Most Expensive Pizza in New York City

3. Artichoke Basille’s Pizza & Brewery

Address: 328 East 14th Street (between 1st Avenue & 2nd Avenue)

For a corner joint with no seating arrangements, Artichoke Basille’s is extremely popular. The pizza spot opened in 2008 and received glowing reviews from several New York food magazines, stating that less is sometimes more. If you’re a picky eater, maybe head to another pizzeria, because this place only offers three flavour profiles: square Sicilian, classic Neapolitan, and artichoke-spinach. Although ordering an entire pizza here is rare, the large slices go quicker than lemonade on a summer’s day and start at a $3.50 a slice.

2. Una Pizza Napoletana

Address: 349 East 12th Street (between 1st Avenue & 2nd Avenue)

One of the most exquisite and expensive pizza’s in the East Village can be found at this quaint restaurant which seats about 30 people. In contrast to many other New York pizzerias, this one is only open Thursday through Sunday evenings and takes pride in serving their pizzas with fresh dough. Although the starting price for a 12-inch individual pizza is well beyond the average at $21.95, the flavour combinations are also much more exquisite and elaborate.

1. Nino’s Positano

Address: 890 2nd Ave

That New York City is home to some of the most outrageous ideas is nothing new, but when restaurant owner Nino Selimaj decided to provide his customers with a $1,000 12-inch pizza, he seemed insane even for big apple standards. However, Nino’s toppings somewhat make up for the extreme price, as this pizza features four types of caviar, thinly sliced lobster tail, crème fraiche and chives. This type of exclusive ingredients had Upper East Siders soaring and excited to try the pie, which you have to reserve ahead via phone call. So let’s give a round of applause to the man that redefined our notion of the most expensive pizza in New York City.
