New York City has enough pizza to feed a small country, so when a new pie starts getting attention, you listen.

Yesterday’s, the buzzy new bar at 157 Bleecker Street, is quickly becoming known for its wood-fired pizza, giving West Village locals another reason to stop in—whether they’re there for dinner, drinks or the inevitable “one more cocktail” that turns into a late night.

The two-level Greenwich Village spot opened in 2026 with an old-school New York bar aesthetic, combining warm wood, banquettes, nostalgic details and a downstairs area that eventually shifts into more of a nightlife scene. But the pizza is no afterthought.

The current menu features several pizzas, including Classic Cheese, Margherita, Cup ’N Char Pepperoni, Spicy Pesto, BBQ Pork & Goat Cheese, Buffalo Chicken and Cacio e Pepe. Prices range from $18 to $22, with gluten-free crust available for an additional charge.

And the Cup ’N Char Pepperoni pizza deserves special attention. The crispy, curled pepperoni brings exactly the kind of salty, cheesy chaos that makes ordering pizza after a couple of drinks feel like an excellent life decision.

Yesterday’s is also positioning itself as more than a pizza place. The cocktail-heavy menu, late-night hours and weekend DJs make it a destination for West Village nightlife, while the wood-fired oven gives people a legitimate reason to arrive hungry.

The restaurant is open until 4 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, which means your pizza doesn’t necessarily have to be an early dinner. Sometimes the best slice is the one consumed when you should absolutely be asleep.

For anyone searching for the best pizza in NYC, West Village pizza, Bleecker Street restaurants or new NYC bars, Yesterday’s is worth putting on the list.

Come for the drinks. Stay for the pizza. Blame tomorrow.
