  • 4. Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana

    $$

    Pepe's may serve the best pizza in the world, as so many people claim. Try the justifiably famous white-clam pie (especially good topped with bacon), but just thinking about the original tomato pie (with mozzarella) makes your mouth water.

    • Long line for a table—often an hour or more—but takeout is quicker

    In a gorgeous Beaux Arts dining room, this lively brasserie wins high marks for its updated French cuisine.
