What's going to New York without trying their thin crust pizza!  This pizza place was recommended by Oliver as one of the best pizza place to try in New York.  John's of Bleecker Street Pizzeria is opened since 1929, and not to be confused with another franchise!  This pizzeria is located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood, where it is known for its artistic atmosphere.  As we walk along the neighborhood, there are many small but neat restaurants and wine places.  The Washington Square park is also located in Greenwich Village.   

The restaurant claims: "No Slices. No Reservations. Cash Only. Dine In or Take Out."

We arrived at the restaurant and found the restaurant very packed.  We waited about 20 minutes before we were seated.  The decor has a lot of character and there are many pictures of celebrities and hockey players on the walls.

I have heard their most popular pizza is actually plain - tomato sauce and mozzarella.  Since I'm not used to just eating plain pizza,  we ordered a medium pizza with tomato sauce (6 slices $14.50), mushroom and fresh ground sausage ($3 each for topping).  The pizza is made-to-order, and cooked in a coal fire brick oven.  I enjoyed the pizza very much!  Because its freshly made and nice and crispy.  The tomato sauce is absolutely delicious!!!  Definitely worth a visit.
