Our Pizza
Times Square's Best Neapolitan Pizza
Our Pizza Philosophy
As longtime New Yorkers, we've savored more than our fair share of pizza. In New York, there’s a time and place for every single variety, from the gooey, slippery cheese of a hot New York slice to the wood-fired elegance of a Neapolitan pie. At AperiBar, our culinary team tirelessly refines every aspect of our Neapolitan pizza, a commitment to the pursuit of pizza excellence complemented with seasonal and local ingredients.
Our Dough
"Crafting the perfect dough is an exact science requiring patience, precise temperatures, and most importantly, time." AperiBar's dough is a blend of three Italian Caputo flours, with Tipo Uno Rustic Bread Flour infusing each pie with a dynamic flavor.
While the fermentation process is top secret, our team has it down to a science, starting with maintaining a consistent kitchen temperature of 70°F. Each pizza is cooked at a lower temperature for a longer time to achieve that soft, doughy interior and a golden, crispy crust. Prepare to fall in love with AperiBar's pizza dough.
Our Sauce & Cheese
Our red sauce is the rich and robust product of Mutti pizza sauce, imported from Parma, Italy. Touched with salt and a drizzle of olive oil, it's the perfect canvas for what is arguably the hero of any pizza pie: the mozzarella. Ours is Fior di Latte, direct from the five-generations of cheese artisans at Latteria Sorrentina in Naples.
Our Pizzas & Toppings
True to the classics, we love AperiBar’s margherita, made simply with tomato, mozzarella, basil & EVOO. For the adventurous, indulge in creations featuring mortadella and stracciatella, or signature favorites like the Boscaiola with housemade fennel pork sausage. Custom pies? Naturally, we're here to fulfill both your traditional and unique pizza requests.

The food was amazing! The pizza was delicious, and so was the breaded chicken cutlets—plenty of food to go around for four people.

My grandma and I were just walking by and noticed how pretty it looked in here and ended up having an amazing meal. I started with an Aperispritz that was really refreshing, we shared the fungi pizza which paired really well with the Tuscan kale salad, and finished with the Zafferano gelato (amazing!!). the whole meal was delicious and I would easily come back the next time I am in NY.
