Woody's Pizza

Woody's has anchored Center Street long enough to earn the kind of loyalty that sends James Islanders across the bridge specifically for a pie. The crust — thin, foldable, properly charred — is the consistent draw, and specialty pies like the pesto (prosciutto, house-made pesto, artichokes) and white pizza have their own devoted followings; the house-roasted subs, including the steak-and-blue-cheese Melnard, are an underrated reason to show up. The open deck is half the experience: cold beer, street-level Folly foot traffic, and the kind of sunburnt ease that forgives the occasional loud bartender.
