Rubirosa Restaurant Review: Best Crispy Thin Crust Pizza in NYC

Picture by Adam Kuban

Last night I had my Vday celebration before the price-fixe, two-top tables take over the city. It was the perfect place! What says true love better than a crispy thin crust New York Style pizza? I had been craving that perfectly crispy pizza and let me just say I was not disappointed! It was effing excellent. 

We started off with the Mozzarella sticks. Who has seen a fried mozzarella stick on a menu since the 90s? Not I. They need to make a comeback because they were awesome. 

We tried the Scampi bruschetta and the Mushroom bruschetta. I'd say the mushroom was way better but the scampi was interesting.

The pizza though is where it's at. We got half a classic and half vodka. Both were exquisite. But I must caution you, as the recipient of a slight pizza burn, that $hit gets HOTT! So don't scarf it down the second they bring it.

The cannolis were the perfect way to end the meal.

Everything is just perfect here. Handmade and delicious I would be shocked if there was something not good on the menu. But if you're going there with a lighter appetite than I, the pizza is the show so make sure to get at least a slice.

It's a small, intimate space with wallpaper like your grandmother would have. The wine menu is very reasonable. You won't break the bank here but you'll feel like you owe them a million bucks!
