Frequently asked questions

Is kosher pizza always dairy?

Almost always. Real cheese makes a pizzeria a dairy (milchig) establishment, so kosher pizzerias serve no meat. Some offer 'meat-style' toppings made from plant-based products, but the shop itself is dairy.

What is cholov yisroel cheese?

Cholov yisroel (chalav yisrael) means the milk was supervised by an observant Jew from milking onward. Many kosher pizzerias in New York use only cholov yisroel cheese — Viva La Dough and Lake Como Pizza say so — but it varies, so ask if it matters to you.

Are kosher pizza shops open on Saturday night?

Many reopen after Shabbat ends — Rosie's, for example, opens on Saturday evening until midnight — which makes motzei Shabbat pizza a New York tradition. Times shift with the seasons.

Where is the most kosher pizza in New York?

Brooklyn — Midwood, Flatbush, Borough Park and Crown Heights each have several kosher pizzerias — and Queens' Kew Gardens Hills. This guide focuses on Manhattan, where visitors most often need a quick kosher meal.
