What people say, in short
Emmett's recommendations cover its New York venues, including MacDougal Street. Diners seeking Chicago-style pizza recommend the deep dish, while two commenters particularly favor tavern-style thin crust. Grove Street comments concern that separate venue and are not assigned to MacDougal's menu. A repeat visitor finds the deep dish unexceptional, and another notes that waiting for a pie can take time.
