Emmett’s raison d’être is Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, but at heart, it’s a neighborhood bar with the winning laid-back vibe.

The lowdown

New York City need not fear Chicago’s deep-dish; they’re different animals, satisfying divergent needs. You go to Joe’s for a quick, foldable slice you can eat on the run. You go to Emmett’s for a buttery, pastry-crusted beast of a thing, with a blanket of stretchy cheese and a reservoir of zesty, super-seasoned sauce. It takes 25 minutes to make from start to finish, and another couple “to settle.” Plus utensils.
