New York's Best Restaurants that are most frequently booked by customers of Ribalta New York
😍 5/5 - I was in NYC on a Sunday and the #2 ranked pizza spot in

I was in NYC on a Sunday and the #2 ranked pizza spot in the world (actually #3 because there was a tie for #1) Una was closed. Luckily for me, Ribalta was open and was also ranked in the Top 10. This restaurant is located near Greenwich Village, a short walk from Washington Park. Upon walking in, I was mildly dissapointed and somewhat skeptical. The interior design looked more like something out of a beachside town like Santa Monica, CA. Kind of modern-coastal vibes with lots of white and neon. It just looks like a touristy spot ... and worse yet, the faux leather benches were torn and flaking in spots and covered in somewhat iffy throw pillows. I am glad that I did not judge a book by its cover. As a somewhat expert on Neopolitan pizza, I've had the best in the world in Naples ... and the top rated ones in the US. I still put Pasquale's in Rhode Island towards the top spot, along with Naples offshoot Pizzaria Antical di Michelle in West Hollywood, CA. (The NYC offshoot closed) From a purely pizza standpoint, I'd put Ribalta in my top 10 or 15. You'll never get cheese as good as the Fior di Latte in Naples. It's otherworldly and, it seems, impossible to recreate. The sauce at Ribalta is made with cherry tomatoes from near Mount Vesuvius and I'd believe it because the sauce is as good as any I've ever had on a pizza. The crust gets an 8.5 - 9. It's light and airy ... somewhat floppy in the middle and good enough that you'll want to eat the crust. While a very solid recreation of Neopilitan pizza, it lacks perfection in a few ways: - The ingredients are good but something was just off. This is not to say it wasn't great pizza ... I'd still put it in my top 10 - 15 US pizzas. However, maybe the ratio of cheese/sauce/basil was slightly off. It seemed a tad dry. Not sure why ... maybe a bit more cheese was needed, or a spritz of oil. - Obviously, things in NYC are going to be more expensive. I won't compare the value of this to Naples, where $12 buys you a pizza and a beer. After tip, a single Margherita pizza (not even bufalo mozerella) and beer was almost $50. That's just a lot to pay for a pizza. Overall, while I wasn't impressed with the decor, the pizza was a solid 9 ... if you like authentic Neopiltian pizza. If you are looking for NYC style pizza ... this isn't it. I have heard that John's nearby is the spot for NYC style pizza, although I wasn't that impressed and would choose Prince Street Pizza for NYC style pizza. I would return here if I was craving Neopilitan style pizza, if not for the sauce alone, although the world is catching up to Naples.
