John's Pizzeria
The first John's Pizzeria was opened in Greenwich Village, but its newer location is far more exciting. John's Pizzeria in Times Square is located in the old Gospel Tabernacle Church, which provides a serene and fascinating setting to munch on pizza. Other dishes served at John's besides pizza include chicken parmigana and spinach ravioli. John's serves its pizzas family-style, so you can dig in quickly and enjoy a quick, moderately priced lunch. John's pizza selections are refined enough to serve the tastes of adults but provide options for picky children, too.
