See Which NYC Pizza Places Were Ranked The Best In The City

NEW YORK CITY — New Yorkers hoping to grab a slice of pizza this weekend, look no further: A guide to the city's top 29 pizza places, courtesy of TimeOut New York, has arrived.

"Imagine a town so certain of its pizza superiority that its denizens seem to go to pieces when officials dare to dine with knives and forks, its highest electeds take to social media to battle the matter and some ascribe mystical powers to the local tap water that helps form the dough," TimeOut's editors wrote. "That's Pizza Town, baby, less commonly known as New York City."

There was a heavy Brooklyn showing in the top 5, and the award for best NYC pizza place went to Midwood's Di Fara Pizza.

"Yes, you may have to wait for more than an hour to try this Midwood institution, and yes, it does have another easier location in Williamsburg, but a trip to the original 56-year-old standard-setting shop is essential for pizza lovers and dabblers everywhere," TimeOut's editors wrote of Di Fara. "It's also where original owner Dom DeMarco still makes the dough and hand-tears basil each day."

Carroll Gardens' Lucali took the second place spot. Its consistent high placements on pizza rankings keep interest levels high and lines long, so TimeOut suggested pizza lovers "get there right at 5 p.m. and prepare to build up an appetite in the area for several hours."

Ops, in Bushwick, which TimeOut called "no-frills-yet-elegant," came in third.

The list of top 10 best pizza places in New York City is:

1. Di Fara Pizza, Midwood
2. Lucali, Carroll Gardens
3. Ops, Bushwick
4. L&B Spumoni Gardens, Gravesend
5. Mama's Too, Upper West Side
