Umberto's of New Hyde Park
If you ask any Long Islander where to get the best pizza on the island, Umberto's will almost certainly come up in the conversation. This New Hyde Park institution has been serving legendary slices since 1965, and they've earned every bit of their reputation.
Their grandma slice is the stuff of legend — a perfect square of slightly charred, crispy-bottomed goodness with just the right amount of tangy tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella. The Sicilian is equally famous, with a thick, airy crust that manages to be both substantial and light.
The secret? Three generations of the same family using the same recipes, the same techniques, and the same commitment to quality that made them famous in the first place. Some things just shouldn't change.
