Splitting a pizza pie post game is a time honored NYC tradition which is why these NYC Footy fields are the top picks when it comes to topping off your night with nearby pizza.

Whether you need to eat after a game or are just always game to eat, pizza is always the easiest answer to what your players really want after a tough win or loss.

But today, we're listing NYC Footy's best pizzerias and the pitches closest to them in case great food is a factor in where you plan to play this fall.
