We used to go to Barone's all the time, until Mulberry Street opened.
Best pizza I ever had was in NYC at Rocky Lee's Chu Cho Bianco (RIP).
Sinatra used to order his from there when he was in town. Right up there as well was Mimi's on Lexington between 84th and 85th (RIP).
Bobby Flay got his start working there and it was Paul McCartneys go-to pie. My daughter lives in the village and likes John's on Bleecker St. I like that too but it is too much of a rugby scrum to order. I want a slice, not an elbow in the kidneys. |
Barones was also used in the recent Movie "Licorice Pizza", which was filmed all over the Valley. Let's not forget the place Frank used to eat at regularly on Magnolia, down the street from you. JOE PEEPS. Lido/Chi Chis has a great old school Italian pie too.
