Emily West Village - Where Pizza Stole the Show!

📍 Address: 35 Downing St, NYC ✨ Vibe: Cozy brick-walled nook with hipster-approved comfort food 🍔 The Backstory: We came for the legendary burger (ranked among NYC's best!), but left obsessed with their pizza instead! EMILY BURGER: ✔️ Pretzel bun - genius twist! 🥨 ✔️ Juicy patty - quality blend ❌ Sauce debate: @jadejoop found it too heavy (needed more zing!) 🍕 THE UNEXPECTED STAR: DETROIT-STYLE PIZZA (Shocking, since we usually hate pizza!) • Crust like focaccia - fluffy yet sturdy • Caramelized cheese edges - crispy and gooey 🧀🔥 • San Marzano sauce - bright acidity cuts the richness Must-Try Pies: 🔥 "The Colony" - Pepperoni + hot honey = perfect sweet-heat 🍄 "Mushroom & Truffle" - Umami bomb 🤔 Why It Works: • Small-batch dough fermented for 72 hours ⏳ • Wisconsin brick cheese - the Detroit-style secret weapon • Square slices = maximum edge-to-center ratio 📸 Foodie Moments: • Cheese-pull shots guaranteed • Burger beauty shots (RIP pretzel bun) #NYCpizza #DetroitStyle #WestVillageEats #NYCburgers #HiddenGems #FoodSurprises #DateNightSpot
