Authentic Neapolitan pizza in the West Village. Casual date night vibe with lively house music and thin-crust pies.
Will Hartman reviews L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele, a West Village spot praised for its casual date night vibe and authentic Neapolitan pizzas, highlighting their thin crust and flavorful Margherita.
This West Village Italian spot, an outpost of a Naples original, offers a casual yet lively atmosphere perfect for a date night. Their 15-inch Neapolitan pizzas are cooked in an imported brick oven, with the Margherita being a standout for its fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. While the thin crust might be less chewy, the overall experience is a flavorful journey to Naples.
