"Fulton Street isn't my favorite place; it tends to be chaotic and crowded, especially near Broadway where many budget-friendly eateries are clustered. Keste is situated on that unusual block where the businesses are set back from the street, diagonally across from a Turkish bath. Although there was a lot of scaffolding, the signage made it easy to find the entrance without any hassle. As soon as I entered, it was clear that this place is popular. I eat lunch in the Financial District often, and I think this might be the busiest restaurant I've visited, which says a lot. I'm not entirely sure if it attracts both locals and tourists, but being less than two blocks away from the Seaport, I suspect it does. I ended up sitting at the bar next to two obvious tourists who tried to order off the menu, were turned away, and then noticed my "normal" pizza and decided to order that instead. I tried the Diavola pizza (about $18 or $19), which is essentially a gourmet version of pepperoni pizza, but with a spicier soppressata. I was quite hungry and ended up finishing the entire pie. The ingredients were solid, although I wasn't particularly fond of the dough and crust. According to other reviews, I may be in the minority on this, but I found the crust too chewy and lacking in give. It could have benefited from a bit more time in the oven to achieve a crisper texture. To clarify, Neapolitan pizza differs from standard NYC pizza by the slice. Typically, you have to use a fork and knife for the first few bites, but when you can pick it up and you've already eaten half the slice? It shouldn't still be flopping by that point. Other reviewers seem to rave about the dough's texture, but I didn't share that sentiment. The soppressata, however, was a highlight for me; it was slightly charred and very flavorful. The service was excellent. When I dine alone, I usually don't mind sitting at the bar, especially during lunch. The bartender's attention often means quicker service and consistent interaction, which was definitely the case here. I also ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio ($12), which was a bit dry for my taste and I thought the pour was somewhat stingy, but I didn't regret the choice. My total bill, including tip, came to just under $40—slightly pricey for this area, but not excessively so. Given how quickly the pizza is prepared, I was in and out in no time. I would certainly return, though I might plan my visit during a quieter time to avoid the crowds."

Absolutely amazing! I'm not usually a big fan of pizza, but this is likely the best pizza I've ever tasted. You should definitely go there right away!

They make it complicated to modify one ingredient on one pizza. I am allergic to smoked and cannot eat smoked mozzarella. I asked to have a pizza with broccoli with normal mozzarella and they refused, saying repeatedly that they don't modify pizzas. That's shameful.

Nice place . The service was good and very fast. I think it was a bit overpriced. The tomato sauce was to much light than it should be. Also the pizza could be cooked little more. Taste ok maybe for 4 cheeses I ll prefer more blue cheese and have been better. 1lt bottled water 9$ mmmm a bit too much especially when u Don t have chance to choose a 1/2 litter . All in all ok View menu

If you have celiac disease, RUN DON'T WALK! Came here on a trip to NYC almost a year ago and I still dream about this pizza. The fact that they have such amazing gluten free options is already a green flag but the taste of this pizza is extraordinary. SO GOOD. I wasn't able to finish my second pizza (split with my hubby) so I took it to go and can confirm that it still tastes good even on the top of Rockefeller Center.

There's an award displayed at the front of the restaurant that proudly announces they ranked 39th in the world's top 50 pizzas in 2022. After my visit, I completely understand why. The gluten-free pizza I tried was the best I've ever had. It was bursting with flavor and had a perfectly textured crust. Almost any pizza on the menu can be made gluten-free, and it tasted just like one made with regular semolina flour. When I'm back in New York, I will definitely return to Kesté!
