As a Wylie fan, I've been meaning to try for a while but the seasonal ramp pizza is what got me in the door. The crust was, predictably, expertly made. The perfect amount of char and chew while still being light and airy with a crisp exterior. The seasonally available ramps are on the "sketches of spain" pizza which features a smoky romesco which marries well with the flavor of the crust. The ramps themselves were well cooked and buttery and the manchego cheese was a perfect complement. Regarding portions, I found this pizza to be slightly too large for one person to finish comfortably, but not large enough to fill up two people. There was a lot of little kids in this restaurant. The hostess was very friendly and sat me at the bar immediately. I was very pleased with my overall experience. read more

The food was spectacular here! I came in knowing that I wanted the Al pastor pizza because it sounded so unique. It was fantastic. The braised pork was perfectly flavored paired perfectly with the salsa verde. I also thought the pineapple ricotta was so creative and such a nice twist compared to putting just regular canned pineapples. The dessert was also fantastic! Usually, I don't get desserts at restaurants, but we saw a neighboring table order sundae and just couldn't miss the opportunity to try it. At first, I was worried it would taste artificial and like medicine since that's the danger of ordering cherry desserts. We were not disappointed! The sundae was delicious and not too sweet. We polished it off! The service was also great too! The staff kindly let me sit on the table to wait for my friend when most restaurants usually make you wait until all parties are there. They also let my friend and I sit for quite some time on the table chatting. Overall, very nice staff! The restaurant ambience was great! Lots open space and natural lighting. read more

Stretch Pizza is seriously an underrated gem. The pizzas are high quality, creative, and just straight-up delicious. Start with the garlic bread -- it comes with three different dips and honestly deserves its own fan club. For pizzas, the Metro is a must-try: spicy vodka sauce, pesto cream, crispy chicken, and Calabrian chilies all somehow working perfectly together. The Nellie is more offbeat, with a subtle sweetness from roasted shallots that makes it surprisingly addictive. Best part? We walked right in on a prime Saturday evening. That probably won't last long...so I'd suggest getting here before everyone else catches on. read more

Is it worth the hype? Overall, I think so! The pizzas were excellent, great texture with the right amount of crisp and chewiness. Plenty of diverse topping options. The salads were a bit of a disappointment, quite plain and not much in the way of variety. Meatball sliders were bomb. Good service, a little on the pricey side though. read more

Crisp.....flavorful.....that's the slice of cheese pizza that I relished yesterday at Stretch Pizza. Allison took my order and I sat at the bar. Why do I like coming here? Stretch is a beautiful bright spacious restaurant with lovely art work and pleasant employees. Yesterday I also had a conversation with Chef Wylie who is pleasant, funny and kind. read more

Pleasantly surprised by how good the pie & meatball sliders were here - I ordered a Pepperoni and it really good flavor and excellent crust, even after delivery! And the sliders .. damn! They might've stolen the show honestly. In between some sweet garlic bread with some onions on top, these were damn tasty. Will absolutely order again read more

Fun creative pizza options with a good base dough! My fav was the Al Pastor! It's all in the details. Followed by Everything Bagel Pizza, aside it was served slightly lukewarm. The concept is great. The only downside was for the private room larger group, the service was sooooo slow. It's like no one wants to clean the table or check on us... Quite awful on that. read more

We recently tried this Pizza place in Flatiron when a friend from Vancouver was visiting us -- he's vegan, so we were on the hunt for a good vegan-friendly spot. We stumbled upon this place by chance, and wow, what a find! We were lucky to get a table at the bar without a reservation (though I'd definitely recommend booking ahead next time). The ambiance was super cool and lively, with a great vibe all around. We even had a 4-month-old baby with us, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating -- they made sure we were comfortable even at the bar. We started with the Garlic Bread, which was absolutely delicious. It came with two different dips that paired perfectly with the warm, fluffy bread -- a total must-try. For the main, we ordered the Classic NY Pizza, which features tomato sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan. Since our friend is vegan, we asked them to make half with cheese and half without, and they were more than happy to do it. Both versions were equally amazing -- flavorful, fresh, and perfectly baked. They also have a great drinks selection; I even saw a couple enjoying a bottle of wine with their pizza -- such a perfect combo! Next time, I'm definitely coming back to enjoy my pizza with some wine. Stretch Pizza exceeded all expectations -- excellent food, warm service, and an awesome vibe. Highly recommend! read more

The pizza here was really good. I only tried the Alpi (riobolina, black truffle, mozzarella, garlic cream). Came out fresh. The black truffle and garlic cream smells so good. Unfortunately, this is not on the menu but it was part of a collab they had with Tilit. Can't wait to come back and try their other pizzas. read more

Great pizza and appetizers at this not super popular spot! I like coming here because of the pizza - lots of unique flavors and high quality ingredients. I especially like the pepperoni square pizza and the stranger! This spot is a great sit down spot with good vibes, although I do think it can get a bit noisy at times. My only other complaint is the prices can be a bit high - the pizza has good value, but the wings are quite steep for only 6 pieces. Other than that though, highly recommend checking this place out! read more

A hidden gem. Hidden by scaffolding but a gem nonetheless. The meatballs may be the best I've had ever. The Al pastor and stranger pizzas will get you hooked. If you can imagine the best version of banana soft serve, they have it. Cannot recommend the food enough. The servers were quick and did not push us at all. I wish this was a local pizza place but my waistline is glad it isn't. The interior is also very nice but if it was a dump, I'd still go. read more

You know how you see a meatball sandwich on TV, and then you want one, so you go through all this effort to find one and buy it, and then you get home and bite into it and it's never as good as how you imagined it would be? That is not THIS meatball sandwich. This is the meatball sandwich YOUR meatball sandwich dreams about. This is the meatball sandwich that Joey Tribbiani dove to protect in FRIENDS and caused an episodic rift between him and Chandler. The cheese pull alone is worthy of an Olympic gold medal, but the sauce; THE SAUCE, is an EGOT. Pizza was fine. Get the meatball. read more

Absolutely incredible pizza! We tried the French onion-inspired pie and it was easily one of the best things I've had in a long time--super flavorful and unique. The pizza with the date syrup was also amazing, such a great combo of sweet and savory. Dessert did not disappoint either. Huge shoutout to our server Nicholas--he was so sweet and gave us some awesome NYC recs. The service overall was excellent. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be stopping by again. read more

I loved everything about this place: great food, great service, great spot. (Plugs at every booth. Hooks to hang your stuff. These details matter.) We had the pepperoni square pizza and the al pastor. The dough on the square pizza was incredibly light. This isn't a Detroit-style square with a heavy, cheese-encrusted crust. Delicious sauce. The al pastor was great too -- the pineapple crema added some sweetness to it. Definitely not a traditional topping. And the crust on this pizza was just textbook: perfect. For dessert, we each had one of the soft serves. I had the blueberry with shortbread crumble and lemon olive oil drizzle. The husband had the vanilla with a chocolate hard-shell. Gotta say: that vanilla was exquisite. We will definitely be back as there were several other pizzas we'd like to try, as well as the meatball sliders. Big big thumbs up. read more

Came for the Caesar salad and it did not disappoint. Perfect portion, loved the use of tahini, cheese was fluffy and romaine was crisp. It's a little pricey but based on location and how much salad you get, it's fair. Would definitely return. read more

Stretch Pizza - Caesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

This place was delicious to say the least. The Nellie was the main reason we came and it did not disappoint with three different types of shallot (pickled fried roasted) on a bed of white sauce. This restaurant is huge innovator and all of the food was dynamic in flavor going from the Caesar salad to the Nellie. I noticed while the salad was packed with flavor; it was lacking a kick compared to a more traditional dressing. Classic NY was a standard pie; delicious and hits the spot, but nothing show-stopping. Nellie : 9.1 Classic : 7.5 Caesar Salad: 6.2 Green goddess sauce: 7.1 Blackened scallion ranch: 8.1 Stretch sauce: 3.0 Service and ambiance reminded me of a little pizza parlor with the music and all around hands. Huge fan of this place and will definitely be returning. read more

Tasty pie. Next time I'll ask them to hold the copious amounts of parm they put on top. But that's a personal preference.

Delivery was amazing! Pizza is delicious. Definitely going to be ordering from them again.

Came on a Sunday night with a reservation for 4, was seated quickly and service was great. We ordered the Al pastor pizza, shallot pizza, and mushroom. Crust was good but nothing amazing. The shallot pizza could've used a little more acidity as well as the Al pastor. Convenient spot if close by and they do have interesting pizza flavors read more

Let me preface this by saying I'm a fan of Wylie Dufresne (and the long shuttered WD-50, which was a beacon in the New York culinary scene many moons ago). His career trajectory has been curious: avante-garde Michelin starred cuisine followed by doughnuts and then pizza, food for the masses. Anyway, because it was a Dufresne stamped pizza joint, I knew I was going to love this place. Also, it's pizza. Even bad pizza is better than no pizza. I made reservations for 8:30 midweek- expecting a crowd, but I was surprised to see the restaurant more empty than full. A smattering of patrons at the bar. Hubs and I had the front section of the restaurant to ourselves. We ordered the potato chip salad I'd read so much about, one of the daily specials - the al pastor pizza , and one of their regular pizzas (the couch potato). The salad was good but I felt it was a little underdressed. The salt and vinegar chips were a nice touch, and the herbs, thinly shaved radish, and heirloom salad greens were fresh. I would have loved more dressing. The al pastor pie was so tasty. There was smokiness and light heat imparted by peppers (guajillo?) imparted into the tomato sauce. There was some sweetness (pineapple, I'm guessing) and the rich meatiness of pork. The couch potato was decadent, almost exactly like a classic baked potato loaded with bacon and sour cream, and dusted with some harder nutty cheese on top, alongside some scallions. This was tasty as well. Also, the crust of these pies were among the best I've had. Crispy, light, and pillow-ey. I'm not normally a crust girl, but I polished these up. I don't understand why this place does not have a line out the door. Good value for the quality. Friendly staff, clean, modern space - but hey, more pizza for the rest of us. read more

Elevated pizza place that doesn't break the bank. Very good value. Meatball Sliders - the bread was good. Maybe I'm just not a meatball person. 3/5 Buffalo chicken square pizza 3/5. Felt like it could have used more chicken Old Town - Mushroom, muenster, garlic cream, and pumpernickel. This was what made me realize that this place knows how to make pizza 5/5 read more

Good pizza and a nice sit down area. The server I had seemed confused when I asked for a recommendation on how many pizzas to get for a group of 4, which was odd. We ordered three pizzas, the classic Ny, the shallot pizza and the mushroom pizza. The last two pizzas were both white pizzas with similar bases, so I'd probably get something different next time, but they were both good! The groups favorite was the Classic NY. Would highly recommend the Stretch sauce to eat with your crust! read more

Wylie Dufresne knows a thing or two about putting together the right ingredients for the most unique and delicious flavor combinations, and now we get his big brain applying this sorcery to pizza. I never imagined the likes of garlic cream, dan dan chicken, or shallots to replace the usual pizza toppings. With the help of the brains behind Breads Bakery, Stretch Pizza is a longtime vision which started out as a pop up come to life with this full service, sit down format. I've now dined here thrice, including twice in their semi-private back room, and they've knocked it out of the park each time. I've been fortunate to mostly dine here with big groups, so I've tried a little bit of everything. I've enjoyed their chickpea fries, and shishito peppers as apps. It's hard to choose which pizza I like best-- it might be a toss up between the Nellie with shallots three ways: fried, roasted, and pickled, or the Danny Boy, a square slice with dan dan chicken, vodka sauce, cilantro, and scallions. The everything bagel pizza sounds good in theory, but was too unctuous and the flavor fell flat and no one at our table reached for seconds. For a gag it's fun to order their dorito margarita if they have it, made with the Doritos x Empiral liquer and crushed up doritos on the rim. I've now tried it twice for some reason and it tastes worse as it gets watered down by the ice. But it's still fun to get. A buzz is a buzz and it goes to the same place anyway. For my birthday, they customized the menu and we got to pick the apps, pies, and dessert that would come out, all served family style. There was plenty of food for all of us and then some. Definitely try the soft serve, it's one of the best ever. read more

Stretch Pizza offers a variety of creative toppings, but at its heart, is a pretty traditional NY slice shop, even if the pizza comes served in the form of 12 inch pies. The classic pie tasted pretty much exactly like the one I would get from any of the old school corner joints. The best bite of the meal was actually the pesto mozzarella sticks. My least favorite bite was the "Stretch Sauce," which we ordered to go with our pizza crust and tasted peculiarly artificial. read more

First time tried the everything bagel pizza and it was definitely an interesting twist. Almost like a bagel met a slice of New York pizza. Service was nothing crazy, got what I needed, nothing more, nothing less. You could do reservations, but we didn't need one. They also have alcohol if you're into that. Worth a try if you're looking for something different. read more

Great pizza, great dipping sauces. Loved this place and would return for sure. Got it to go but looked cute inside.

Servers were really nice and attentive, didn't feel rushed even though we got there close to closing time. We got a pepperoni pizza with peppers and two sodas. Pizza was nice and toasted on the crust with a flavorful sauce and the right amount of cheese, the peppers were really good in addition to the regular pepperoni, 10/10. The place its self was nice and very clean the booths we sat at were very comfortable and even had charging ports, this is the kind of space you can come to catch up with family or friends, we loved it as tourist! read more

Delicious pizza and sides! So glad I tried this place. From what I've heard from others, these pizza are much better eaten very fresh, and I was fortunate enough to have eaten them at the restaurant instead of takeout. The standout of the night was the Nellie pizza, but all the appetizer/small plates we tried were pretty great too. Service was fast and courteous, and the noise level is very moderate, making it a great place to catch up with friends. Will definitely be back! read more

5 pizzas, many apps, a cocktail and just a little ice cream later... they had to basically roll me out of this restaurant. Stretch is a very cool, very delicious spot right in Flatiron. Come for the good food, great drinks, and trendy vibes. Our group of 10 got seated in the perfect little outcove back room. If your group is 12 or less, this is the nook to get. We were out of the way and could hear each other. I know I sound really old... but does it always have to be so loud?! Thank you, Stretch for the reasonable volume. We started with cocktails and it was probably the toughest choice of the night. I went with the On The ZL (lemon and mezcal sold it) but everything on the drinks menu looked amazing and so creative. My drink was soooo tasty, but pricey at $20. We started with a few apps: the poblano peppers, meatball sliders, basil chickpea fries and the brussel sprouts (on the specials menu). We got a couple of each so our big group could all get a try of everything and I don't think a single sprout was leftover. Everything was gooood! My favorites had to be the brussel sprouts, peppers, even the chickpea fries (kind of just tasted like falafel). The meatball sliders were great, but I think a little too heavy when we have like 7 pizzas coming our way shortly. Okay on to the stars, the reason we are all here, the pizzas. We tried a lot. But the standouts for me were the Oddfather (eggplant & zucchini) & the Nellie (shallots, shallots and more shallots). The Everything (literally an everything bagel - cream cheese and all) was good, but not for me, but good! We ended our night with a couple soft serve ice creams to share, because there is always room for ice cream. Go, eat, enjoy! You'll love it. read more

3.5 stars - We had the non-alcoholic drinks, Roll the Spice and Passion Fizz. I'd say the passion fizz tasted as you'd expect. Roll the Spice was good as well; it didn't taste much like grapefruit. We started with the Caesar salad and meatball sliders. Both were good. The salad was very citrusy. We had the Danny Boy and Stranger pizzas. Biggest disappointment was the lack of toppings. The Danny Boy is a square pizza. It wasn't much of a pizza; it was bread with sauce, at least very good bread. We didn't think there was any chicken on it as there's supposed to be. The stranger pizza has sausage and roasted red peppers. It was a great pizza but it could've just been a plain. You could barely taste any sausage. When I tasted a roasted red pepper I loved it; great topping! read more

We came for a group dinner of 8 people and it was the perrrfect location for that. They have a cute semi private room with a large table that's really great for a group - perfect spot for a team lunch or dinner. I started with their special cocktail, with crushed Doritos on the outside and a tomatillo flavor profile. Very cool, the Dorito really came through and it was a clever pairing. We ordered 2 chickpea fries, 2 brussel sprouts, meatball sliders, Shisho, peppers, and six different pizzas. This turned out to be the perfect amount of food for eight people. From all the pizzas we tried, my favorites were Oddfather with eggplant and the Nellie with shallots 3 ways. Also loved the meatball slider and sprouts. Pizza was good, but it's great location and ambience for affordable group meals. Would definitely recommend and would come back! read more

The first time we tried to casually walk in to Stretch, it was packed to the gills and louder than a Hardwell rave. I noped out of there faster than the Road Runner facing an anvil. When we finally got in to Stretch, it was with another casual walk-in at 4:30pm on a blustery Saturday afternoon. To be fair, we did have a 5:30pm reservation, but they happily seated us earlier because it was just us and a few sets of parents with their hungry toddlers. I think this is the first pizza meal I've ever had where I didn't have at least one red sauce pizza. It made me cry a little--because tomato sauce is my life--but not nearly as much as I thought I would. And that's because the two 'zas we did get were delightfully fulfilling. The Reading was as Philly as its name, and chock full of succulent roast pork and healthy broccolini, mixed in with delicious aged provolone. The Danny Boy, though--that's where Stretch's creativity really shone. Take it from someone whose people invented dan dan noodles--this pizza that utilizes dan dan chicken, cilantro and scallions is the best Chinese/Asian-flavored pizza you'll ever find. Like the first horse-drawn carriage, it just worked. Even their mocktails are tasty. We got the Roll the Spice, which uses Chinese five spice, and it was a great flavor bomb. And while I normally skip dessert at casual restaurants, we were not wrong to get the S'mores Soft Serve to go. It was the perfect finisher. Bonus: Meeting and chatting with Wylie Dufresne while he was taking a break from the kitchen. Yet another advantage to going during off-peak hours. read more

Hubs and I have been wanting to come here for a while. We read about the chef and were excited that he opened up a pizza place. We were immediately seated after arriving. The restaurant is long, with white walls, white floors that look like honeycomb, and a bar with cubbyholes that go on for miles. A mounted display case showing off decorated pizza boxes hangs near the front and a row of red booths go all the way to the back as well. A small standing dining area can be seen in the back too. We ordered the following: Roasted Oyster Mushroom, which has butternut squash, sunflower seed brittle. Daughter loved this a lot. Hubs said that he didn't know what to expect but he loved it, also. I thought it was pretty good, as well. Yolks On You, which has egg yolk, asparagus, pickled red onion, mozzarella, parmesan, chives. Hubs loved everything that was on this pie, but he was underwhelmed when he tasted it. Daughter liked this also, but she preferred Stranger pie because she likes tomato sauce on her pizza. I thought the egg drizzle on the pie was a little weird. Stranger, which has sweet fennel sausage, roasted peppers, tomato sauce. Daughter liked it a lot and thought the pizza was nice and thin and tasty. I liked the crust a lot because it was nice and poofy. Hubs said that he preferred Stranger pie more. This is unusual because he doesn't usually like meat and pizza. Maybe, he preferred tomato sauce on his pies. Overall, Hubs liked both pizzas because it was nice and chewy on the top and the bottom was crispy. He liked the crust as well because it was poofy. Service was quick and friendly. I'm glad that we got a chance to give this place a try. Will return when in the area to try other items on the menu. read more
