Don't have time for the 3 hour tour that is Di Fara? Think that Lombardi's and Grimaldi's are good but overrated? Hate waiting in a line with tourists? Say hello to Posto. It's centrally located, rarely has a long wait time, and the ambiance is unsurpassed for pizzerias. The pizza itself might be the best kept secret in New York City, possibly the best...and yes I realize the gravity of my statement. My personal favorite is the Big Pineapple, with the footnote that I don't even like hawaiian pizza. If you're really hungry, get the spinach salad as an appetizer, and again, I don't even like spinach so I am really confused how they make things that I don't like taste so good. I'm going to be really upset if people read this and I have to start waiting a long time to eat there.

Posto is great if you like your pizza thin and crisp.
Pluses:
Yuengling on tap!
The specialty pizzas are tasty (my fave is the 'Shroomtown)
The greek salad is tasty
The apple pie a la mode is a MUST!
Tell them Clarence sent ya! :)

I love Posto's pizza. Its as thin as you can get and the toppings are really high quality. I always order the pizza extra crispy. The lunch specials are the best because you can get 2 slices of cheese and a soda for 5 bucks. The service is a little slow considering that they only have one person working at a time, but its well worth it considering their pizza is so good. I would also recommend the endive salad. It is super light and refreshing. The sandwiches are good too, but huge and slightly under-seasoned. Go for pizza and salad and you'll be happy.

I love the thin crust pizza here. It’s a great place to eat during the summer when they have the benches outside, especially with the kids. Try the meat lovers so good, and the house salad is really good too. They also have great deals for lunch.

Great thin crust pizza and nice patio area. I got a pepperoni pizza with arugula and was very happy with the spicy-ness and how the pizza was still crispy when I got to the last slice. Good shiraz too in cute little juice glasses.

I LOVE the thin crust pizza here! It's so yummy =) The crust is super thin...the house pies are pretty darn good. So far I have had the meat lovers (pepperoni, ground sausage, & more!) and the spicy vegetable (zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.)...and the salads!! I love the green (don't know what it is, but it tastes good) dressing! I definitely recommend this place to thin crust pizza lovers!

I like coming here because you can get a delicious, thin crust margherita pizza and a beer, in a suprisingly preppy, dark, booth, a few steps below ground. Also, their balsamic salad dressing is the best salad dressing I've ever had....its thick but not creamy and not oily: I've lived in Italy and Spain and never have I had such good balsamic dressing---Unbelievable! Wowza!
Also, if you order a lemonade, they bring you half a glass of lemon juice on ice and then a fancy bottle of simple syrup with which you may add to taste. It's a little more than your regular pizza place, I'd label it casual preppy dining. They deliver as well!

I was surprised by just how thin this crust turned out to be! Crust like this makes it easy to eat several slices but still respect yourself in the morning. Some girlfriends and I had pizza and wine night (my favorite night) and we selected this place for food. It helped my friend lives on 18th and 2nd so it was a sure bet. We ordered the garlic bread and large pizza with sausage. The garlic bread was pretty amazing. 4 large slices covered in cheese and garlic with sauce on the side for dipping. The pizza was also pretty good but I wouldn't say it was the best I have ever had. It was tasty and I ate it but let me just say, I could easily knock out an entire large pizza by myself given how thin the crust is.

I used to live 3 buildings away
from this place and would frequent it at least once a week and have
never really been disappointed. Even now, I still have cravings
for their pizza. The seating area inside is small and intimate, the
outdoor picnic table seating in the spring / summer is nice in theory,
but seriously, do you really want to hang out on the corner of 18th
and 2nd? There's not much foot traffic for people watching and there
is nothing to look at besides traffic along 2nd Ave. But if you
just like being outside, it's a nice option. I've always gotten the
antipasta starter and their garlic bread (with cheese), but their
bruschetta has always been good as well. The antipasta starter:
great olives, decent salami, decent cheese. It's a nice refreshing
starter. The garlic bread with cheese - the name says it all. I'm
a fat girl stuck in a skinny girl body, I love this appetizer. It's
heavy, but it's damn good. Pizzas are thin-crust and all of them
have been really very good. I love the margherita pizza, but any
of their other toppings have always been great! Beers are great. They
have Hoegaarden. That's always a plus in my book.

her list of food she'd bring to a desert island, last meal on earth
or something to be eaten everyday. for me - if it was Posto's pizza,
i could be on board. perfect sauce to cheese to topping ratio...
the Big Pineapple (it has bacon!) or the Shroomtown are my go-tos,
with greek salad on the side.

Fantastic thin-crust pizza in
a cozy, low-key atmosphere. Our faves are the Big Pineapple (with
ham) and the Classica (a margherita with fresh mozz, basil and tomatoes).
The crust is so unbelievably thin, crunchy and tasty. We almost always
get a house salad to start; the dressing is so delicious that I've
been inspired to try and recreate it at home (I think it's a classic
balsamic with a touch of garlic and a tiny bit of sugar for a hint
of sweetness). The place is usually crowded but we've only had an
unreasonable wait for a table once, and the bar is a friendly place
to sit and wait. And definitely try the tiramisu if you want to indulge.
I actually dislike tiramisu in general -- the cocoa powder always
blows into my throat and makes me cough -- but here it is SUBLIME
and the cocoa is perfectly moist. Love, love, love Posto. So lucky
to live nearby!

Really really good thin crust
pizza! I've only had the Hawaiian and the plain, but I LOVE both.
The restaurant itself is pretty small and can get very busy depending
on when you come, however its worth it. On warm days they have an
outdoor seating area if you enjoy dining al fresco like me. A slice
of this along with a beer and I swear my taste buds thank me for
days.

Posto is a neighborhood favorite
of mine. While the menu is not extensive, they focus on what they
know best - pizzas and salads.
I have been to Posto more times than I can count on two hands. Both
family and friends from NYC and elsewhere agree that the pizzas are
great and are reasonably priced. When its warm, Posto has roughly
6-8 outdoor tables that seat up to 4. These tables are a great place
to people watch and enjoy the weather.

Even though it's all the way
across town from us, this has displaced Patsy's as our regular pizza
spot. We're willing to wait for the M23 in return for getting some
Posto pizza.
Not only is the pizza amazing, it's a good spot to hang out. First
time we went we just sat at the bar, got some beers, glasses of wine,
and a pie; 2nd time we got one of the booths. So even though it's
a tight space, we haven't had to wait long to sit and order up some
food and drinks. Seems like it's a bit off the beaten path, so maybe
it doesn't get as mobbed as some other spots. From the other reviews,
it sounds like they also have the outdoor seating going in the warmer
months. We only discovered Posto in November, so we'll be heading
back in the spring and summer to experience that.

Great Find! Glad to have another good restaurant in Gramercy! The
pizza here is consistently excellent (if you like thin crust pizza).
The prices could be cheaper, but reasonable given the area. My
only complaints would be delivery (the pizza is definitely better
at the restaurant) and the service. The host (not sure what his
name is) is as pissy as can be. If you can look past that, though,
it's a fantastic little restaurant!

Try the Meatlovers which was by far the best I tried. They serve

be cheaper but not ridiculous. Overall, if you are into thin crust

Great! I am confused with some of the reviews. The pizza is amazing.
Yes, you have to like thin crust pizza. If you don't, go elsewhere.
I wasn't a fan of super thin crust like that have here but I am
now. The ingredients are so fresh and the pizza is so so good.
I actually ordered pizza for three days in a row from Posto when
I discovered the place 1 month ago. I then took my brother there
for lunch. not only do they have good lunch specials but they have
other items other than pizza that are also very good. The salads
are excellent and I had the melon/proscuitto and it was so very
good. I don't understand what one reviewer said about not being
great places to eat in Gramercy. That simply is NOT true. Posto
happens to be fantastic and now a staple. Also, kids like, no actually
love, pizza so if you don't like kids, don't go to a place where
their speciality is pizza. Not much else to say about that other
than I have been there a couple of times in the last month and
do not remember seeing any kids there. It is more of an upscale
bar/restaurant then a typical NY pizza palor. Do not hesitate going.
Oh, they have a great wine and homemade soup [select]ion. The bartenders
are quite nice too!

LOVE everything about this cozy neighborhood favorite. Posto offers
amazing house combinations, as well as an extensive range of toppings
to create your own. The pizza is thin crust with very high quality
ingredients. Worth the price. Reasonably priced wine, great salads
(ask for an extra side of dressing to dip your crust in) and some
great appetizers (try the Rotella). Atmosphere is dark and cozy,
jukebox is great - a lot of Van Morrison and Billy Joel. Outdoor
seating is a plus.

I split a 16" pizza with a friend last night...... and by split I

thin enough to fool me into thinking I could eat half and not regret
it later. The toppings (we had pesto and cheese base with sundried
tomatoes, goat cheese, and carmelized onions) were awesome but cost
a bit more than they should. Seriously guys, $5 for goat cheese?

Mmmmmmmm, this pizza is delicious. The pizzas are all thin crust which
I love. You can either order a 9 inch or a 16 inch, so we ordered
two 9 inch pies and shared. We tried the Spicy Garden, a perfect
combination of cheese and veggies, including jalapenos which give
it a spicy kick, and we also had the Formaggio Bianco, which has
ricotta, mozzarella, spinach and basil- yum! It's a really small
spot with booth seats and stand alone tables, and the atmosphere
is dark, but I would definitely recommend to anyone.

This pizza joint is no ordinary pizza joint...it's a real deal restauranty
with a beer/wine bar. This is a great low-key date place for rookie
couples as well as the veterans. the food is tasty. staff and customers
are lively. there's booze. it's soflty lit. and the prices are
easy on the wallet. The gf and i stopped in here randomly because
we were off to catch Tropic Thunder at Kip's Bay...our luck is
good because we had a fantastic pizza-filled evening and weren't
late to the flick. Recommendation: the arugula-n-bocconcini salad & meatball
classic large were plenty for two people with a decent apppetite. there
are plenty of pizza choices as well as customizing your own. there's
also a variety of salads and pastas on the menu. warining on the
pizza if you are a Chicago style pizza eater or want super chewy
crusts...this is not going to be your clice of heaven. the pizza
here is strictly light thin crust fare. The staff are quick to
serve, refresh drinks, and chitchat without being annoying. overall
if you are looking a casual date place or a low-key evening of
pizza and a flick, this is could be your place. there were some
larger tables in the back...so it seems that the restaurant can
accomodate groups of 6-10.

My friend lives near this pizzeria and suggested we give it a try.
We had recently eaten at the Thai restaurant across the street
and noticed Posto was always full. After a pretty hefty wait (45
minutes on a rainy dreary day) with no waiting area, we were finally
seated. I'm not sure which is worse- having to stand for an entire
45 minutes in a cramped, dark pizzeria, or having to watch people
eat fresh, bubbling hot pies while hungry. Probably the latter.
Regardless, the pizza was DELICIOUS. I hate crust so this place
really made high marks for me. The crust was thin and perfectly
baked. My friend and I shared a large (I know, we're fatties but
getting a small made no sense economically) Italian sausage with
various mushrooms. The cheese was delicious and the crust crispy
even under all that fresh tomato sauce and hefty toppings. I honestly
couldn't have asked for a better pizza. Simple, fresh, wholesome
ingredients and quick (although not great) service. Definitely
worth it for any pizza lover.

Super tasty thin crust (almost cracker-like) pizzas made to order
to your specs or one of their suggested combinations. The "shroomtown" pizza,
which has 3 or 4 types of mushrooms and truffle oil, is particularly
excellent. Great variety of salads, too, to counteract some of
your pizza guilt. Service can be a tad slow, and this place is
no bargain, but it doesn't disappoint.

Being fanatically from the great city on the Lake, Chicago, it is
often difficult for me to take thin crust pizza seriously. Or
it was. Between Tony's Pizza on Graham in Brooklyn, my favorite
neighborhood pizza and Posto at 19th and 2nd, I learned that New
York too can boast of pizza that is either easily had and delicious
or, with some flair, elevated toward artful cuisine with relative
simplicity. There are those who talk of Grimaldi's or Patsy's but
their cases as brilliant or life altering are easily dismissed
when faced with Gino's East, the Caffe Florian or the Candlelight
in Chicago. Posto on the other hand, was a really exciting development
in my life as a denizen of New York City. It helped change how
I thought about pizza. I became more open and welcoming. Not
since Talanya's in St. Louis (when they were in the old church)
had I found a pizza that challenged my basic assumptions as they
had been formed in Chicago. It began with the salad. Simple, tricolor
and beautiful - the dressing complemented the very fresh greens
and simple adornments and made it a much better house salad than
one could expect to find. Compared to the dispiriting piles of
cold wet lettuce begrudgingly given a cucumber top, this was like
a whole other idea of defining the self. Posto declared itself
with some panache, even in its lettuce. The house dressing is
excellent, I feel, and I often attack it with almost indecent zeal,
cramming bits of delicious lettuce into the crevices of the dressing's
container to get one last taste. It's not subtle, but then again,
it doesn't overpower the flavor of the greens and their accompaniments. In
its balance of strong flavor yet polite second, the dressing completes
the salad as few can. The pizza is superb. The sauce is confident
and slightly sweet, it's not hidden under the cheese to wait patiently
like some despairing servant. No, it treats itself as an equal,
which I like. The cheese is excellent and the green peppers and
sausages I have sampled are excellent and are done with delicate
twists to what one usually expects from their pizza. Especially
in the conforming world of the pizzeria. The sausage, first of
all, has much more flavor, not tasting simply like black pepper
wrapped around some rubbery meat, containing instead more complex
flavorings that hint the garden is considered a friend to all things
Posto. Finally the peppers are delicious, fully flavored. Like
the sauce the peppers do not bury their flavor but announce it
in an attempt at harmony which they most often achieve nicely. I
often add pineapples and for the sauce and the crust, I feel it
is a perfect addition, balancing all flavors of the pizza and tilting
them slightly toward what is sweet. One can balance her own pizza
to her own taste, but this is my decision and it serves well, I
find. The pesto pizza is also excellent. Adding basil to anything
there is an excellent idea, as it has always been fresh and wonderful
when I have went. The house reds are usually hearty and conducive
to a meal that is based on pizza, and often, when I have plans
further into the night, I will choose instead a root beer, which
is also perfect for the pizza. The place itself is rather charming. In
the late afternoon I am often surprised by how many parents and
children, or nannies and children, or nannies, parents and children
drop in. In fact I once saw a woman interviewing to be a nanny
there, reflecting the fate of New Yorkers to have others at their
feet or to scurry at the feet of the bastards, but such is life
in a berg where a decent studio goes for $1800. Anyway, the children
are often excited, and it's nice to be around that, and the wait
staff, in my experience, are always exceedingly kind and ready
to help with excellent little suggestions and dispositions that
are always patient and welcoming. I love going there. The music
is from the juke box, and the juke box does have some gems, along
with the old stalwarts - I don't doubt that Journey's Greatest
Hits is there, but so too are some excellent jazz and blues albums
and some great indie rock of the 1980s. I am pretty sure I remember
seeing there a father introducing his child to the work of the
Pixies once. Maybe that was somewhere else. And while the Pixies
are rapidly becoming a staple of the Ramones t-shirt wearing crowd
of the early 2000s, they, like the Ramones, can still rock a song
- and it's good to know the next generation will remember that
we used to go to concerts too, and stomp around and scream and
believe that somewhere, in all that noise, was a great key for
the soul to use to find something like love and enlightenment,
all wrapped up, together at last.

I used to live in the exact building that Posto is in and when it
arrived, I think God smiled down on me! Posto is absolutely amazing
Pizza, one of the best in the entire city. Its thin crust, which
made me nervous at first since I am a loyal pan fan, but its done
perfectly for all pizza lovers. Don't just stick to the pizza either,
try their ravioli with their signature garlic/cheese bread or their
sandwiches at lunch (they have good lunch specials). One last thing,
if you go, you have to get their house salad-it includes mixed
greens, mushrooms, red onions and olives with the best tasting
balsamic dressing. Go now!

"i've got an idea - what if everyone who orders a pizza requests
a tuna topping? they don't have that any more, BUT THEY USED TO! so
they'll have to say "sorry, we don't carry the tuna any more, and
everyone will put on this mask of disappointment and proceed what
they were going to order anyway, while sending the message that grupo
has to get tuna back on the menu - really, truly - tuna with capers
on their pizza is amazing. another think i've noticed is that the
second or third slice is much better because their pizza needs to
be a bit on the cooler side. They don't go very heavy on the onion
topping so ask for extra. i think this is hands-down my favorite
pizza. if only they still had the tuna topping. if any reader knows
where i can get tuna and capers on my pizza, italian style, please
let me know!"

While Posto, Vezzo & Gruppo have the *exact* menu, this location
is *dear* because you have outdoor seating (picnic benches) on a
quieter part of Second Avenue between the hospitals, Stuy Town & Gramercy.
Our faves when we're here: A bottle of Hoegaarden heferweizen or
draft of Yuengling: Refreshing! The mixed green salad: leafy dark
greens, red onions, cherry tomatoes and a balanced balsamic/olive
oil dressing: Delish! The piece de resistance: A large 'Shroomtown:
combine their incredibly thin and crisp crust, sweet/tangy tomato
sauce spread thin, mozzerella cheese, portobello and shiitake mushrooms
and dab a bit of truffle oil and you have an incredible specimen
of pizza delight! Sure, call it nuevo-pizza, a new take on the classic
NY-style pizza, but whatever you might call it -- their pizzas are
satisfying, light and most of all: DELICIOSO!

Super thin crust in a quaint space that's a step up from your lunch
haunts and a step down in formality vs. most dinner spots. The
pies come in 9" and 16" sizes. The pricing is pretty proportional
so it pays to get two different ones vs. share one. I went with
fresh mozzarella, sweet Italian sausage, red peppers, and tomato
sauce. I liked the sausage and peppers best. The cheese was fine
but paled compared to, say, Luzzo's. The crust is REAL thin but
it has enough body that it isn't a cracker. My cousin liked her
pie as well. Think she'd agree, though, this doesn't measure up
to other pizza we've had like Nick's in Forest Hills and UES or
Angelo's on 57th b/w 6th and 7th (across from Burger Joint). For
$10 a pie, no complaints. Would go back if in the area for a nice
lunch or quick dinner.

part comes from the olive oil and cheese - ample amounts of both,
yet not overwhelmingly so. The thin applies to the crust: think
of a cheesy flat bread that's both crispy and crunchy with each bite. I
am consistently amazed at how many toppings the thin crust can sustain
without crumbling. The cheese to sauce ratio favors cheese, so if
you don't want marinara sauce you can sub it out for pesto sauce. Heaven!
The salads are also really refreshing as is the House dressing. And
the cheesy garlic bread makes you feel guilty about ever making the
decision to order it. However, the pizza does not. You can order
an individual pie and not feel like you've ever over stuffed yourself
and compliment it with a salad.
So in the end, Coco would be proud. It doesn't put too much weight
on me and doesn't break my bank account.

Almost made me go postal!! Such thin crust pizza and the best part
is that they make it how you want it! I had a nice size (9 inch)
thin crust pizza (that was the small and then there is a large
which would comfortably feed 2-3 people depending on what else
you ordered and how hungry you were) with ricotta and zucchini.
Are you kidding with the poor reviews? The crust was perfect and
not burnt, the cheese nice and soft and plentiful. And the zucchini
was just thin enough. Delish. In fact I freaked out when I thought
they didnt deliver to my apt. I will be back. We sat outside- great
service and nice staff.

This is, all things (price, location, easiness, familiarity) considered,
my favorite place. Not the "best," per se, restaurant in New York,
but my cozy, happy, warm and fuzzy "favorite" (which may have to
do with the fact that this is one of the only places I really feel
like a regular at). My ex-girlfriend (and still very dear friend)
and I have eaten here for years since soon after they opened, and
have celebrated many a birthday, business meeting, or out of town
guest in this friendly neighborhood spot (if you don't celebrate
business meetings, you got the wrong friendleagues). All of their
pizzas are great, their pepperoni are HUGE and spicy, the garlic
bread with cheese is massive and delicious, and the salads are
great (I go with spinach salad, though recently I've started asking
for it with light dressing...). we always love to get a large ham
and pineapple, it's so thin you're left wanting more in the BEST
possible way. The bread pudding is my fave dessert. Unfortunately,
they don't always have lambrusco, a wonderfully silly sparkling,
chilled red wine but when they do, get it. Otherwise, cheap pitchers
of yeungling it is! Gruppo and Vezzo, the sister 'raunts are good
(Gruppo's actually the original, I think) but POSTO reigns supreme
in atmosphere and staff (who despite turnover and my recent, now
temporary move to queens still greet us warmly and by name). God,
I love this place.

Dimly lit Posto has an old world,
rustic European tavern-esque feel.... with it's wood booths, exposed
brick, low tin ceiling, dark mahogany bar and vintage diner stools. Nice
choice of domestic and imported, bottled beer, and beer on tap...I
chose the $5 Yuengling on tap. It was so cold and bubbly... I just
had to have another. Good selection of red and white wine by the
glass/ bottle. We started with the Greek salad. It was full of delicious
fresh cherry tomatoes, spicy red onions, and feta cheese. Onto the
pizza ..oh wow... the pizza! Thin, thin ...did I mention thin? Crispy,
crunchy, cracker -like, flaky crust, with baked on Mozzarella,
and marinara sauce. Brick oven perfection. So many gourmet toppings
to choose from... the grilled eggplant, and black olives were fantastic. And
for dessert...get this....pumpkin pie made from "real" Pumpkins! Not
at all sugary...tasted like fresh ( not canned) pureed bodacious
Pumpkins...yum.
Get there early for din din...or go for lunch. Modest, little Posto
is bustling... and for good reason. Amazing pizza, cozy atmosphere,
competent service, clean bathrooms, and extremely reasonable prices
to boot.. Posto is a very special place-romantic casual date destination.
Definitely a slice above the rest. Check out their website for more

Unbelievable pizza. Gorgeous
decor. Fast service and friendly waiters. What's not to like? This
sweet little pizza joint can get quite busy on Friday and Saturday
nights. My party had to wait over an hour for a table, but it was
SO worth it. Plus, we were able to leave and go to another nearby
bar while we waited - the waitress graciously offered to call us
once our table was ready! Now THAT'S service. The pizza was DELICIOUS
- the pepperoni was spectacular. I wish they had more indoor seating,
especially during the winter! I have a feeling I'm going to be heading
back there quite a few times this season for a cozy slice of pizza.

Best pizza I've found. Being
Italian and being from Cali, I never quite got the New York pizza
thing (maybe I haven't found the best NY pizza joint yet), but I'll
take fresh, piping hot, thin crust Italian style over NY slices any
day. Is it really like the pizza in Napoli? Well, no. But it reigns
supreme in the U.S. Best of list includes: Four Seasons (Quattro
Stagioni - classic Italian pizza) Meat Lovers (I wasn't one until
I ate this) and Prosciutto, Basil, Jalapeno (we made this one up
- shout out to Rich & Lina) Wine list is also excellent, house salad
is good to start and the atmosphere is always tops (Winter - cozy
and warm inside, Summer - tables outside are prime). NOTE: They may
not have accepted credit cards in the old days, but they definitely
do now.

I live RIGHT next to this fine

called Tasty Corner, which actually was not tasty at all! Glad it's
gone. Posto is a GRRREAT date restaurant with tables outside, and
cozy booths inside. he ambiance inside the restaurant has an old
time feel, even though the place is only a couple years old, with
out that TGIF fake antique look. It's not cheap, but the ingredients
seem fresh, and the different specialty pizzas are great. Try making
a custom one with Mushrooms and Pineapple. MMMMMMMM. ZZZZZZZZZZ.
Ultra thin crust pizza, I can definitely eat at least half of a large
pie myself.
Try it today!

I am very picky about my pizza. The
crust has to be crispy and paper thin. The cheese better be fresh
mozarella, NOT the stringy polly-o stuff. Anything less goes in
the garbage. This place surpassed expectations. The ingredients
were fresh, delicately chopped. The pizza is exactly the way I like
it, the crust is one of the thinnest and crispiest I have tried in
this town. The ambiance was really nice, a casual, local pub feel. The
worn leather booths with slate or wooden tables, embossed tin ceilings,
classic look to the bar.
Beer and wine available, and some comfort-food classic desserts like
apple pie, cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie.

This place is awesome - outdoor picnic-bench
seating on relatively quiet 18th street and exposed brick walls with
jukebox indoor seating. The spinach salad was fresh and the dressing
matched nicely. My friends ate the meat-lovers pie and did cartwheels
out of the joint, while I ate an entire small pie that was covered
in veggies leading to a "just right" feeling in my tummy. The pizza
is sooo tasty. I'll be back soon, hope to see you there!!

Overall, great and dependableThis is a local for me, so I've eaten
here regularly. It's a perfect quaint neighborhood pizzaria, and
surprise surprise, the pizza is great. It's a really good thin
almost cracker crust. aside from a standard selection of toppings,
the pepperoni and proscuitto are high quality and recommended strongly.
The salads can be a little weak and recently they raised their
prices, but I still think a strong quality value at a great neighborhood
location (great for kids) with a fun jazzy juke box. Definitely
one of my favorites.

Posto has the greatest pizza. It is consistently delicious and I
find myself ordering from here at least once a week. I'm hooked!
Their salads are simple yet always fresh and tasty. If you add
a little truffle oil to their Formagio Bianco pizza, it is outstanding!
Service is always straight-forward (no bells & whistles & doting
here) if you eat in the restaurant, but they have delivery too
so you can have the Posto experience at home. Yum!

Posto-thin crust pizza revisited
Monday, September 05, 2005
Trevor, AKA "Swimster" (newly dubbed by our friends HungryMan and
Nosher of NYC Nosh), took me to Posto, right around the corner from
his apartment for pizza. If you think you've had thin crust pizza,
think again. Little did I know in this little pizza joint, and that's
what really best describes it, I'd find the thinnest, best-tasting
pizza I've had in the city. I guess that's not saying much seeing
that I've had few thin crust pizzas here at all (usually it's the
monster slices from the small no-name walk-in walk-out pizza stops)
but Posto's version hit the spot. And that's all anyone's really
calling for at 9pm when neither of us could put our finger on what
the heck we wanted to eat. Posto is small and there are a few benches
outside hugging the restaurant's walls (Posto sits on the corner
of 2nd and 18th). You walk in to a few booths right off the restaurant
bar and a couple tables in the back close to the kitchen countertop.
We scored a booth, fit with the wiry pizza tray holder, hot pepper
flake shakers and all. Swimster felt he wanted to have a beer but
I coaxed him into having a bottle of white wine. We chose an Italian
bottle whose name escapes me right now, which isn't a huge deal because
it was too bitter for Swimster and we wouldn't have it again anyway.
The pizza we ordered was a little bit of everything, some sausage
for Swimster the meat-lover, some sun-dried tomato bits for me, some
basil for both our tastebuds, and some clouds of sliced mozzarella
which had turned into marshmallowy looking gobs on top. Calling it
pizza seems to be a disservice. It was too light and refreshing!
I didn't feel sick after having a few slices and unlike most goes
at pizza, I actually felt like trying a new pizza the very next day.
(I think Swimster scored a couple of pieces of leftovers for the
next day's lunch attack.) The crust was paper thin and just the right
crunchiness. A pizza with no sogginess and no burnt pieces is a true
accomplishment. I decided to try some of their prosciutto and melon
appetizer I would skip next time. Not enough prosciutto and too much
melon for me. The service was very friendly and we both left glad
to have found a local joint that would please both of us, on those
many a nights when neither of us wants to call the shots, or the
restaurant.

Best Toppings in Town!
Posted by zazzyzu on 07/08/2007
I was thrilled when Posto moved to my neighborhood, I was already
traveling to the East Village joint Gruppo by the same owners. They
did not miss a step - great pizza, fantastic salads and slightly
more room then the cramped Village location. I love to sit outside
at the picnic tables, even if it is a bit loud with the Second Avenue
traffic. When you sit outside you do need to stay on top of the service...they
seem to forget about you, but always with a smile. Love the toppings
list, but have learned that less is more, you may find yourself so
wide-eyed on your first visit that you want to put TOO much on your
pizza. Keep it simple. Enjoy!

Amazing pizza!
Posted by kikoko on 01/13/2007
We were here last night for the first time and it was fantastic!
The pizza is super thin and crispy, and they have a huge variety
of toppings. The salads are large and fresh (my boyfriend and I shared
a salad and it was plenty for both of us), we had the spinach with
goat cheese and it was quite good. They also have great prices on
wine, you can get a decent bottle for about $20. The waitress was
a little inattentive, but they were completely packed and she was
running around like crazy so it's not as though she was being lazy.
Overall it was very very good, we will definitely go back.

The notion of the bartenders/waiters at Posto being rude or unprofessional
is laughable. I have been going to Posto since I moved to NYC and
the service has been impeccable, and the staff could not have been
friendlier. Once when there was no seating immediately available
for my relatives and me they served us free wine while we waited
at the bar; I didn't even ask. Their thin-crust pizza is cheap,
delicious, and comes with creative toppings, but their appetizers
like bruschetta, though I don't see them ordered often, are good
and go very well with wine. Several times I have gone to Posto
alone with a newspaper or magazine and ended up in lengthy conversations
with newfound friends--not typical in Manhattan. This is my favorite
neighborhood restaurant in New York.

The best pizza in the city.
Posted by foodkarma3 on 08/02/2006
I have eaten a lot of pizza in this city, I can appreciate the differences
in all, and I think that this is the best. Super thin crust with
just enough burnt on the bottom. Great selection of toppings but
even the plainest one with just cheese and sauce is outstanding.
They are super friendly when you call to order delivery, and they
deliver fast. They are also super friendly when you dine in, and
it has a cute little Italian restaurant atmosphere. It's cool without
really even trying to be cool. But it's all about the pizza anyway,
which is outstanding.

I've been here on dates, with groups of friends, and solo for a quick
slice/glass of wine. everyone I bring here comments on what a great
neighborhood spot it is and wants to come back again. after Posto
it's hard to go back to regular, heavy, cheesy slices. and since
it's thin crust, you don't feel as guilty when you finish almost
the whole pie.

pizza place where they make thinnest and crispest pizza. You get
to choose from a never-ending list of toppings including caramelized
onions, bella di cerignola olives, fresh spinach and shiitake mushrooms.
I got a slice with jalapenos and sweet red onions which was just
perfect after a few margaritas at Underbar. I wasn't terribly hungry

shitake, and button mushrooms with white truffle oil. Yum - can't

Not to be confused with "del posto," I decided to give this cute
looking pizza place down the street from me a try. it turns out to
be a friendly neighborhood-feeling place with thin crust pizza that
is quite good (but not exceptional). we also split the antipasto
plate, which was tasty, if not original. prices are reasonable but
not cheap ($14 for a large, $9 for a small pizza). I recommend as
a friendly joint here in this area (what area is this? gramercy?
not quite…Stuyvesant town/cooper village?) that I would go to again
for a casual meal.

I have my dear friend to thank for introducing me to this place...while
it's a tight fit (and what my mother would call an "intimate" dining
experience), the pizza is top notch. What do they do? Bake the
bare crust first - it's pita thin without being matzo-crisp - and
then bake it again with the toppings?! It's alchemy. The 'Shroomtown
will make a believer out of anyone who poo-poo's mushrooms. And
their soda fountain gets it right - it's tough to find just right
Diet Coke. Hit this.

yummmm! i got delivery from here and it was great. The pizza is so
thin that you don't feel disgustingly full after 2 (or 3!) slices.
We got one large pizza with onions, bell peppers, and 'asparagus'
which I thought was a cool different topping. We also got a small
meat pizza which is small enough that one person could eat it and
feel full but not over-full. Everything about this pizza is done
properly. There isn't an over-abundance of cheese or sauce or toppings… its
good portions which is hard to find in this calorie-happy super-sized
world. The garlic bread we got was ok - but I probably wouldn't
order that again. The delivery time was 20 minutes and on a busy
Saturday night I thought that was very decent timing. I will definitely
get pizza from here again - next time I might go and eat inside
b/c I've passed by this place and it looks cute. edit: I went inside
to pick-up a pie recently and realized that i HAD been here before.

I live 45 minutes out of the city, and somehow I find myself driving

and have had pizza from hundreds of places, and let me tell you-
POSTO is by far the most amazing pizza I have ever had. The pizza
has just the right amount of crispiness and the toppings are fresh
and delicious. The chocolate chip cookies are also the best. I don't
know why anyone would give this place a negative review. It's consistently

This is the closest thing my husband and I have to a
"regular" spot. We come here often - probably once a week
- and we are never disappointed. Our personal favorites are the house
salad and schroomtown. The personal pizzas aren't as good as the
bigger ones- I think it's because of the ratio of pie to crust -
so just opt for a large and bring extra home. You can get a good,
cheap Montepulciano and they have some good draught beers. Highly
recommended!

Good Lunch Spot
I like this place for lunch. You walk in and usually there's room
so you can sit where you like, by the window is a good spot for people
watching. They have a jukebox, good selection of tunes and a few
of my favorite beers on tap. You can have a personal pizza with 3
toppings, a beer, a chocolate chip cookie and an espresso for $20.
The service is great when I go, but the place is mostly vacant at
that time, in any case its a pretty small place, but comfortable.
This pizza is really thin but that’s so you can actually taste the
toppings! You can pay for half a pound of bread or get your tastebuds
worth of fresh mozzarella and andouille sausage with fresh artichokes.

Great pizza.
Best pizza in the neighborhood, and the best thin crust in ny. My
favorite combo is italian prosciutto with fresh mozzarella.

The best pizza in new york.
I just have to say that this place made me so happy! The pizza is
fantastic, the crust is great, the toppings are endless and creative
- whole roasted garlic, caramelized onions, need I say more! The
service is great once someone notices you! Comfy setting, dim lights,
if you're looking for anything more than salad and pizza though,
don't bother.

A homerun.
Since I stepped foot in Posto, I was smothered with the feeling of
homeyness, comfort, great relaxing music and nice wine. If you like
mushrooms, the shroomtown is to die for and basically any pizza in
there is amazing, caramelized onions as a pizza topping is as good
as it sounds too. If you like pizza with umph, something that will
satisfy you without making you feel bloated and stuffed this is the
place to go. The service is great and the salads are also worth having.
Tiramisu is far beyond mediocre, try it, you'll come back for it.

Best Pizza without the hype.
I've been ordering Posto delivery ever since they opened, and have
found myself calling them up after the meal to thank them for consistently
producing the most flavorful, evenly cooked pizza I have ever had...no
exageration. Their toppings are spectacular and allow the creative
pizza lovers to come up with some interesting combos. My favorites:
chicken, feta and black olive, italian sausage with caramelized onions,
spinach and feta. Always fresh, flavorful, never soggy in the middle
and never burnt. Thank you Posto.

Authentic Italian Thin-crust Pizza.
This tiny, unassuming restaurant on 18th and 2nd serves up some unbelievable
tasty thin-crust pizza. This is the true Italian thin-crust pizza
derived from the Romans - not the heavy, doughy crap that is served
at so many NYC pizzerias. Posto offers a wide variety of specialty
pizzas available in 9" and 16"
sizes. Try the "Shroomtown" - my personal favorite. It
features portobello, shitake and button mushrooms and a drizzle of
aromatic truffle oil which makes for a heavenly smell and taste.
Fantastic! They serve a variety of bottled sodas, draft and bottled
beer, and wine.

I loooove this place!
Posto is such a great find. I just moved into the neighborhood and
i bring everyone there. It's a sure thing. Everyone loves it. The
pizza is awesome. Atmosphere is so calm and friendly and intimate.
Highly recommended.

I live on the same block and have eaten here dozens of times; nearly
every person I bring here freaks out at how good the place is.
Pizza is among the best anywhere, super cozy (nice outdoor tables
in good weather). The people giving bad reviews are basing their
reviews on too little experience; I've been here many many times
and have brought lots of people and it's unanimous...it rocks!
And no, I am not some shill; I only want to see them stay in business.

The pizza is unbelievable(!), the service is great, and the restaurant
is so cozy +romantic. I have ordered delivery many times and it
is reasonably quick and fresh everytime. Trust me- try it.
