REVIEWS:
A pie a cheapass could love, I recently went to East Harlem Patsy's Pizzeria, located on 2287 1st ave btwn 117th & 118th 10035 for a super thin pie. A pie at Patsy’s is a whooping $11 a size of a large and there is only one size you can choose. However the pie is so thin this 17” in diameter is good for about 2 people, depending on how hungry you are.
We got a pie with 2 toppings, anchovies and Italian sausage each topping cost $3, not so cheap but the pie is only $11, so it sort of works out that it is very affordable, especially if you like it plain. The pie had a perfectly crisp yet soft and airy, elastic crust and just the right amount of charring. The charring effect comes through with the old-style coal-oven adding an extra flavor of complexity; mix all that with sweet marinara sauce milky cheese and salty anchovies makes Patsy’s an inspirational pizza experience and a top notch eatery.
Besides the pizza I really enjoyed the vibe of the joint, everyone is a local New Yorker with a sprinkle of tourist, next to our table were a 4 guys having lunch and you can tell they have been coming here for years. They were joking with the waitress and discussing the greatness of Carlito's Way just like one would imagine, there is even a painting of Frank Sinatra on the wall in his honor – how much more New York can you get?

Some may or may not like the charred flavor in our case we loved it!
