    There is also a John's (sit down place) on 44th and 8th, which gets a lot of the pre-broadway show crowd. It's good, but maybe a notch below some of the places we're discussing (just one man's humble opinion, though) and I prefer the John's on Bleeker St., although I can never figure out if they are actually related. If you do John's / Time Square, the house salad is good. ... their salads come in big bowls, can be shared by a table and all of them are seasoned and dressed really well.

    Both.

    But if put to the decision, I'd go with Pepe's because my good buddy is the general manager.

    Thanks to Ragu for updating the Grimaldi's situation. In some ways, it was better to grab a pie in Hoboken, where it was a little easier to get a table and enjoy. That was all a few years ago ... *sigh*.

    Didn't know the backstory. And, by all means, listen to these folks. They will NOT steer you wrong. I'm not native ... for the time being, anyway.

    I ate at Juliana's a couple of years ago during my only trip to NYC. Damn good pizza. Pair it with a Sixpoint beer, and you're set.

    I would imagine pretty much anyplace in NY other than a Sbarro, Pizza Hut or Domino's is better than the best pizza up here in the Boston area. I lived in NJ for a couple years as a teenager and you could find a better slice at any random nondescript strip mall than you could anywhere in New England (most of it is the Greek-style crunchy crust, sweet sauce, weird cheese garbage that my kids swear by. Any pizza from a place that calls itself a "Spa" or a "House of Pizza" is absolutely to be avoided, especially if it also advertises "Syrian bread" as an option for its subs. Stick with the gyros).

    Greek pizza is a scourge upon the earth. It sucks beyond any comprehension.

    Make sure you pack some heat.

    Hey. ... if you haven't left yet, assume you are going to Grimaldi's or Juliana's. If you have room left afterward, head down Water Street, about a 3 minute walk from there into DUMBO afterward, and if you like really good chocolate, check out Jacques Torres on Water St. You can't go wrong with anything there. ... if they still have ice cream (not sure when they stop), it's really good. Real vanilla bean in the vanilla, real coffee ground into the coffee ice cream, etc.

    Also, across the street, the old Empire Stores Warehouse has been converted into a giant food court and offices. Go inside and have a look around. If you head out the back and climb the stairs, there is a really nice view of the bridges and lower Manhattan.
