Motorino Pizza 8.7
Upper West Side (Central)
Motorino’s Upper West Side outpost serves Neapolitan-style, wood-fired pies near the Museum of Natural History, making it an easy sit-down choice for families who care about crust. The compact room runs busy but stays relaxed enough for kids, with friendly service and a menu of familiar toppings alongside their famous Brussels sprouts pizza.
Must-Try Dishes: Margherita pizza, Brussels sprouts and pancetta pizza, Soppressata piccante pizza
