The Story
More from Cellos Pizzeria is on the way.
Cello's Pizzeria has become a fast favorite on St. Marks Place, serving crisp, thin-crust slices with the pedigree to back it up — head pizza maker James Jaworski honed his craft at L'Industrie Pizzeria in Williamsburg, widely regarded as one of NYC's best. That lineage shows: slices come out light in the hand yet chewy and charred on the bottom, with a crust that echoes rustic Tuscan bread. The tomato pie is a standout, balancing a bright, acidic sauce with dollops of sweet burrata, while the broccoli rabe and sausage brings serious garlic punch. It's an easy stop for a quick, high-quality bite — grab a slice, top it with hot honey, and eat in at the shop's casual counter seating.
