Louie & Ernie's Pizza

Started by a pair of brothers (hence the name) in Harlem in 1947, this pizzeria migrated north to Pelham Bay in 1959 and operates in a charming house-turned-restaurant today. Should you need a little pizza-adjacent appetizer while you wait for your order, slices and pies at Louie & Ernie’s are joined by half-a-dozen Calzones in varieties like Chicken Parm to Broccoli Rabe. The pizza crust here is yeasty and crisp, and the thin layer of sauce and shredded cheese make for an easy folded slice to eat on the move, if that’s your thing.
