4. Patsy’s Pizzeria
Founded in: 1933
For almost eighty-five years, Patsy’s Pizzeria has remained at the same little spot in East Harlem, working up an amazing reputation for a perfect New York style pizza. It is often said that Patsy’s was the first pizza place to have started selling pizza by the slice. This mode of sale caught on quite quickly, but some old pizzerias that take tremendous pride in their age still ignore the growing trend. You will see a couple of such examples in the top three spots on our list of the 11 oldest pizza places in New York City.
