Sac’s Place

Every New York neighborhood deserves a solid pizza joint. In Astoria, it’s Sac’s Place, a corner spot with a coal-fired oven that spits out bubbling, charcoal-smudged pies. The resulting crust is crisp, topped with a sweet, pulpy San Marzano tomato sauce that balances perfectly with the melted cheese. If you can’t score a seat in the eight-table dining room, stake out a spot in the glass-enclosed patio.
