Ribalta Pizza (Union Square/East Village)

Ribalta Pizza is an Authentic Neapolitan Restaurant in the heart of NYC. Leading Ribalta Pizza is a “pizza dream team”, who have already individually made their reputation in the New York City pizza world and are dedicated to providing the most delicious, fun, and truly Neapolitan pizza experience in the city.

I was invited to the restaurant a couple of weeks ago for a complimentary meal. And let me tell you…… words cannot describe to you how good the pizza was. While it’s definitely different & lighter from a traditional NYC slice, it was still some of the best pizza I’ve had in NYC to date. Contributing to its authentic pizza experience, Ribalta Pizza sources most of its ingredients from Italy, including the flours for their pizza dough. The rest of the ingredients are sourced locally.

The small plates were also delicious, notably the Zucchine Scapece and the meatballs were my favorite.  And, although it’s just “Spaghetti” I really enjoyed Rabalta’s authentic version of this classic dish.

Overall, Ribalta Pizza is a must try if you’re in the area and it’s also a good place to take your out of town guests.
