What is going on for May?
May's pizza crawl is going to be something truly special. For years, I've wanted to organize an AAPI pizza crawl, but there was only one Asian-owned slice shop in the mix. Well, that just changed - a brand new AAPI co-owned slice shop has opened its doors, & now we finally have enough to make it happen!
But we aren't stopping there. Since we like to hit at least three spots per crawl, we're rounding out the day with a mini dumpling crawl to go alongside the pizza. That's two AAPI-owned slice shops + at least two dumpling spots - all in one incredible afternoon.

Event Details
Date: Saturday, May 2nd 2026
Meeting Location: We well meet in South Williamsburg (near the Marcy Av stop on the J/M/Z stop) for the first slice shop. Then take the J/M/Z to the LES for the second slice shop. After that I plan on taking the group to 2 nearby dumplings shops for more eating. After that, if you still have room & want to do more exploring, we can go visit some popular spots in Chinatown for more eating if your stomach has more room.
Meeting Time: Start gathering at 12:30PM. Leave at 1PM for the first slice shop.
Length of crawl: About 3 hours.
Cost: Pay as you go. You are paying for your own pizza so you can eat as much as your heart desires!
If you want to eat dumplings, bring cash!
More details to be shared closer to the event date!
Giving Back While Filling Up
In honor of AAPI Month, we're using this crawl to raise funds for an incredible NYC-based non-profit: Heart of Dinner.
What they do:
Heart of Dinner fights food insecurity & isolation among Asian American elders by delivering culturally appropriate meals & groceries-packaged with handwritten love notes in their native languages. It's thoughtful, it's nourishing, & it's a beautiful way to care for our community's most overlooked members.
Want to Support Heart of Dinner? Here's How:
Whether you're joining the dumpling crawl or cheering us on from afar, you can still make a difference!

What is NYC Pizza Crawl?
We're bringing people together from all backgrounds through a shared love of pizza. Each month, we explore a different NYC neighborhood, sampling slices from four standout pizza shops. But this isn't just about the food-it's about connection, conversation, & community.
What sets our crawls apart is the focus on building new friendships along the way. As you savor some of the city's best slices, you'll have plenty of opportunities to engage in great conversations & get to know your fellow pizza adventurers. After all, the heart of this group isn't just pizza-it's the people who come together to enjoy it.
