the only way to judge pizza is to order and compare plain pies. john's on bleeker is by far the best.

Been there so many times. Not much to look at but that is sort of the point. Delicious and satisfying. A local favorite that hasn't changed.

I researched where to go for a great NYC pizza and this was PERFECT. I can't say enough about it. The salad dressing was a basic red wine and the veggies on it were nice. Pizza so good. Bleeker street is so cute too!

On Saturday April 27, 2013 we met here for a family dinner. Since there were five of us, it took a little time to be seated--no big deal. The service was fast and attentive. We ordered one large pepperoni pizza nad a large pepperoni calazone. Everything arrived as ordered with no issues. If you like brick oven thin crust pizza,... More

Went here a week ago, had high expectations since it is raved about. The pizza was nice, but not amazing. The waitress on Monday afternoon seemed lazy, the place was very quiet, yet she payed us no attention. Can't understand why she was sat down at the table next to us and not working

Still good after all these years, and often packed. Drop in for classic, properly prepared, brick-oven pizza.

As a native New Yorker, I am EXTREMELY fussy about my pizza. Whenever I come back home for a visit (I now reside in Utah) I absolutely make certain to eat at John's on Bleecker. Perfect thin crust, just a little bit burnt. The proper ratio of sauce, cheese, and toppings, and all are excellent. It seems so simple yet... More

Came here 20 years ago and found the place charming with good pizza. This time... not so much. Seemed dingy, unspecial. Would not go back.

OK, up front I'll admit that this is our first visit to a real NYC pizza place, so I can't tell you if this is a great or lousy NYC pizza. But I can tell you that it's probably the best pizza that I've ever had. We got there about 5:00 on Saturday, just missing the line that formed outside... More

Fine thin crisp crust the way it should be. Unassuming old world decor. Gets crowded in the evenings. Suggest you go for lunch or early dinner.
