The story
Regular Pizza has been a Broadway fixture since 1975, founded by a Neapolitan immigrant who brought a slice of tradition to Midtown. Now hovering at 4.4 stars, it draws both tourists and locals for its straightforward, no‑frills approach—counter seating, takeout, and a vibe that’s casual and tourist‑friendly. The kitchen works a thin crust that, according to creator Riccardo Dose, shines brightest on the Margherita and Caprese, though he found the loaded pizza a miss.
Where Dose champions the classics, Giovanni Fois leans into the restaurant’s Italian‑American flair. He calls the Bufala Chicken one of the best pizzas he’s ever had, noting the kitchen’s creative, high‑quality spin on familiar flavors. Whether you’re after a historic slice or something bolder, Regular Pizza delivers a distinct New York experience—just know which style you’re after.

Reviewers rave about the Bufala chicken, calling it a standout. The overall vibe is of simple, high-quality ingredients executed with warmth and care.
“This pizza is a slap in the face to Italy. We called it Bufala Chicken instead of Buffalo Chicken — fried chicken, spicy sauce, but we added buffalo mozzarella on top. The crust is crunchy, the fried chicken is great, the edge is perfect, it's one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten in my life.”

PROVIAMO LA PIZZA PIÙ BUONA DI TUTTA NEW YORK - NON CI POSSO CREDERE È LA PIZZERIA DI SPIDERMAN! · @ 0:28
A historic New York slice joint since 1975, founded by a Neapolitan immigrant — the pizzas are good overall, though the loaded one was a miss, and the thin crust Margherita and Caprese stood out as the best.
Dishes mentioned
Pizza con Funghi, Salamino e Cipolla
This pizza has too much stuff on it — mushrooms, salami, onion. The flavors don't mix well, the mushrooms are bitter and weird. I took a weird piece, but honestly this one didn't work for me at all.
Pizza Margherita
This is good. A good malt. It reminds me exactly of the pizza from Twister Pizza in Pordenone — the kind of provincial pizza you find in small towns. In Milan you don't get pizza like this.
Pizza Siciliana
This is a brick — very good. It reminds me of Spontini's pizza. The dough is completely different from the first one, soft and good. But I personally prefer the thinner pizza.
Pizza Peperoni
This looks great, highest expectations. Don't imagine our salami — it's a different flavor, almost like finocchiona, with that fennel aftertaste. But it's good, this one deserves it.
Pizza Caprese
This is from his homeland — basically Neapolitan caprese: tomato, mozzarella and basil. It's heavy but fresh, light. Maybe this is the best one, the tastiest. I'll take another bite.
