We already know Newburgh is big on tacos and barbecue, but what about pizza? In Orange County, the riverfront city is jam-packed with pizzerias that run the gamut from gourmet wood-fired pies to traditional New York slices. Whether you’re in need of the perfect take-out meal or looking to dine in while enjoying authentic Italian traditions, head to one of these Newburgh pizza shops and let the slices speak for themselves.
Café Pitti
40 Front Street
Café Pitti combines the best of waterfront dining and wood-fired cuisine on Front Street. The eatery’s three-season patio overlooks the Hudson River, and the menu features classic Italian dishes with contemporary twists like fried calamari, lobster ravioli, cacio e pepe meatballs, charcuterie, and wood-fired pizzas topped with truffle steak, seafood, burrata, and smoked mozzarella.
Cosimo’s on Union
1217 Route 300
The original Cosimo’s restaurant, Cosimo’s on Union opened in 1993 to extend the Cosimo family tradition of family dinners to the Hudson Valley. At this locale, traditions are refreshed with ingredients from local farms to ensure the most robust flavors possible. While the menu spans pasta, meat, fish, and sandwiches, the local chain has become known for its wood-fired pizzas and flatbreads, each made with a semolina crust. Dine here for flavors like spicy fennel sausage, spinach and bacon, broccoli pie, eggplant, wild mushroom, and grilled chicken artichoke.
Eddie’s Gourmet Pizza
169 South Plank Road
On South Plank Road, Eddie’s Gourmet Pizza offers “a taste of New York City in the Hudson Valley.” All pies are made with Stanislaus tomatoes and Grande cheese, which is why the classic large cheese pizza is a house favorite. For something more unique, look to the chicken bacon ranch; Hawaiian; Bourbon Street, which is topped with Cajun chicken, hot peppers, and onions; or South of the Border, which has all the fixings of a taco but on dough.
Frank’s Pizza
154 South Plank Road
This Newburgh pizza shop does more than just pies, with room for wings, pasta, and wraps on the menu. Specialty pizzas include BLT, veggie, chicken marsala, eggplant ricotta, baked ziti, fried calamari, Hawaiian, and even shrimp and scallops. Be sure to add garlic knots and wings to your order for the full Frank’s experience.
Joe’s Pizza and Deli
198 South Plank Road
When you need a good old-fashioned pizza delivery, Joe’s Pizza and Deli has you covered. The pizzeria services the Newburgh area and delivers fast, so you can have your four cheese, chicken bacon ranch, Hawaiian, meat lover’s, hot and spicy, or barbecue pie as soon as possible. The garlic knots and fried ravioli are can’t-miss add-ons.
Pizza Mia
50 Route 17k
If Pizza Mia’s Instagram doesn’t convince you to dine here, it’s hard to say what will. The Italian hotspot specializes in crazy pies with standout elements like pepperoni pinwheel crusts, half-and-half flavors, and tasty drizzles. Create your own pizza or opt for the restaurant’s gourmet combinations like chicken fajita, broccoli and roasted garlic, penne alla vodka, sausage and roasted peppers, and caprese grandma.
Pizza Shop
27 South Water Street
Adjacent to Hudson Taco on the waterfront, Pizza Shop is old-school but not old-fashioned. Appetizers like rice balls, meatball sliders, and buffalo calamari are the perfect segue into slices topped with Italian sausage, smoked bacon, buttermilk ranch, and breaded eggplant. The Bee Sting, with herbed ricotta, mozzarella, pepperoni, pickled Fresno chilis, and hot honey, is a neighborhood favorite, while the Boom ‘Room, with roasted mushrooms, fontina, provolone, mozzarella, and ricotta, is ideal for vegetarians.
Tosi’s Pizza
5442 Route 9W
A Hudson Valley pizza destination since 2007, Tosi’s only recently moved the operation to Newburgh to continue serving signature Italian dishes on Route 9W. Dine in for paninis, hot heroes, baked platters, pasta, and pizza, or order your pie to-go. Specialty pizzas include veggie, white, buffalo chicken, baked ziti, meat lover’s, chicken Caesar salad, cheesesteak, penne vodka, and the Tosi’s Special, which is topped with pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
