TIA.

Rubirosa is our favorite. Quick Uber or cab ride to 235 Mulberry st. Book well in advance if possible, extremely difficult to get a reservation within a couple weeks.

As a New Yorker, this means a 20 minute walk. That translates to 1 mile. There are loads of pizza places in the area. I’m sure they’ll like where ever they go. If you wanted to know some pizza places on the upper westside, I can help. it’s a short ride on the subway to Mama’s Too pizza at 2750 Broadway between 105th and 106th street. https://mamastoo.com/
They should walk west on 60th street from 5th ave and take the Broadway local north at Columbus Circle. Get off at the 103rd street stop. After they eat, walk north along Broadway as far as 114th street. This is the Columbia/Barnard area. Classic old apartment buildings and homes + shopping. You’ll see locals and college students wandering about.
In my opinion (everyone in NY has an opinion on pizza), Mama’s Too isa as close to Di Fara’s as you’re going to get, without heading to Brooklyn. It’s been my favorite place for over a year, and I have to make an effort to get there.
Dan,
As a lifelong New Yorker, I wouldn’t want to walk 20 minutes in late December.
Looking for a place within ten blocks of where they are staying.
John’s on 64th St may work for them.

Looks like they’ve closed.
there’s a johns in times square.
Don Antonio on 50th and I think 8th is pretty good. Really no top tier places in that area that I can think of.
There is a Robertas in Urban Space on Lexington and 51st.
There’s a John’s in Times Square (44th Street). Not at the very pinnacle, but a very good pie

Pies are of similar quality to Brooklyn?

the one at vanderbilt is no longer wood fired not sure of the other one. i generally feel their pizza is a shadow of what it once was, but the gas powered ovens just makes it very average.
Just in case any socal people are watching this thread with envy there’s this place in Aliso Viejo

The best “NY style” pizza not from NY and before the NYers scream about the water is the secret to the crush, I know, but this could pass all day for a legit pie.

water is irrelevant.
also, wtf is marina sauce?
Our Sauce: We make our Marina sauce fresh from scratch, made with fresh tomatoes daily, right on our premises.
water is irrelevant.
Folklore is the NYC water is why the crust is good.
A hard look at the ingredients that make our pizza something special.
