Limelight Original Famous Coal Fired Brick Oven Pizzeria NYC

The food I ordered was good. The meatball sandwich is excellent. The service was great, especially if the server is a sexy girl, thumbs up for her work. The atmosphere is of a typical Italian sit-down restaurant with some finance bros having a meal and flexing on each other. Will visit again when I'm back in NYC. Bonus: Soda is overpriced here, so just get water. It's healthier anyway. *Tipping not required, but they really appreciate it even if you give a small amount than what is expected at Manhattan.

Found this pizzeria as I was walking around the area, and had a tasty late lunch/early dinner. Ordered a personal "The Don" (pictured) and really enjoyed it. While the dining area is cozy (this is NYC), and all it takes is one rude group to sprawl over 2 extra tables than they need, the service was very nice and prompt, pizza was tasty, and ambiance was very chill. Worth giving it a try if you're in the mood for some good pizza.

Must try. Amazing food, even better staff

Five star pizza ! Superb taste and i really like it. Fresh ingredients and new baked from the oven are good! Staff are helpful. Definitely will go back again. Credit card accepted. Enjoy!

Limelight Pizza is hands down one of the best pizza spots in NYC and an absolute must-visit for food lovers! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the heavenly aroma of coal-fired perfection. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. We started with the garlic knots, which were dripping in mozzarella and served with an indulgent vodka sauce—seriously, the cheese pull was next-level! The fresh antipasto platter was a fantastic addition, featuring high-quality imported prosciutto and perfectly oven-roasted peppers. We also tried their homemade meatballs smothered in melted mozzarella, which were incredibly tender and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was their Hot Honey-drenched After Hours pizza. It was a true flavor explosion, combining the perfect balance of sweet and spicy with their perfectly crisp coal-fired crust. It’s the kind of pizza you dream about long after the last bite! One of the best things about Limelight Pizza is that they’re open late on weekends (until 4 AM!), making it the perfect spot to satisfy your midnight cravings. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Whether you're grabbing a slice, sharing a late-night feast, or indulging in their legendary calzones, Limelight Pizza delivers every single time. Highly recommend visiting this iconic NYC gem—bring your crew and prepare to be wowed!

This place is a gem. The pizza was delicious- I ordered mine well done and it was perfect! The service great. A super cool atmosphere with outdoor seating that’s got a great city view but is also away from the road/cars. The building looks like an old church- it’s very cool. Highly recommend. A bit pricey pizza but it’s NYC.

Better than the Grimaldi‘s that used to have a location here. Yeah, I know I know. I typically don’t eat in the same place twice when traveling, but I’ve made a tradition of eating here on every trip . Been traveling to NYC every four months for the past six years and I love this place.

This place very nostalgic if you knew the limelight club then you know this place The pizza here I must say is very good and it's cute because you see a lot of nostalgic stuff on the walls
