NYC｜Rubirosa 🍕 Michelin-Recommended Pizza in SoHo—Worth the Hype?

New York takes its pizza seriously—and Rubirosa is one of those spots that’s always packed, even on weekdays. We snagged an afternoon slot to see what the buzz is about. With its retro-American vibe and a crowd that feels authentically local, this place clearly has its fans. 🧀 Mozzarella Sticks Generous, gooey, and satisfying—great for cheese lovers, though not exactly groundbreaking. 🦑 Fried Calamari Classic American-style calamari—crispy outside, tender inside, but could use more seasoning. 🍕 Tie-Dye Pizza (Half & Half) We went with a small size, enough for four to share. The Tie-Dye side was tasty—balanced tomato sauce and melty cheese. The Supreme was a bit saltier, but honestly, both tasted fairly similar. Crust was nicely crisp! 🍝 Seafood Pasta Skip it—tastes like something you could easily whip up at home. Noodles were underwhelming, sauce was basic. Verdict? The pizza is solid, but not sure I’d fight for a reservation again. Maybe my taste buds just aren’t American enough 😉 Still, a fun SoHo spot to try once! 💵 Around $30–$40 per person #RubirosaNYC #SoHoEats #NYCPizza #MichelinPicks #EatLikeALocal
