Fodor's Expert Review Pizzeria Magpie

Although a few inspired appetizers are available, it's really all about the pizza and oysters at this casual, unpretentious spot. Tucked away on a small side street in The Village, this classic pizzeria with white-washed walls and pressed tin ceiling turns out some of the best wood-burning oven pizza the city has to offer. Favorites include the Magpie Margherita with bocconcini (small mozarella cheese balls), fresh basil, and San Marzano tomatoes, and the three-cheese meatball pizza. Start with fresh oysters; there's a fantastic selection at affordable prices. The simple homemade desserts are a hit, too.

There's a second location in Mile End.
