John's Pizzeria on West 44th Street. Very good pizza and pasta entrees. Renovated church atmoshpere is kind of cool, should appeal to you and the teens. Don't let the name fool you, it's not your average "pizza joint". Have a great time!
Please do not go to the TGI Fridays near Rockefeller Center. It is not exactly like the one you may have at home - it is VERY expensive and the food is not good.
Carmine's homestsyle Italian (in the theater district) has been suggested for teens lately, as has John's Pizzeria. I've also seen ESPN Zone mentioned for that age group. Have fun!
carmine's has a rep for "family dining" and it's right on the heart of timesquare. however, anticipate at least a 45 min - 1 hr wait. or call in for reservations.
