Editorial Review for John's of Bleecker Street – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
No place is the subject of as much debate among the pizza-eating public as John's, a downtown pizzeria that many celebrities and New Yorkers consider to be the city's best sauce-and-mozzarella-pie source. The family-friendly dining rooms feature wood booths and beat-up old tables, and lines form at peak hours.
The Food
The debate between camps is largely stylistic, centering on the distribution and amount of cheese on John's pies. Unlike other New York legends like Grimaldi's or Lombardi's, which sparingly distribute mozzarella in large squarish chunks, John's scatters pebble-sized pieces that form a single uninterrupted layer of cheese when cooked. Far less contentious are John's thin, charred crust, tasty fresh sauce and generous toppings.

This pizza place came up on several searches for the best slice in New York. The walls and windows were tiled with autographed headshots of many famous people, including Harry Connick Jr, Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow. The pizza was nice and thin, with a simple yet flavorful sauce. We also shared a salad with a nice vinegary dressing. I think the key to their whole menu was SIMPLE. It was rather crowded and with only one bathroom stall, it’s difficult to feel comfortable there.
Pros: yummy
Cons: bathrooms

I am very picky about my pizza and must say I've tried many and always seem to find myself dissapointed in the taste. This is definitely NOT the case with John's Pizza! I had read a review that mentioned how crowded dinner time was so we went about 3ish - too late for the lunch crowd and too early for the dinner crowd - perfect timing. The service was great - very friendly actually and the pizza was THE BEST! Much better than Lombardi's!!! I
