It seems like everyone has food allergies or dietary restrictions these days. But for the lucky few who have escaped that crucible, pizza is a cherished go-to. Filled with gluten and topped with melty cheese, this is the ultimate indulgence, while also being quick, delicious, and usually cheap.
Of course, New York City has the best pizza, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get gooey greatness elsewhere. We polled readers and coworkers to find out the best places to order a slice of pizza in the Hudson Valley. And although you probably won’t roadtrip for a slice, if you find yourself in any of these neighborhoods you’ll be glad to know where to go.

AMA in Beacon is amazing! Should be on the list.
Siena’s in Pine Bush is fantastic! Closest to NYC pizza ever!
Best I’ve had in the HV are Tony’s in Midtown Kingston (the Margherita bar pie!) and Jo-Jo’s in Ancram (the white broccoli/garlic). RIP Two Boots in Annandale-on-Hudson.
Papi’s Pizza & Wings, 55 Washington Ave, Kingston, NY
Best thin crust pizza and over 40 flavors of chicken wings! Weekly Colombian specials, housemade sauces and soups, and so much more!
Anyone who has not had the Village Pizza in Red Hook, NY is missing out. Ben’s (owner) Pizza is worth the trip. It is always consistent and delicious.
Pizza Star in Saugerties NY is hands down the most delicious!
Their Pizza, along with their pasta dishes, and mouth watering eggplant parm are the best!
