enjoy a slice at John's. As a lifelong New Yorker since 1980, I approve this message.

Honestly some of the best pizza I've had in my life

The best and only pizza spot I frequent! The owners are genuine and remain loyal to their customers, maintaining that old-school charm, which is much-needed in the neighborhood. Coming here is my favorite!!

I first visited John's back in 1986. Last night, I went there with my girlfriend, Eva, after not having been for over a decade. It really brought back a flood of memories and nostalgia from my childhood.
