What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food, Casey Webb visited Patsy's Pizzeria in East Harlem, sampling the coal-oven thin-crust pies the shop has made since opening in 1933, according to the restaurant's own history and Wikipedia's entry on the pizzeria. The episode highlighted the pizzeria's old-school preparation method and its status as one of New York's oldest surviving pizza spots. Patsy's has remained in its original location at 2287 1st Avenue near East 117th Street since the 2020 broadcast; Yelp's August 2026 update lists current hours, reviews, and photos for the address, and an OpenTable listing updated in 2026 confirms the restaurant is taking reservations. No ownership or address change has occurred at the East Harlem location since the episode aired, per these current listings. The coal-oven pizza format featured on the show remains the restaurant's signature offering today.
