Authentic Neapolitan pizza w/ separate GF oven & charming patio. Great for dates or groups.
Will Hartman reviews Kesté, a Financial District pizzeria known for its charming patio and Neapolitan pizzas, suggesting classic choices for a satisfying meal.
This Financial District pizzeria offers a delightful dining experience, complete with a charming patio perfect for a casual lunch. They specialize in authentic Neapolitan pizzas, featuring a delightfully doughy crust with a perfectly blistered and crunchy exterior. While classic choices like the Margherita are recommended, the reviewer suggests that the tomato flavor could be more pronounced, though the pizzas generally satisfy any Neapolitan pizza craving. They also boast a significant gluten-free menu to accommodate various dietary needs.
The restaurant is highly regarded for its Neapolitan-style pizzas, with many users specifically praising its gluten-free pizza options due to a separate wood-fired oven. Some users consider it one of the best pizza places in NYC, though one opinion suggests the dough can be inconsistent and another found the focaccia di recco not recommended.
"The Margherita pizza and bianco with prosciutto are recommended classics. Additionally, the Montenaro Cacio e Pepe fried pizza is highlighted as outstanding, and gluten-free pizza and pasta options are available."
Customers generally have a very positive sentiment towards this restaurant, frequently recommending it for its pizza and noting its accommodating nature for gluten-free options.
