CHAIN spot. This place sort of looks like a non chain quick pizza spot, however its actually a chain all over the place. It's not bad by any means, but its not authentic. Better than any of the national chains, but not better than any true NYC pizza
In my opinion the pizza was pretty mid. Not the best but not the worst. We decided to try a traditional cheese and a margherita. The garlic knots are super tasty!
I love this place. Yeah, I know it’s a chain but the pizza is delicious and the crust is my favorite crust ever. Crispy and crunchy crust and the pizza is just so flavorful. Went simple with just a cheese and a pepperoni this time. So good, I only remembered to take one picture though.
Pizza was delicious! I got a vegetarian slice and my kids tried the pepperoni. Fast service, nice staff!
was waiting for my bus when I spotted this place from the corner of my eye. decided to try it and it was amazing! the pizza’s crust was crunchy on first bite and is light and chewy. ordered cheese and grandma pizza and both were so good! would definitely come back again.
Good taste. We tried cheese pizza, ricotta cheese and margarita.
They have many options including vegetarian. You can order full pie for about $30 or slices for $4 per piece. Also it's NYC style pizza!
Friendly staff.
Hours on Google aren't accurate, it opens till 4 am.
Definitely go visit!

Pretty good pizza spot. I’ve been here a few times and it’s always clean. I see the staff wiping down tables between visits and the store always looks great. They have a big selection of specialty pizzas and slices and everything’s fresh. Nothings been sitting out all day which is nice, & you can taste it! Sadly the only criticism is it’s far from the good ol “dollar slice”. It’s like 4 bucks for cheese and while IT IS GOOD. It feels like a lot. (I get it though with inflation and NYC prices and rent. But def miss the old days. ) Anyway the food is good, the staff are nice and quick, and the store is spacious. It’s a good NYC pizza spot with a real NYC slice 🍕 check them out!
I must agree with several other commentors about this place. The 99 cent pizza places all around this area offer slightly better taste and cheaper prices. What do you get for $6.48 here that you wont get at 99 cent pizza places besides spending an extra $2? Indoor seating.
Pros:
+Price.. even though that $6.48 for two slices and one fountain drink is $2 more expensive than the same meal at 99 cent pizza places... that $6.48 is still much cheaper than an almost $11 meal next door at chickfila.
+5 large tables to sit at.
+clean dinning room
Cons:
-The taste of the pizza is not good. You really need to goto NJ for great pizza at places like Rudys and Grant St. But at the very least, Little Italy should be able to match the flavor and taste of 99 cent pizza. Currently the pizza here tastes a bit sour with large crumbles on the bottom. The sour might be due to the sauce. The dough is a bit dry. Not exaclty a cardboard flavor, but only slightly better. The cheese also seemed flat and lacked the savory flavor I am used to from NJ pizza. Notice in the pictures, even though the cheese was fully cooked, it still seems flat, no bubbles, no stretchy mozzerella. Maybe its a different type of cheese here? Not sure. Just didnt taste right.
-it was warm inside, but being a windy and cold winter day, every time a customer opened the door.. the whole place became flooded with an arctic blast. Might be a good idea to install a seasonal wind door box on the outside like other places do. That way opening the external door will only flood the box with cold air and keep the restaurant warm.
