Hamptons Best Pizza (2025 update). It’s the ultimate comfort food, the go-to for gatherings, beach nights, and casual Friday dinners. But let’s be honest, everyone has strong opinions about what makes the perfect slice. For some, it’s all about the crust. Others swear by the sauce. And for cheese lovers? Well, cheese is life.

As for me? I need the trifecta: crust, sauce, and cheese in perfect balance. I lean toward a crisp, thin crust—it lets the toppings shine without being overwhelmed by dough. I’m not a fan of overloaded tomato sauce (you know the kind that makes the cheese slip off with every bite). Toppings? I love it all fresh basil and mozzarella, pepperoni with a little char, sausage and peppers, mushrooms… you name it. Hamptons Best Pizza

Now the question everyone asks me:
Who has The Hamptons Best Pizza in 2025?

While some old-school pizza lovers still argue that nothing compares to a slice from Queens or Manhattan (and yes, my husband still mourns the legendary Gloria’s Pizza in Flushing), I think we’ve got some real contenders right here on the East End. From family-run joints to wood-fired ovens and elevated gourmet pies, the Hamptons has serious pizza game.

This Hamptons Best Pizza list is curated based on personal visits, recommendations from locals, and buzz from social media, Yelp, and Google. My criteria? Traditional New York–style pizza, flavor-packed crust, balanced sauce, quality cheese, fresh toppings—and of course, taste.

Hamptons Mouthpiece Picks for Best Pizza (2025 Edition)

  2. Slice – Shelter Island
    Worth the trip across the water. Creative toppings, fresh ingredients, and a laid-back island feel.
  3. La Capannina – Wainscott
    Perfectly crisp crust, simple flavors, and fast service. Grab a pie and head to the beach.
  4. La Parmigiana – Southampton
    A Hamptons staple. Their traditional pies are hearty and satisfying every single time.
  5. Sam’s Restaurant – East Hampton
    Old-school Italian charm with consistently good pizza. Bonus: full Italian menu if you’re dining in.
  6. Francesca’s Restaurant & Pizzeria – Hampton Bays
    Reliable neighborhood favorite. Great for families and large orders.

BEST BREAKFAST IN THE HAMPTONS

Hamptons Best Breakfast Picks..breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also my absolute favorite meal of the day. How many of you love a good Breakfast? How many of you could eat breakfast for every meal? When I cannot decide what to cook for dinner, my daughter turns to me and says let’s have breakfast food.

Are you so busy during the week rushing, that breakfast for you consists of  breakfast on the go…fruit, smoothie, bagel, boiled egg or cereal? Wouldn’t you love to sit down on the weekend and have a big breakfast? When I have time, I like to indulge my family with a super-duper old style “my tradition” breakfast on the weekends by making omelets, bacon, grits, home-fries, biscuits, waffles or pancakes topped with sauteed bananas in hot maple syrup …  I know I go completely over-board but so what. If you are only having this type of meal twice a month, what is the big deal? There are however those days when we like to go out to eat and I thought I would  share my favorite breakfast spots with you. There is nothing more exasperating than going out for breakfast and being disappointed, so here are some Hamptons favorites by both myself and my friends. Enjoy!

Breakfast is very important for you  to perform at your best. It is not a good idea to skip breakfast in the interest of saving time, calories, or getting a few more minutes of sleep, remember that eating a wholesome, nutritious morning meal will probably save you time in the long run. Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight. Skipping breakfast is strongly linked to the development of obesity.


I love Breakfast food and did you know that breakfast should be your heaviest meal of the day. The benefits of eating your biggest meal for breakfast may have less to do with your body and more to do with your mind. When you eat a larger breakfast, you may feel more satisfied and less deprived throughout the day. This satisfaction can help you to stick to your diet and make you less inclined to overeat in the evening.

There are several other places throughout the Hamptons that have really delicious breakfast sandwiches, acai bowls, (my personal favorite is Hamptons Beach Bowls in bridgehampton) Drop me a line and let me know your favorite place in the Hamptons to have Breakfast.

On a cold, crisp day in Sag Harbor, the flag flew at half-staff throughout January 2025. It was a quiet tribute to President Jimmy Carter, who passed away in late December 2024.

There was no ceremony or announcement. Just a lowered flag against a winter sky, noticed by people heading to work, walking the village, or grabbing coffee. In Sag Harbor, those moments speak for themselves. Real talk, real people notice.

President Carter’s legacy was never about power or attention. It was about service, humility, and doing the work long after the spotlight fades. He showed up for people, not for praise.

Lowering the flag felt right. It was a simple act, but meaningful. A reminder that leadership is measured by character, compassion, and consistency.

On that cold January day, Sag Harbor honored a life defined by decency. Real talk, real people, and a moment we all felt.

Sag Harbor’s academic rigor is well respected in the country, Hamptons Mouthpiece contributor Allura Leggard discusses the IB (The International Baccalaureate) and the advantages and disadvantages of starting school at a later time and ending school later. Superintendent Katy Graves will be retiring in January 2020 after 6 years and Allura discusses with Ms. Tice what the process is to find someone new to fill that role.

Ms. Tice is the only current board member that has been through the process before. All of the current board members and candidates have never been involved with the search for a new Superintendent, her experience will be a benefit to this strenuous process.
