Updated review: How low can you go? That's pretty much what we felt as we sat here today. The waiter we had was disinterested and just pretty meh about everything. The drinks were awful (lipstick marks on the glasses) and watered down. The burger, the one thing I kept coming here for for years was just a flat, overcooked over salted mess! Just lazy cooking from a chef who does not know what rare means! It was well past well done. The pretzel bun was undercooked and just doughy. This is the third time I've been let down by you guys since 2019 and 2020! I used to rave about this burger and keep sending friends here. I'd be embarrassed to do so anymore. The lousy lazy waiter should have been enough of a sign to have walked out but, I guess I needed to know how low the burger had gone. Ugh, nasty food and drinks! Shame.! My original review from 2018: This review is based solely on what I can say is one of the best burgers I've had in NYC to date. I have no idea how the patty has been made, but it quite literally melts in the mouth. It's actually quite rare, but doesn't feel so at all. And the chocolate mousse, grain cracker and marshmallow desert was beautiful too! I've only docked one star on the grounds of the fries being a tad bit on the greasy side and the oil for the fries needed changing as it was hitting bitter notes. Overall, love this place and it is a definite recommendation!

Got the Emily double stack burger and the burger itself was great. The beef was tender and flavorful and the pretzel bun made it top tier. The fries that came with the burger were good but just fried a bit too much so I lost my appetite for them about halfway through. I asked for ranch on the side (and aside from the fact that it was $2 for a tiny cup) and the herb flavor was coming through way too strong for what I was expecting (it’s fine that it’s just their take on it but it’s definitely not a typical ranch and I feel like they could maybe mention it’s an herb-forward ranch). I got an iced tea that was actually one of the better if not one of the best unsweetened iced teas I’ve had at a restaurant. The service was good. The seating was very rough. We were a party of 5 and we were crammed into the back corner of the restaurant. It was a table at the corner of the booth and there was simply not enough space for someone to sit on the back wall on the booth with someone on each side of them. It was also a little bit of a hassle getting in and out of the table for everyone at the table. Definitely not spacious and likely not accessible for everyone.

Wheelchair accessibility
Likely to be little if no wheelchair accessibility unless you sit in one of the outside seating spots.

Came here to try the burger. It’s a double patty of dry aged meat with cheese, caramelized onions, and special Emily sauce on pretzel buns. The sauce is a bit spicy, I think it’s based on a Korean condiment iirc. The pretzel buns are crispy on the edges, which was nice, but it can be slightly dense in some bites. The patties are not as thick as some other dry aged burgers in town, and they turned out to be not as juicy, but they still tasted so good. I kinda liked the sauce too. It can slightly make up for the slight loss of juiciness (though not an excuse). The gaminess of the meat reminds me a bit of kebab. Yes, kebab. The gaminess (and sometimes the texture) was strong in this burger, in a borderline-good way. Overall, I liked this burger, but I would not really call it THE best in NY. Still, it is one of the best I’ve tried. The waffle fries were ok. Would love to try the pizza in my next visit.

Make reservations! It's your sure way to get a spot in this highly anticipated pizza and burger restaurant. I would do need to caveat that they also have sandwiches and salad but, the burger and pizza are the reasons why we come here. I would say they treates their dough and buns the right way. And the toppings and sauces that go on top of them buns and dough are unique and high quality. I heard you can go wrong with any of their pizzas so we went with the Colonel and For the Nguyens. The Colonel is like your classic pepperoni pizza done right. For the Nguyens is kinda funky with the blue cheese so you'll need to like blue cheese to enjoy it. The Burger is phenomenally unique and good. It's like a soaked the beef patty into a Korean Go Chu Jang mayonnaise sauce before putting the band over. The Kale Salad is good but we weren't here for that :)

We came on a cold Monday night where there are quite a few open tables. However the host stated none of them is available and we had to sit outside since we don’t have a reservation. Even there were heaters it was still very cold. When the server came, he immediately asked us if this was our first time (we were three Asian guys with glasses on). One of us had been here multiple times. He said the bread sticks were good but we said we were okay. However he came serving them and insisted we said yes while he asked. None of us did and he said “well there’s nothing I can do but I will take it off the bill”. During the entire time we were eating (around 1hr), the four person table inside from the window was never taken, while we were eating in freezing cold. The burgers were good. Large portion and good price for west village.

The staff, service, drinks, and ambiance were fantastic. My wife had the burger and really enjoyed it. It’s a tad messy, so be prepared. Dax and Monica are wrong though, it’s not the best burger ever. The rest of us had the pizza and I’ll preface my review with the fact I’m not a Detroit pizza fan. The dough had a frozen pizza vibe, but the sauce/toppings were great. I ordered the chili oil on the side and it had a very strong cumin flavor that over powered everything else. I would go back, but would try a pizza with more toppings to help carry the dough more than the pepperoni could on its own.

Dietary restrictions
Our server asked if anyone at the table had any food allergies the kitchen should know about, which never happens. I was very thankful since I carry an Epi-pen for food allergies. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big impact.

WOW, this food is amazing!! We made a reservation based on our friends recommendation and we couldn’t believe how good the food was! For starters, the Brussels sprout salad and garlic cheese bread were not what we expected, and that was a beautiful thing! The salad has so many flavors that I would never pair together and it was incredible. The garlic cheese bread was probably eh best I’ve ever had, coated in pesto… brilliant!! We ordered the burger, a chicken parmigiana sandwich and the pepperoni pizza to split. The burger… maybe the best hamburger I’ve had in my life, it was perfection. The chicken parm sandwich was devoured by my kids. The pizza was perfectly cooked with a nice crunch to the crust that made it the perfect piece. We did not have room for dessert, we were absolutely stuffed and happy! We will for sure make a point to visit again, thank you for a lovely meal!!

Visitors opinion People are overly critical I’m surprised this place didn’t have 5* all the time. - Made reservation because well you best be safe for manhatten ! If I didn’t I wouldn’t have had a table - knew that I wanted the Emmy Burger and it’s simple it’s what you see and medium. Saw others with Pizza which is also a specialty of the brand but I didn’t wanna confuse the tummy when I just wanted one of the best burgers in NYC - staff were super friendly (I was there Sunday 19th March AM so thank you to the guys for the hospitality) always a smile and service was on time. Solo eater and I was taken care off Everyone’s gonna have an opinion on where the best burger is. For me this is definitely top 5 in the world and I’ve had a fair share. Every table had a burger so do yourself a favour reserve a table and get an Emmy

The Emmy Double Stack Burger

GET THE BURGER!! That's my takeaway. The burger was hands down one of the best burgers I've eaten- I also LOVE pretzel buns so that was definitely a plus for me. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth level and the emmy sauce was a hit. I don't think you can go wrong with their pizzas, we tried the Arenstein which was delicious and great for sharing. I loved the pepperoni cups on the pizza and the flavors blended together so nicely. A solid pizza but nothing mind blowing here. I was really excited for the cheesy garlic sticks but they definitely disappointed a little bit. It sounds like all of my favorite flavors but I thought the bread was too thick and with the pizza too it wasn't a great appetizer since I thought it was too bready. Come Again? Yes- for the burger!! I'd be down for pizza or a different appetizer but definitely would be down to come again for the burger! (5 stars for the burger, 4 stars for the pizza, and 3 for the cheesy garlic sticks!)

Arrived at 12:00 with a reservation and was promptly seated. Service was excellent. Food quality was great. I know the Emily Double Stack receives all the praise but enjoyed the Spicy Chicken with “Nguyen Sauce”and added bacon as my favorite, the Detroit style pizza (The Luca)second and the burger (Emily Double Stack) my third favorite. This isn’t saying that all dishes weren’t tasty because they were. I just thought the Spicy Chicken with bacon and unique sauce really stood out. Between four hungry people, we split the chicken, pizza, and burger in as many cuts as possible yet still left everyone stuffed. It might sound strange, but take a trip to the restroom. It’s downstairs and down a long hallway with what seems like the original wooden stairs walking you right by the kitchen. Really cool looking dining spaces downstairs also. Stop by if you are in the area. You won’t be disappointed. It’s one of those places that lives up to the hype.

I can scratch this one off the burger bucket list. On the 1-5 scale, this was a 4.3 Very good hamburger. I'm gonna put this above JG Melon, above 5 napkin, but not quite Jackson Hole for best. burger in NYC. But I can't lie. The last bite of the burger was better than the first. Nothing too fancy. Great medium patty, the perfect bun, and there was a lovely mushrooms sauce or something. Decent serving of fries on the side. But as I chowed down on that burger and enjoyed two delicious Greenpoint Harbor ales...I kept thinking, "damn, maybe I should have ordered the pizza." Service was top-notch, and it was a pretty packed house. Of course, the West Village location was a tad tiny. Overall, VERY happy to finally get to Emily's.

I've been listening to my favorite podcast rave about this Emily Burger for years. I finally remembered to try it, this trip around and by god did it live up to the hype. We ordered garlic bread sticks for the table which were to die for. Cheese, garlic, pesto and bread. Mouth watering. The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, the exact perfect amount of everything on a perfect bun. It's the most delicious burger I've ever tasted. The burger came with a side of waffle fries which were a great addition to an already perfect meal. We also got the pizza which was also fantastic. Fluffy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our server was great and attentive and the ambiance was perfect. Couldn't say better things about this restaurant.

The Emmy Double Stack Burger, Emily Pizza

Great burger even for a non-burger lover! When in NYC, we knew we had to try a burger. After a thorough search, there was one name constantly popping up: Emily. We were so lucky to find a spot outside, and enjoyed the private and warm setting. We started with a Ceasar salad. The portion was generous as its the sauce. Perhaps a bit too savoury, but really enjoyable. My drink (I don’t remember the name sadly, but had some sour cherry on it) was also really pleasant! And now, the star of the show: the burger was insane. I really appreciated the staff welcoming my request of not putting pickles on my burger. The bread was very rich in consistency, yet it had a buttery flavour, exactly like the patty. There was barely salt, but we enjoyed it so much. The waffle fries were also so good. Perhaps, that added value would have been a slice of tomato to give some freshness. Definitely recommended!

Busy on a Thursday evening. I highly recommend reservations. We ordered: Caesar salad: dressing was the highlight. Greens weren’t nearly crunchy enough. Light on the Parmesan and crouton. Mozzarella sticks: standard. Emmy burger: disappointed as I heard so much! The sauce and the bun are the standouts. The burger (despite being a double) fell flat amongst those two. No flavor. Pizza: we ordered the mimi. Pizza is Detroit style here which reminds me of grandma or Sicilian style. Given that this is a pizza place, I would say the pizza was the best. Sauce, toppings, and dough worked well together. A good balance between salty and not too sweet. A bit on the small size.

The Emmy Double Stack Burger, Pretzel Bun

Good burger, very filling meal! Caring server! Overall great food - you can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients - soft bun, caramelised onions, special sauce, and the double layered burger patties. I was so full afterwards, but reflecting on the bill, I thought it was a little expensive for what I had. Almost $40 including tax and tips, for this meal and a soda. Is it worth it? Maybe for the experience of trying the famous hyped Emily’s burger. But the taste didn’t make blow my mind to say, wow, I’d come here again. Five Guys is a great substitute in my opinion. Overall I’d recommend it for the experience and suggest you coming not too late. This set is a lot and the last thing you want is a late night food coma. Also, book it or call in advance in you can.

This is one of the best burgers I’ve had in NYC. I’ll tell you why: the pretzel bun is so unique. It’s dense, not dry, and adds a nice sweet flavor. It’s a double patty burger but doesn’t feel as heavy as a double. The meat is high quality. The cheese is so flavorful too. The Emily sauce is a almost like a dark, smoky bourbon sauce, also very unique. I wish there was more sauce on my burger. The side of waffle fries is HUGE! Totally worth it if you’re into fries. They’re seasoned and crunchy, we loved them. Service was average. Get a reservation! Btw, dipping sauces are $2 each! They didn’t tell me that when I asked for a few sauces. It was crowded, they pack you in pretty tight so it’s quite noisy for good conversation. Nevertheless, fantastic restaurant!

Probably the best meal we had whilst in New York - the burger comes highly recommended and with good reason, it had the right balance of flavours/ingredients and I liked the pretzel bun. The gluten free detroit style pizza was some of the best gf pizza my partner has ever had. It was a fairly reasonably priced meal for NY, although we didn't have any starters and just the one cocktail each (the spicy margarita was very spicy). The service was friendly and quick and there was a good atmosphere when we visited on a Saturday night - definitely recommend booking in advance.

This place is absolutely delicious! Emily has one of the best burgers and unique pizzas in the city! The Chicken Parm Sandwich with a Pretzel Bun and Garlic Sticks are also incredible!

This place is great, good interiors, reasonably priced, very friendly staff and pleasant vibes. Went on a Sunday afternoon without reservation luckily got a table for 4 quickly. They have seating below too but would recommend getting the upper indoor seating. For food we got the famous burger (worth the hype and comes with great waffle fries), hot chicken pizza and cheesy garlic sticks. No doubt about the burger, that's amazing. Pizza and sticks were okay, thick bready layer with cheese. If you are a fan of that food it is good but nothing different than usual. Got the Just Like That cocktail, that was very nice. Overall, a great place to visit.

Emily has created this exceptional experience with its food, service, and atmosphere. My boyfriend and I shared their double stacked burger & waffle fries which was absolutely incredible. It was so juicy and packed with flavour. 10/10. We also shared their kale salad which was lovely to start off with considering the rest of the meal was a lot heavier. We also shared the MVP that i crave when I want a thicker style pizza. I’m normally not a fan of Detroit style pizza since it’s usually super heavy and thick but the Detroit style pizza at Emily has changed my mind. It was “look thick, feel light” with crispy crust, cheesy goodness and great flavour from the vodka, red and pesto sauce combination.

Good vibes, great service, and great food. We ordered to share one arenstein pizza and one Emmy double stacked burger. This was a lot of food for two people, but both were great. We were cautioned that the burger was bound to be messy, and it was indeed. The patties were salted and seasoned well. The sauce had a bit of spice but went well with the other burger components. The waffle fries stayed deliciously crispy even as we dabbed at our other items. The flavors of the pizza came together very nicely- between the pepp, vodka, chili, and honey. Each bite gave a little bit of a different combination of these components but definitely reminisced a flavor bomb when all were present.

To echo the sentiments of others: Emily has one of the best burgers in NYC. The dry aged beef patties provide a unique umami taste while holding in quite a bit of juice. The pretzel bun and the cheese provide a soft but hearty texture while complimenting the beef well. And the waffle fries are seasoned and fried to perfection. The only aspect I didn't love was the sauce - it was a bit too strong and tangy which overpowered the beef and made the burger a bit of a mess to eat. The food also took a while to arrive during lunch time. However, the staff were friendly and quite attentive. Also, try to book reservations ahead of time because this place fills up fast during peak hours. Overall, a great burger experience in a lovely West Village neighborhood.

Chose Emily West Village to host our holiday team outing and everything went seamless. From working with Alice on booking a time and constructing a menu for the outing to the outing itself, everyone had a great time. The team at Emily's was easy to work with when it came to dietary restrictions and they placed us in a more private area downstairs. Everything came out in a very timely manner and the staff was very attentive. Not to mention, you could not beat the price for some of the best pizza in town! Would highly recommend for your next team outing!

The waitress managed to change over our booking as we got a bit hungry before our actual 4 o’clock reservation which was very helpful. The food come fairly quickly and oh my god. The spicy chicken burger was amazing. 9/10. But the pizza was 10/10. Every individual part of the pizza was flavourful. Beautifully cooked. If everyone in the world had this pizza there would be no war. Just love.

Unbelievable burger. It’s a pizza place with amazing looking pizza but half the people in the restaurant ordered the burger and for good reason. The sauce they put is amazing and should be bottled up. The cheese and amount they put is perfect too and the waffle fries are delicious. This is definitely my top 2 or 3 burger. If the meat was marinated a little more like it is at Fish Market this would easily be the best burger in the city. Looking forward to coming back.

First visit to Emily's and honestly the food was delicious. My group arrived and the table wasn't ready yet but they were kind enough to give us a free round of drinks at the bar while we waited. Never have I had that kind of treatment anywhere due to a table not being ready yet. It was much appreciated. And then the food. Vodka sauce pizza was very good but the burrata pizza was incredible.

The burger lives up to the expectations. Within the top 3 burgers I’ve had in my lifetime. This burger tastes unlike anything I’ve had before. It is very rich in umami / aged beef notes. The waffle fries, often overlooked, are also amongst the best i’ve had. Crispy on the outside and light / fluffy on the inside. The spice touch is subtle but fresh and fragrant. The service is good for the price. A little lengthy on getting the food; other than that, the overall experience is a well deserved home run !

We came here to try its famous burger which has been named as the best burger in the world for several years now according to Burguerdudes. Also, we didn't want to miss the chance to try their pizza. Regarding the burger, I can tell it's a good product, but for me, it is not the best in the world, as I have tried better ones. But it's a matter of taste... In my opinion the pizza was better than the burger, specially thaks to the tomato sauce.

Really great ambience in the restaurant— lively inside but on a quiet street in West Village. The burger lived up to the hype — it was juicy, the bun was fresh, and the beef cooked perfectly. However, I’m a fry person and was very disappointed by the fries — little taste and seemed stale. Tried the Emily + the Colony burger. The honey on the emily was delicious and the pistachio topping was unique. Too much bread on both slices though.

And will enjoy it tomorrow as lunch hehe. There is no option for pizza slices, you always get a whole pizza. Which is reason to go with a friend. I actually wanted to try the mushroom or Emily pizza.

Let’s cut to it. The burger is $24 and it’s good but not better than The Smith or 5 Napkins. Now those burgers do not come with fries for $18 so when you include the huge portion of waffle fries then it’s comparable. The pizza is not my thing but I guess it’s the style. The restaurant is in a great location, the staff are nice and if you sit outside, great people watching. It’s a little bit overpriced, over-hyped and in the area that appreciates those qualities

I was here five years ago to have the burger, I remember it being delicious and as I was rating burgers at the time I gave it #2 in Manhattan. The burger was super delicious this time so I did a quick return to my previous # 1 which was great but I've decided to flip my rating because the Emily was just that good. Also, last time I was cautioned to get to the restaurant before 8PM or the burgers would be gone, I'm delighted to see they're more available now.

Had the $26 burger and it was good but it did not impress!! Overall I liked the place and would love to try something else since we heard good things but we visited from Texas so that makes it pretty unlikely.

Love the food here but a little bummed by the service this time around. We barely saw our waiter & one of our members never got her food and we had to leave for a show so luckily she just shared the pizza we ordered. The food here is really outstanding though - the Brussel sprouts salad is perfect for sharing, pink sauce pizza, and the burger are must orders

My order: -Red light/green light -old fashioned -colony pizza -pepperoni pizza (GF) This place was excellent. Very good drinks. Reasonably priced. But what we’re all here for: great pizza! I will say it’s a nice contrast to the classic NYC thin slice. And the flavor was very complex. I feel like that’s typically lost on a pizza, and it was found at Emily! I can’t wait to come back and try more pizzas.

OMG the best burgers and pizza ever!!! We made a booking a few weeks earlier (Friday night) and when we arrived they seated us at the bar for a drink as the table wasn't ready (not a problem at all!) We did hear them say there was a wait list so I would definitely recommend reservations. Our server was fantastic, he offered advice and checked on us throughout. Food was ammmmmmazing!! So tasty. 100% recommended.

I had good vibes in this location. Went for dinner without reservation, so I ended up in a basement that I didn't expect they had one. Plenty of seating including bar and patio. I had mini pizza, and I find the square shaped pizza to be practical, the proportion is good, I had left over and asked for a box. Friendly staff and service was fast. Affordable prices. Next time I have to check out their famous Burger

This restaurant has been on my NYC food list for years, and it finally made it off! The Emmy burger was destined to be crossed of the list. It was no disappointment, from the thick juicy aged beef to the Korean sauce with a kick. But that’s not all we gave the breadsticks, star pizza and chicken parm a go. All phenomenal. Coming from an Italian family the chicken parm sandwich was decadent and delectable.

Wow crazy restaurant, delicious food, great service and perfect atmosphere. We ordered for the opening portion the wing balls which were just amazing. Main course Hamburger and the famous pizza of the restaurant. The dishes are very large and perfect. The price is fair and worth every dollar. Highly recommended and a must include this restaurant on any visit to New York.

Wow what a burger. Delicious. The double stack, caramelised onions and the secret sauce. Just incredible. But I think the pretzel bun is what makes this burger, holds everything together but still soft. We didn’t have enough appetite for the pizza’s but they looked insane as well. I want to come back when I come to NY!!!

What a wonderful culinary experience! We ordered the kale salad, the burger, a delicious pizza, and the banana pudding dessert. The burger and the pizza were phenomenal, truly worth the calories! The pizza crust was thick and mouthwatering and the burger buns were almost brioche like. The kale salad was a kale salad and the banana pudding was good, but the main compliments go out to the star of the show here, the pizza. A must visit location.

OMG sooooooo good!!!!! I didn’t know much about this spot before going but we loved loved loved the Brussels sprout salad and the pizzas! We got a red sauce pie (the MVP) & a white sauce (the Emily). One was better than the next! The four of us shared those three dishes and we were stuffed! It’s a super deep dish pizza with an amazing crust (I guess it’s Detroit style?). It’s in a super cute part of the village and service is super friendly!

8/10 I’m a burger guy and have been to most of the “must eat burger places” in NY and I say this is the best burger by a long mile. Forget Nowon or Red hook. Pizza here was fine not worth the price they’re charging. Burger would be rated higher if not for the price. But a must go

Went to try the burger with my family and unfortunately we all agreed that it was overcooked. So unfortunately the meat was a bit dry which did not meet our expectations after hearing so much about it. It was okay but could've been great if it was cooked better. Tried a pizza as well and it was quite tasty. The staff were welcoming and helped us take a picture!

Ok so I think I found the best burger in the city. I know the place is known for its Detroit Pizza, but the burger is really out of this galaxy. Oh and the waffle fries that come with it are the best I ever had, anywhere.

Great service and burgers! I really enjoyed my experience here, their food was on point and the staff was really friendly and helpful, regularly checking in. It was great to eat here after a 40-hour long flight, which was my very first meal in NYC - I’d say it was a good start of the trip. The seasonal cocktails were great too. Definitely recommended!

Ordered their Colony pizza. Sweetness and saltiness always go well! There’s honey in pepperoni bowls , so do not throw it away! ( I first thought that it was grease). We also ordered brussels sprouts salad. Blue cheese and miso dressing go so well together!

Cute place, very friendly staff. Food a little overrated imo. The pretzel bun burger was a 6/10. The day we were there for lunch, the fryer was broken so only burgers and pizza were available. Pizza with honey sounds weird but it was tasty. fun just as a one time lunch imo.

We didn't have a reservation and they seated us quickly. However, the service was very slow. The burger arrived about 10 minutes before the pizza. The burger was good, but not the best I've had. The temperature changed from very hot to very cold.

The Nashville hot chicken pizza was delicious! It’s Detroit style so the crust is really thick but it was so good! I think this stands out compared to the rest of the pizzas in New York because it’s unique. They are also apparently known for their burgers, will definitely be going back to try that!

Simple restaurant with basic decor and atmosphere. We came mainly to try their famous burger and we were not disappointed at all. dry-aged patty covered in year-old Vermont cheddar and caramelized onions and served on a pretzel bun. Something that “shouldn’t work, but it does. light. The secret is in the sauce Surprisingly light. We also tried the pizza which was ask great.

The burger was one of the best I've ever had. The pizza too, very flavourful, light, excellent balance of flavours. We tried the Mimi pizza. Will come back for sure.

Saw this on Topjaw, I must say it’s an excellent brioche bun for the burger, which is what it’s raved for. Unfortunately if you are going in expecting the best burger in nyc, I do sorely think you might be disappointed. I would give a 5 stars but the pizza wasn’t giving. Perhaps I’m not too much a fan of the deep dish Detroit pizza.

Pretty good food at standard west village prices! The Detroit style pizza is extremely thick and bready - the 3-sauce pizza felt a bit more like cheesy bread with some light sauce on top than pizza. Nonetheless, it tasted good! The burger and Brussels sprouts were great as well.

Seen in the pictures are Emily's double stack burger and Detroit style deep dish truffle mushroom pizza. The burger was a top notch with crispy fries completing the taste. One down side was that it took almost half an hour for us to be served while the restaurant was not busy at all. The food came out to be a little cold too!

To be honest! ITS DAMN GOOD ! Beef patty was the selling point! Densely packed but yet succulent and juicy. Crinker fries were freshly fried without the smell of stale oil. Flew all the way from Singapore and found this GEM... very homey, tucked at a very quint neighborhood, service was subtle yet efficient.

One of the few places that offer the Detroit style pizza! Very nice atmosphere and location! The pizza is thick and crunchy . You must try the emily with honey pistachio and truffles cheese

Emily Pizza

Absolutely a fantastic experience. Visited for a lunch and took the burger and the Luca pizza, shared between 3 people. The burger is one of the best I’ve tried. Juicy and flavorful. Pizza was fabulous too. Got here at 12.45 on a weekday, got a table until 14. The staff was extremely friendly. Definitely worth the trip.

Terrible burger ; very peppery and overcooked meat. I didn’t like the bread. The fries were awful too. Sorry ! ‍♂️ The waitress was adorable on the other hand.

Walked in on a weekday lunch. There are 2 stories to the restaurant, we ate in the basement level! Their burgers are amazing. It was juicy, thick (double patty!) and rich, just melts into your mouth. Served with waffle fries. I saw with other guests their pizza is also a popular choice.

Truly amazing burger experience! Juicy and full of flavor. The pizza was also amazing, nice crispy pepperonis and you can taste the sweetness from the honey. The service was excellent and nice atmosphere to enjoy and dinner. I will definitely recommend this place! Thank you!

Unbelivabely juicy and goof tasting burger. In the top 3 of NY with Au Cheval and Minerva Tavern

My last visit to Emily West Village was five years ago, where I endured a three-hour wait in line. Thankfully, this time I had reservations, which made the experience much smoother. The burger I ordered was undeniably tasty, although I must

Great food (in particular the burger was top tier) and lovely staff. Loses a star because, MY LORD, the music was so bad.. top 40 chart pop blasting out the speakers. It unfortunately put a damper on the vibe at an otherwise cosy dinner spot

This restaurant was hyped up a little more than it actually was. We got the Emily Burger, the Hawaiian Pizza, and the Cheesy Garlic Sticks. Out of everything, the Cheesy Garlic Sticks were amazing!!! They truly hit the spot. The burger was

Dined for lunch at an outside table. Service was good and the outside seating was nice. The burger was good but the pizza was disappointing. The dough was too dense for Detroit style and needed a longer fermentation period IMO. Should have

Comfort food at its finest. The space is small but comfortable. We wanted to try their famous emi sauce burger and were not disappointed. Definitely not your common burger as it does have a spicy/sweet taste that resembles Korean flavors.

Had dinner last night for our anniversary. Driving the 5-stars is absolutely the food (had the MVP and Twice Baked; and the olive starter; glass of wine each)—the pizzas were perfection; house cured olives a flavor surprise (a delight!).

Highly recommend! Traveling and we got carry out! Had the big Hawaiian pizza. The dough delish! The sauces so flavorful and the pepperoni was top notch! Will be back to dine in!

We all had the burger and also ordered a Sicilian - like pizza! The pizza was fine, but the burger madiocre. For sure it didn't worth the 45$ (Inc tip) that we paid! On the other hand the stuff was really friendly and helpful

Was the burger good? Sure. Was the pizza good? Yes. Were either of them worth the price? No. I wouldn't be opposed to going back again if a guest from out of town wants to try it out; but I wouldn't go there for myself again.

The pizza was very delicious! The burger looked good but it wasn’t that great. I definitely thought it would be better after seeing the burger’s rave reviews! Waffle fries were yummy. The cocktail I had was subpar. More

Their burger was fantastic, but Emily's pizza stole the show. Our waiter recommended we add sausage or bacon to it, and WOW, were they right! 10/10

Often said to be one of the best burgers in New York, if not on the planet. Had to give it a try
