Seppe Pizza Bar

Brothers Joe and John Iovino opened Seppe in 2018 on Navy Pier Court, the ground floor of the Urby apartment complex on the old Stapleton Navy homeport, with a wood-fired oven at the center of a bright room and the harbor outside. The Michelin Guide has recommended it every year since 2021, and the brothers have since opened a second Seppe in Battery Park City. This is the original.

Order the Morty, the pie Michelin singles out — pistachio pesto, mozzarella, burrata and mortadella — and a plain cheese for contrast. Baked wings and a bowl of cacio e pepe round out the table. The kitchen runs all day, so a late lunch by the water works as well as dinner, and afterward the waterfront is right there for a walk back toward the ferry.
