best pizza in New York

Co. is by no means the best pizza in Manhattan today. i was born and raised in italy and believe me, the quality of Co. pizza is above average even by italian standards: the ingredients used are very fresh, the menu is incredibly interesting, for example the Stracciatella with very fresh stracciatella (a derivative of buffalo mozzarella only freshly available in some regions in the South of Italy), Popey with truffle and fresh spinach, Boscaiola...we tried seven different and they were all amazing. who doesnt like the pizza here is because got his/her palate ruined by fake pizza over the years! beside the food which is an A+, the place is loud, not children friendly and the waiting list is always too long. but its worth the wait!

Not your classic NY pizza

The moment you bite into the pie, you'll notice that it's not your classic NY pizza. The crunchy yet chewy crust is enhanced with just enough amount of creative flavorful toppings. If you are looking for a crust with good backbone, your search is over. A great place to go with 4 or more people and try all pies on the menu.

Great pizza deserves better wine!

The pizza here is outstanding -if you are a gourmet pizza enthusiast, this is well worth trying. The dough is amazing and the toppings are first quality. As good or better than in Italy! However, the wine list is terrible. Only screw top bottles and very few from Italy. Not that I have anything against screw top bottles, in fact they are very practical, but the wine choices are too limited. Both times we have gone to Co., our delicious pizza was negated by the mediocre wines by the glass (and it is a good thing we didn't buy an entire bottle). Even spoke to the manager about the poor wine list, to no avail. Oh well - but the pizza is truly outstanding.

I have no idea what the others reviewers are talking about!

I live within a block of Co. and go there to eat at least twice a week, alone to grab a bite or with friends. Co. has the best bread in the city and more interesting and delicious offerings than any average pizza place I know. The Straticella is addictive and the Birds Nest (with truffles) particularly good. The salads are light and lovely. Everything is portioned for individuals or to share with two, so it's a question of quality over quantity. The wait staff have been unfailingly nice to me every time I've been there. My neighbor just went for her birthday and had a wonderful experience too. The negative reviews on this thread are baffling to me.

Tourist trap style billing games. So stupid. STAY AWAY.

Waiter: "Would you like some bread to start?" - Me: "Sure" - Waiter: "Would you like butter or olive oil?" - Me: "Butter will be fine, thanks" Check arrives, I am charged $3 for bread and $2 FOR BUTTER. When questioned, the waited informed me that butter is a menu item. I can almost understand the charge for bread, since its got that whole Sullivan Street bakery pedigree, but has anyone ever seen a charge for butter, especially when they are charging for bread??? Even worse, I am absolutely certain that my waiter deliberately tried to deceive me into ordering something I would never imagine I would be charged for. So congratulations, Comapany. You tricked me out of $2. You win! I will now go spend my money elsewhere. When you close down in 3 months, dont cry about the economy. Its games like ths that turn people AWAY from your doors.

Let the scene-sters wait on line for overpriced average pizza

Ok to good, but not nearly worth the hype. We got a Margherita pizza and the Popeye. The sauce on the marg was very good but there was not nearly enough of it (and not enough cheese either). The Popeye was very disappointing. It supposedly has 2 kinds of cheese plus garlic and pepper, in addition to spinach. There was a lot of spinach, which overwhelmed any other flavors, so I took off the spinach and what was underneath tasted just vaguely salty. They charge for bread, which I have no problem with. They also charge for olive oil, which is a stretch but I can live with. But they also charge for BUTTER ($2), which is insane and I'm pretty sure is the first time I've seen anywhere in the developed world. They said, "It's from Vermont." Hey, Vermont ain't that far away -- Land-o-lakes probably comes from Brazil. The service was fine, but I think their bartender is overwhelmed. It was crowded and I'm sure it will stay that way for a long time.

I truly don't understand what all the hype is about. Absolutely tasteless food. Pathetic. I live in the neighborhood and will never go back.

What a disappointment!

Walking into Co. I was looking forward to a great meal. However, I left disappointed and robbed of $80! The pizza did not live up to the hype. Out of our three choices, one was at best average and the other two were failures. One of our guest ordered a basic Margherita pizza. It arrived, with a single spec of cheese. Yes times are tough but to send out a pizza, without any cheese is unacceptable. Then when we asked for some grated cheese, we were charged an additional $3 for a tablespoon. Stay home!

Ain't your Grandpa's Pie!

This place is great! Service is a little slow but its new and they will get the run of it. I went 2x and one night they were out of dough, but seems like they have worked out those kinks. Its not your typical pizza that served on every friggin corner in NY. But its damn tasty. If you want your giant craptastic slice I suggest moving on down the street.

Overhyped

It started with an incredibly rude hostess. However, when we were told that there would be a 45 minute wait... we decided to suck-it-up and hover in the undersize vestibule of a bar area. After angling toward the bar through the maze of irritated would-be patrons, we were unable to get the attention of the bar staff for a solid 20 minutes or so. When we did - they were out of all but one wine - which turned out to be overpriced and metallic. A further 40 minutes or so later, we had scored bar seats and so decided to simply to ignore being ignored by madame gatekeeper, and eat at the drafty bar. We found the staff apathetic, undertrained, and confused, but awaited the much-lauded pizza with great anticipation... Mistake. Our selection of 3 different pies were unimpressive, (one was truly burnt), and other than the char, were vague and tasteless. You've had better pizza and dining experiences a 100 times before. There is no need to subject yourself to Co. Shame.
