Pizza Near Central Park — Pizza Pete's on Columbus Avenue

A short walk from the park to Columbus Avenue

Pizza near Central Park — after a picnic, the Great Lawn, or a walk out through the 86th Street or 81st Street entrances — is a short walk to Pizza Pete's. The shop is at 528 Columbus Avenue between 85th and 86th Street on the Upper West Side, ZIP 10024. It is not a cart inside the park.

This page is for people in the park: visitors, families after a day on the lawn, and anyone heading out toward Columbus. The avenue along the park has its own page. Same kitchen, different search.

After the Great Lawn, a picnic, or the museum

Come out of the park hungry and the counter is the neighborhood pizzeria on Columbus, here since 2003. Families leaving the Great Lawn, groups wrapping a picnic, and museum visitors from the American Museum of Natural History all use the same door between 85th and 86th.

The museum visit has its own page if that is the whole plan. Here the search is the park itself — a slice or a pie once you are back on the sidewalk.

What to order when you leave the park

NY-style cheese, pepperoni, and Margherita are the foldable rounds. White, fresh mozzarella, buffalo chicken, and chicken parm slices are on the specialty board. Sicilian and grandma are the squares. Veggie and build-your-own cover the rest of the round pies.

If the group is split, calzones and rolls, garlic knots, salads, heroes, and baked ziti come from the same kitchen. Take a slice at the counter, sit down, or carry a pie with you.
