Rocky's Pizzeria • 1960

Rocky's Pizzeria anchors Murray Hill's late-night dining scene from its brick oven at 607 2nd Avenue, turning out inventive specialty slices until the early morning hours. The penne alla vodka pizza—a cult favorite that layers creamy vodka sauce and pasta atop a crispy crust—draws loyal crowds alongside grandma squares and chicken caesar pies. This old-school slice shop balances classic New York pizza fundamentals with over-the-top creations that keep night owls coming back for one more slice.
