This blue-collar tavern with the motto “In crust we trust” sits in the Port Richmond section of Staten Island and has been serving up gooey, piping-hot pizza since its doors opened in 1937. Local families flock to the kid-friendly 150-seater for the 16-inch brick-oven pies, fried calamari, buffalo wings, platters (think sausage and meatballs) and heroes—including a unique shrimp offering. On the weekends it gets packed, so come early. For dessert, head across the street to Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices.
