What people say, in short
Kesté draws steady praise for its Neapolitan pizza, with the margherita singled out as a favorite and the gluten-free pie called excellent. One commenter recommends it for a sit-down Neapolitan meal, and another notes the lunch pizza has stayed budget-friendly for years. Views are not unanimous: one diner found the Financial District location disappointing and pricey, with dough that did not seem traditional, and another found the montanara sauce too strong.
