Patsy's Pizza at 206 E 60th (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues), NY
Patsy's has the best pizza that I've eaten in NY. I've tried quite a few places including Lombardy's in Little Italy, but Patsy's has the edge.
We had lunch at Patsy's this past Friday (9/9/05). There were 7 of us in the group so we were able to try a wider selection of items. We started off with the Fried Calamari and the Fried Eggplant and Zucchini with Garlic Yogurt appetizers. The calamari was very good, but the eggplant was really great. The eggplant and zucchini were thinly sliced and deep fried like potato chips.
Our next course consisted of two salads, the Mista salad and the Siciliana salad. Both were fresh, well seasoned and dressed with enough dressing to add flavor but not enough to make the salads soggy. The mista salad is basically a mixed green salad with tomatoes, carrots, olives and a red wine vinaigrette. The Siciliana is a mixed green salad with mozzarella cheese, roasted peppers, black olive, artichoke hearts, anchovies, tomatoes, carrots and and Italian dressing. We've had the Sicilian before without the anchovies, but they really help to make this salad.
Along with the salads we had a family size portion of penne alla vodka. The portion was more than enough to feed all of us even if we didn't order other items. The pasta was prepared al dente and the generously dressed with the vodka sauce.
Finally we had a large pizza with prosciutto. Everyone was able to have a large slice, with one left over. We usually order the pizza with prosciutto, but this time it was sliced a little thicker than usual which made is more difficult to eat. The taste was still very good, but it wasn't up to the same quality that we had during our past 7 or 8 visits.
The service is pretty good, but could be a little more attentive.
Our biggest complaint is the noise from outside. Patsy's has doors along the front side of the restaurant that can be slid open during days when the weather is nice. Unfortunately, it is located on a very busy street with lots and lots of large trucks travelling on it. At times we couldn't carry on a normal conversation because of the noise from outside.
It is well worth the trip, but I recommend the place when it is too chilly outside to have the doors left open.
The offer a wide selection of good wine and have Bass Ale on tap.
Their telephone number is (212) 688-9707.

Additional comment:
We went to another Patsy's (upper west side) and it wasn't as good as the one on 60th Street. The service at the upper west side location was just as good as the place on 60th, but the food wasn't quite as good.
