Sottocasa Pizzeria HarlemB+

227 Malcolm X Blvd, New York, NY 10027 · Pizza restaurant, Italian restaurant · Harlem

Excellent Neapolitan-style pies with fast, friendly service and craft Italian beers; thin, soft-centered crust delights many but some find it soggy, and gratuity is auto-added.

The verdict

Sottocasa Pizzeria Harlem delivers exceptional Neapolitan pizza quality with bright, fresh ingredients and impressively fast service, earning solid neighborhood respect and loyal regulars. However, recurring consistency issues with soft or undercooked centers prevent a higher grade, and the modest, cramped setting lacks destination appeal. It's a reliable choice for pizza purists seeking authentic flavors at fair prices, but execution gaps keep it from competing with the area's premier pizzerias.

One caveat: Soft or soggy center complaints recur; Neapolitan style is intentionally tender but varies night to night
