Praised by reviewers as “must try” and “a welcome addition” to Manhattan’s vast pizza scene, Emmy Squared Pizza introduced our one-of-a-kind fare to the Upper East Side in December 2019. Founded on an unconditional love of well-made food, Emmy Squared combined a New York style “grandma” pie with a Detroit style pizza, and then topped it off with an added dose of culinary creativity. But we didn’t stop at our pizza – Emmy’s Le Big Matt Burger has been recognized as one of The Best New Burgers in NYC (Gothamist) and one of the 20 Best Burgers in NYC (Infatuation).

Truly one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life. Extremely fresh, crispy, doughy, and so rich in flavor. They have so many unique combinations. Idk why they don’t have an even higher rating honestly!! The inside is so pretty and the people are very personable. 10/10

Had the Bulgogi Fries and Big Ang pizza. The large portion of the fries could def feed a group of 3-4. Everything was delish!

I visited Emmy Squared Pizza on Saturday night and had such a great time. Our server, Cesar, was absolutely wonderful!! so kind and attentive. He recommended the Miranda pizza and it ended up being the most delicious white pizza I’ve ever had. Definitely would recommend! Great service and great vibes 10/10

Had a delicious lunch at this Detroit style pizza spot. The MVP pizza was just the right combination of crunchy, cheesy and saucy perfection. Try the watermelon burrata salad (Summer menu only!) if on the menu, it’s so sweet, salty, spicy, and tangy. The portions are quite large especially the fries so it’s easy to overorder. Great attentive service and nice atmosphere.

I was here on March 22nd, 2025. We ordered pepperoni pizza. Tasted great. For two person you might wanna go with 10 slices if you are really hungry

I had such a great experience at Emmy Squared on the Upper East Side! The food was incredible — every dish came out perfectly cooked and full of flavor.
What really made the night special was the service. The whole team was warm, attentive, and welcoming, and Keith, the GM, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. You can tell he truly cares about creating a great dining experience for everyone.
Highly recommend this spot whether you’re coming for a casual dinner or a night out with friends — it’s easily one of the best places in the neighborhood!

I realllly wanted to love this place. Was in the mood for a burger and wanted to try someplace I hadn’t been before. I ordered their double patty burger medium rare w a glass of rose. Butger and a glass of wine cost me $50 before tip which I felt was on the higher side. Burger was medium well, salad was very heavily dressed and it took me 37 mins to get the check once I asked for it. Just disappointed at every turn.

My wife and I went by Emmy Squared this past weekend and left very satisfied. The Detroit-style crust was amazing thick, chewy on the inside with that crispy, caramelized cheese edge that keeps you eating slice after slice. The Colony (pepperoni + honey) was our favorite — sweet and salty with just enough kick from the chili. We split the Brussels sprouts salad that actually complemented the pizza really well. Also split a burger it was juicy and cooked exactly how we asked. Place was loud but in a good way busy, friendly, and fast despite the crowd. Would come back for sure.
