3. John’s of Bleecker Street
Founded in: 1929
Third place on our list of oldest pizza places in New York City goes to John’s of Bleecker Streey, the place to go if you like the old-school look. It is popular for its wooden booths where customers carve their names, giving the whole place a rather nostalgic feel. Furthermore, the restaurant still runs on a cash only policy, not accepting credit or debit cards. It does well in the taste department too with its pizza often being considered one of the best in New York. The most unusual feature of all is that John’s has still not succumbed to the trend of selling pizza by the slice, and only does so on a whole pie basis.
