Unless you’re one of the 4,417 full-time residents of City Island, getting to this casual Italian restaurant is a bit of a journey. But make the trip for the Sunday Supper deal at City Island Pizza Company once, and you’ll soon be making plans to come back again. With a large sign welcoming you to "The Seaport of the Bronx", this cozy green-and-white pizzeria is the kind of place where regulars arrive to find their orders waiting for them, still hot. Conversation flows through the candlelit dining room as people debate City Island’s ferry requirements, or the most superior pasta shape while eating steamed mussels and parmesan-crusted polenta fries.

The biggest reason to become a regular yourself is the $25 unlimited Sunday Supper. It includes salad, garlic bread, and bucatini with Sunday gravy, full of tender sausage and large, dense meatballs. But this is also a great spot on any night when you want to get out of your own neighborhood for some pizza—try the Red Hot Chili Pepper Pie, topped with n’duja and hot Italian sausage—and a steady stream of meatballs and wine. By the time you're on your second glass of nebbiolo, you might start feeling like you’re on vacation, even though you’re just on an island in the Bronx.
