John's Pizzeria

"A half-and-half pizza: mozzarella in the background, sausage in the foreground."
Michael Stern






"John's is a crust-lover's pizza -- a perfect balance of crunch and chew. That's not to slight the sausage, which is superb ... and the tomato sauce and mozzarella, which are Neapolitan-style classics."
Michael Stern



"Sausage and mushroom pizza."
Sam Meyer



"Every square inch of wood on the walls and booth-backs at John's is covered with years' worth of scratched-in graffiti."
Michael Stern



"The view from inside John's, looking out towards Bleeker Street."
Michael Stern



"John's neon sign."
Sam Meyer



"There are three other genuine John's in Manhattan, but connoisseurs prefer this one, with ancestry that goes back to Lombardi's, New York's very first pizzeria."
Michael Stern



"John's has been part of the Greenwich Village scene since the 1920s."
