Beso
St. George tapas standby a short walk from the ferry terminal — sangria, garlicky shrimp, and paella that make it the easiest good sit-down meal on a ferry loop.
Order: Gambas al ajillo and the paella; the lunch specials are the value play before a ferry back.

Denino's Pizzeria & Tavern
Port Richmond tavern slinging thin, crisp bar pies since 1937 — the standard every other Staten Island pizzeria gets measured against. Still a family-run barroom, not a shrine.
Order: The garbage pie (sausage, meatball, pepperoni, mushroom, onion) — and start with the fried calamari, a house ritual.
verified open Aug 2026 (official site deninos.com + Yelp updated Jul 2026); open daily 11am-11pm

Joe & Pat's Pizzeria
Since 1960, the cracker-thin crust that defines the other pole of SI pizza — the Manhattan offshoot got famous, but this Victory Blvd original is the source.
Order: Vodka pie, thin as a record sleeve — they arguably invented the vodka-sauce pizza. Half plain, half vodka settles arguments.

Killmeyer's Old Bavaria Inn
An 1855 German tavern at the island's far southwest edge — carved mahogany bar, biergarten with live oompah on weekends, and a beer list that takes itself seriously. Feels like a road trip without leaving the city.
Order: The wurst platter with kraut and spaetzle, and a liter of German lager in the biergarten.

Lee's Tavern
No sign outside, cash in your pocket — a Dongan Hills basement-level barroom that locals have kept half-secret since 1940. Bar pies and cold drafts, nothing else needed.
Order: The white clam pie, ultra-thin and loaded; add a red onion-and-pepperoni pie for the table.
verified open Aug 2026 (Yelp updated Aug 2026, leestavernnyc.com active); CASH ONLY, no sign out front

The Original Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza
South Shore brick-oven spot with world-pizza-competition trophies and the swagger to match. The deep-south-of-Hylan stop when the ferry crowd never makes it past St. George.
Order: The vodka pie or their award-winning smokin' Goodfella (fresh mozz, roasted peppers, pepperoni).
