This is 1 of 2 of my favorite places for pizza in New York (the other one being Patsy's). Grimaldi's is worth crossing the Brooklyn Bridge for--the first time I tasted a slice of their pizza, I wanted to immediately eat the whole pizza by myself and not let anyone else at the table have a piece. I've since learned to share, but I still think their pizza is out-of-this-world good. This is as close as you can get to authentic Italian pizza. All the ingredients taste so fresh--the basil tastes like fresh basil, the sauce tastes like real tomatoes, the cheese tastes like real cheese (you can almost taste the cow the milk came from), and the crust is fabulous.
The place itself is a hole in the wall kind of place, small, unassuming from the outside, but an amazing pizza awaits you inside.
I have been to this place three times and there is always a line outside about half a block long so be prepared for wait about 20 minutes to 30 minutes during rain or shine, cold or not. It's not that bad though since the crowd is usually cheerful and patient. If you are allergic to waiting on long lines then this place is not for you. Avoid this place. Run, not walk, away from there.
For those thinking that they could get the pizza ahead of everyone else, be forewarned that the line for take out is the same exact line as the one for those waiting to dine in. This makes sense since each pizza is made to order for everybody.
No ordering by slices and no credit cards accepted. Cash only here.
Now that the information about the place is given, how is the pizza you ask? Damn good. I have a preference for thin slice pizza so I was a little biased towards this type of pizza even before I got here the first time. I have tried the white pizza, and their regular pizza every time I was there and enjoyed it each time.
The regular pizza, crispy thin crust with a little burnt oven taste to it giving it a slightly smoky flavor. Just the right amount of home-made mozzarella cheese and sauce used to not cover and over power the wonderful thin crust. Whole tomatoes slices and basil leaves are baked into the pizza.
The white pizza. Same wonderful crust but slightly soggier because of the olive oil used instead of the regular pizza sauce. Same home-made mozzarella cheese but more of it on the pizza with a hint of garlic taste. Wait too long though and this pizza might get soggy and limb faster then the regular pizza but that should not be too much of a problem if eaten fresh.
The seating is a little tight inside but supposedly that is more authentic Italian feeling. Family style I guess. I never had the wait staff be rude to me or my friends as a few other reviewers reported. To me it seems like the staff is too busy with the servicing the whole crowd at the place to give you undivided attention but is there and seems polite if not friendly when you wave them over for something.
Ya know when i was a boy and i imagined coming to the coolest city on earth i heard all the rumors about the NYC pizza and believed them....
As i grew i realized that sometimes the reality of a thing is surpassed by it's hype and more often than not the hype functions like a wave in a pool - the origin of the ripple is usually the first and last place to feel the it.
As the waves of "NYC Pizza" have spread over the globe - the places that started the trend are now being inundated with people from Omaha,Deluth/Armenia/Tunisia but are nothing ,more than an echo of the first thrill. Yes they are ok, but ultimately they are stuck in the "NYC Pizza" of 1982 and don't have more to offer....
Hey, yum for wood fired, stone, thin crust, bubbly pizza with good ingredients, but i will NOT WAIT in a 3hr (much less 20 min) line for something i can get all over the city....
Hey Ohama! who are you in line with?
Go find the locals!!
Best. Pizza. Ever.
I'm not even a huge pizza eater but I dreaaamm and droool about this place. Crust is thin, soft when warm, and delightfully chewy when cooled. Cheese is generously layered on in slabs, tomato sauce is light but wonderfully textured. Ohhhh myyyyy.
Always have to wait in line to get in, despite going at the oddest hours but SO INCREDIBLY WORTH IT.
Got here for opening & there was a full line waiting to get in so it's true you gotta be ready to wait, or else go early (or late perhaps?). Well I had heard so much about Grimaldi's I was so psyched to finally try it especially with my food loving sis. Well we got a single small which was perfect for two peeps and she got black olives on her half and i got mushrooms on mine while we had sausage all over the pie.
So the pie comes out quick and the service is very friendly so everything is great so far. Well once we started chowing, I didn't get that instant sh*t-eating grin that I was hoping for. Instead, I felt a little let down. Part of that, of course, was the expectations I had - damn them! But the other thing was that our pizza was really salty. Not sure if this was an aberration or what, but definitely it was too salty and that made it harder to enjoy.
Sad face...
Well, the good thing is that I like some of the 'za I've had back home in San Francisco more so I think I may have to go get some of that to make a more fresh comparison!
Now I understand what everyone means when they say you need to try a NYC Pizza! Waited about 15 minutes to get seated. The line isn't inside the restaurant, but you start by lining up outside. Is it worth the wait? I would say it is and it's a culinary experience that one should do when being in NYC. It's definitely a place to go after walking the Brooklyn Bridge!!
Grimaldi uses fresh mozzarella and fresh basil on their pies, very flavorful and aromatic!! We ordered a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pie. It came out piping hot with a thin crispy smoky crust. I read other reviews which said that the crust was soggy. The crust on our pie was definitely NOT soggy!! All the ingredients are fresh and all the pies are baked in their brick coal oven, which is the reason why the pie's crust has that smoky flavor. There is definitely a difference between NYC pizza and all the other pizzas that I have eaten throughout my life in California. Between the two of us, we devoured the large pizza!! Haha. I made sure to enjoy every savory bite!!
The service was great. Even though they were busy, they didn't lack in their service. Our server was attentive and checked on us from time to time. One main thing is that this establishment only accepts CASH!!
I will be back next time when I'm in NYC!!
Best thin crust I've had in New York.
Highlights:
1.The pepperoni is thick and spicy
2. The cheese is creamy and thick
3. The pizza actually tastes better the next day when put in the oven.
So much better than Lombardi's.
"If Time Is Money, Grimaldi's Is Overpriced"
I was really torn when giving this place two stars, because the pizza isn't bad, it's good. In fact, I think it's right up there with Lombardi's. The only reason why I'm giving it two out of five stars is because:
The lines are always horrendous. It is akin to waiting in line for Magnolia's in the Village: sure, they may be so-so cupcakes, but nowhere near good enough to wait in line for such a long time.
The service: efficient. I use that word carefully because while the waiter did manage to bring us our drinks and pizza without any mishap, there was little in the way of personality or even humanity. When you eat here you are just another cow at the trough. The service here is all about turnover - no one wants you to stay any longer than it takes to eat your pizza and drink your carbonated beverage.
The food itself is pleasant enough, but the wait and the nonexistent decor or ambiance makes it hard to enjoy. Why wait for an hour and a half just to eat a hurried dinner? We spent less than half the time we waited in line inside the actual restaurant and still had to tip 20% (as much as I may not like a place, a waiter still has to make a living).
So my advice is... go to Lombardi's. Same grade pizza. Little to no wait, and something that resembles service. Don't get lost in the hype. Unless, of course, you like Magnolia's cupcakes. Then knock yourself out.
The best New York pizza I've ever had! Being a California girl, I've still managed to make my way to Grimaldi's twice this year and even waited in the 45 minute long line to get into the door. The wait was definitely worth the fresh, doughy, thin crusted pizza with an array of toppings to delight your taste buds. I think the first time I went, we ordered mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and ricotta on our pizza. The second time we ordered basil, sun dried tomatoes, and sausage. Both times the pizza wasn't too oily or too cheesy, and the chewy sun dried tomatoes gave the texture an extra kick. And despite my friends and I eating the entire large pizza, we still walked out without the bloated, heavy feeling. Excellent.
My mouth is watering from just writing this review.
I've eaten here twice and it's seriously worth waiting in line. The crust is magical. The pizza isn't too overpriced either.
I've been on the lookout for the best pizza in NY. I've eaten a lot of pizza and this was up there.
Well, there seems to be an anti-tourist slant here, so I'll address this to the tourists. If you are in Manhattan on a nice day, take the subway to the Brooklyn Bridge, stroll across it, hit Grimaldi's for a pizza, then walk down to the end of Fulton St. (grab a cone of very good ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory if you have room left in the tummy), stroll the short distance to the edge of the East River and enjoy a one of a kind view. Will you have had the worlds best pizza? Who knows, but you'll have had an experience well worth the effort, I promise.
Oh, almost forgot. Time your trip for off peak dinner/lunch hours and you can avoid the dreaded wait for a table. And don't let anyone make you feel bad about being a tourist. This may shock some people, but as soon as a New Yorker leaves the 5 boroughs they're tourists too.
Reviewing Grimaldi's, is like reviewing Peter Luger, nothing I could say would stem the tide waiting outside.
I stopped there recently after visiting galleries in DUMBO, it was early so no line, but the Pizza was just awful, the service awful, and the music deafening. The Palladium in its heyday was quieter!
The crust was totally soggy, just plain not cooked, the famous crisp almost burned crust, of John's (Bleeker St.) and Grimaldi's (from visits years ago), just was not there, we ordered two pies and they were both a soggy mess, pick them up and they were limp, luke warm, and spongy.
The waiter spilled on us, and no one really took care of it, he walked away, and bus boys seemed totally befuddled, we had to beg. No replacement of the spilled drink -- how cheap can you get?
The music would go to full volume, people would complain, it would go down to a human level, and then two songs later it was cranked up again to ear splitting levels. I have been to Greatful Dead concerts in the first few rows which were not like this... it was painful, and the music choice -- well let's just say 50's Italian, which at it's best, can be romantic and fun, was painful, you simply could not talk.
As a New Yorker I am sometimes pulled into the tourist spots by friends, and it the spot is just fair. But in this case, it was dreadful.
Cheap though.
After having lived in Manhattan for 20+ years, the land of fabulous pizza on every corner, I was kidnapped by an out of town guest determined to follow the tourist track who dragged me to Grimaldi's kicking and screaming to sit with a bunch of tourists with nary a New Yorker in the place!
From the looks of the crowd there it's probably in every guide book on the planet for which you'd expect worse. So long story short; OK But not worth the trek. Given the taste was fresh, not the typical canned tomato sauce you get. But there is equal or better pizza on most any corner in Manhattan especially now with the new breed of artisanal pizzerias these guys can't really compete unless you're a tourist and don't know any better and are afraid to enter your local pizzeria.
I have to say that those that give it high ratings really don't know much about NY Style aka Sicilian pizza. So yes it might be 4 stars if your idea of pizza is Dominos.
My suggestion? Hit this place up during the off hours. Unless you are willing to wait on a line that reaches down the block, I would say avoid going there on the weekends! I've tried one weekend to show up an hour before but there was already a line forming!
There are small and large pies and a variety of toppings to choose from. They typical pepperoni, sausages, mushrooms or ones like capers, anchovies, onions, and extra cheese/tomato/basil. As many or whatever your heart desires.
Afterwards, its suggested that it would be nice to roam the area for a post-meal walk with your company.
Better the second time. I don't recommend getting olives unless you love them because they are the whole, potent kind. Also, if you are a fan of anchovies when no one else is, then you can get them on the side but they're not as good when they haven't been baked on the pizza.
Stick with their ultra-flavored pepperoni and mushrooms!!
New Yorkers love lines!! They wait in line for everything. It's something I don't see much on the… Read more »
Well, the pizza isn't bad at all. However, it is in no way worth the hype/wait. It's a 'thing' and that's why people do it, plain and simple. It's super cheap though, and that's a plus. Maybe if there were no line, I would eat there again.
Lines are for suckers. Wait till the late fall and you can walk right in. Also, what's with people dropping stars because of the long wait? Would you drop a star from el bulli because it's tough to get a seat? Come on, let's talk about food here. If waiting in line is the issue, then anything that's in demand would suck.
Anyway, I didn't think this place could even come close to living up to its hype, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was insanely good and cheap ($20 fed 3 people.) The service was good. The ambiance was pretty much consistent with any other pizza place, which is to say, fairly non-existent, but who cares, it's pizza.
I've been to Grimaldi's several times in the past few years; it's one of my " have to go to " places when I go to NYC . The pizza is always delicious, the service is fast, and the wait staff is great !! Maybe you have to wait in line a bit...does it really matter? Look around you...the Brooklyn Bridge and Fulton Landing...the scenery is wonderful !! It's well worth the wait !! I only wish I lived closer so that I could go more often !!
DAMN GOOD
I think the prices are right, and so is the pie.
It's not fair to say it's "the best pizza" but it's pretty damn good, i'll tell you
that. Just go and support a classic Brooklyn sit down pizza joint.
I could live at this place for the rest of my life and be completely happy!
I love you Gramaldi's! its worth the wait.
The best I've had in the city. I love Fornino's, but that's more for pizza with the frills, like capers and anchovies and fresh herbs and such. At Grimaldi's I got the plain, and it was perfect... add to that nice waiters, a great vibe... and, again, the pizza... THE PIZZA.
Sigh. I can't wait to go back.
2.5 stars
I hope it was either because Grimaldi's was way hyped up for me and my expectations were unable to be exceeded or it was our poor choices for toppings.. because frankly, I was not the least bit impressed.
We ordered a large with 5 toppings - sausage, peppers, olives, onions and mushrooms. Don't get me wrong, the ingredients and toppings were tasty and fresh.. but it looked and was a little too wet and soggy for my liking. All the toppings were constantly falling off the slice as if it was only meant to be eaten with a knife and fork. Also, please take note that the olives here are definitely more potent than the ones normally served at pizzerias. In my personal opinion, I would choose Lombardi's over Grimaldis. I especially enjoyed Lombardi's spinach topping and draft beer availability.
On the bright side, I'm extremely relieved that there was no wait on a Wednesday night.. or else it wouldn't added to my first mediocre dining experience at Grimaldi's.
3.5 Stars
Grimaldi's is the quintessential NY pizza.
I've only made it here twice. After the second time, the wait was just so discouraging to warrant a third visit. If you don't mind it, then you should go. The problem with this place is that too many damn tourist know about it! That is the reason for dropping a half star. The pie itself deserves 4 stars.
Surprise-surprise!!.....it's cash only. Like most places in Brooklyn!
I've you decide to go, let me know when your halfway through the wait so I can follow and jump in the line!
Whatever you decide to get, add on a small cheese pizza with pepperoni and sausage. Holy CRAP! I don't like sausage and I'm so-so on some types of pepperoni, but these guys must put crack in both because it was divine! We also go a white pizza which was good, but didn't compare to the supreme awesomeness that was our sausage and pepperoni pizza.
Want to skip the lines? Order them to go (you can just walk in, only one person though, it's cramped in there as it is) and bring them down to the promenade and watch people have their wedding photos taken, pigeons try to steal your pizza and little kids running around screaming. Top it all of with some amazing ice cream and you've got yourself one heck of a Saturday.
We waited in line for over an hour, and sure that's to be expected since it's Grimaldi's, but if I'm going to wait that long for food, it better be damn good.
Well, it wasn't. Alas.
We ordered a small, with onions, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes. Service was exceptionally quick (add a star there!), which impressed me considering how packed that place was. The decor was simple and appropriate - red and white checkered tablecloths, Frank Sinatra photos on the walls, Frank Sinatra music on the speakers.
The pizza, however, didn't blow my mind. The middle part was soggy and flimsy, there was too much sauce, and all in all, it tasted like a standard slice of brick oven pizza. Nothing spectacular. I was really looking forward to it too, because this place seems like one of those New York institutions, you know? Perhaps there's still always a long line here because the place has already established itself, and its name is enough to attract crowds.
I thought the pizza was just kind of whatever. Good, but nothing to write home about.
Still, a coupla stars for the super quick and efficient service, for the decor, and for being just decent.
Not great, not bad. It was just...pizza.
YUM. One of best pizzas I have had in my life. It's even better than my beloved Costco.
The crust is awesomely thin. Two girls and one boy finished a large with basic, sausage, garlic. I think what really makes it is the cheese and sausage. It's not precooked meat. They have a pile of sausage that they pinch little pieces from and throw it on to the pizza. SO good. The cheese is also fresh mozarella... not the shredded kind. Next time, I would skip out on the garlic because it was slightly overpowering but still good.
If you want to minimize your wait time try to make it for the first seating... meaning... go there at least one hour before it opens. We went 30 minutes prior and we had to wait a total of 1.5 hours. But it was way worth it.
WARNING: Do not raise your hand in this place. They consider it "rude" or "not nice." Check out my friend's (Elica N.) review.
Was it worth the trek from Manhattan to this joint? Probably not but if you've never been then maaaybe give it a try. I actually prefer Lombardi's over this place as I'm sure most others do. It's right under the Brooklyn Bridge. Make sure you keep a lookout or you might just miss it. Oh yeah, major traffic jam for the bathroom. ONE bathroom for both men and women!
This place is just one big open space and you can actually watch the people make your pizza. Luckily, we came at a good time. By the time we got our pizza, there was this long line going down Fulton. The wait probably isn't too bad as diners are in and out of this place within 30 minutes or so.
The pizza was decent. I actually liked the crust better than Lombardi's. It had this oven-cooked taste to it which gave it this slightly burnt flavor to it. The cheese was a little rubbery and the toppings weren't all that great. We ordered sausage all around and half of mushroom. Only saw little samplings of the mushroom sprinkled on the half. I couldn't even taste it! My friends were complaining that parts of their pizza was cold. It also seems like they like to serve water with NO ice. Ick.
I came merely for the experience and to compare this place to Lombardi's. Without a doubt, Lombardi's comes out on top. Would I recommend this place to friends? Probably not.
Mmmm... the quintessential thin crust pizza. You should go - it really is that good. There's always a line but it moves surprisingly fast. I usually go light on the toppings so as not to ruin the essence of the crust and the sauce + cheese.
On a sidenote, I don't understand how people can abandon their crusts. Now sometimes I throw away crust of regular pizza because it tastes like cardboard and is a waste of calories but come on people... this is Grimaldi's! The crust here is perfectly crispy, slightly chewy and just salty enough. If you don't want your crust, give it to meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
I consider myself something of a pizza aficionado, but had never made the great pizza pilgrimage across the Brooklyn Bridge to check out Grimaldi's. Shocking, I know; scandalous, even. Often proclaimed "the best pizza evah," this is one of those great culinary legends of New York that one must try (Magnolia Bakery, Peter Luger's, etc.) And like Peter Luger's, it ain't all that.
Look, this is unquestionably good pizza, but no, it's not the best ever. Lombardi's and Keste both offer a more chewy, flavorful crust and the toppings here were just alright. All things being equal, I would pick either one of those places above Grimaldi's, but then you have to factor in the schlep across the bridge and the ridiculously long wait. The entire experience took over 2 hours (not counting schlep time) and after 55 minutes spent waiting on line just to get in the damn place, the pizza would have to be at least 55% better than its competitors to be worth my time (call it the Shake Shack factor). And it's not.
The main question you ask: Is it worth the line?
Yes. Yes it is.
Anything you get on your pizza will probably be good. Affordably priced for Bklyn/NYC. Classic Italian decor.
That is all. Now go eat some pizza.
A wise man once said pizza is a lot like sex. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good. Well this pizza is really good. Can I say it's the best ever? No, but oh man is it good. Certainly falls into the top 5.
Now the details, the pizza here falls in between what most refer to as NY style pizza and what would be a classic thin crust Italian. It is a very light pizza; it is not greasy at all and has a great fresh vibrant taste. You can tell that the ingredients going into and on this pizza are of great quality. This truly is a great pizza. One other big plus is as long as you don't overdo it with the toppings the prices are great for a pizza of this quality. So why not five stars? Mostly because some of the slices I had were soggy which is defiantly not acceptable for pizza, I also felt that the pizza could have benefited by a few more minutes in the oven to really crisp up the outside of the crust.
So some suggestions: First, off come here for the pizza, don't expect five start dining. Second, you cannot order slices. Third, don't put to many toppings on this pizza; keep it simple stupid. Forth, bring cash they don't take plastic. And finally just dig in and enjoy.
Kind of a tourist trap! The pizza was good but was it good enough to wait in line for an hour? At this point...I'm not really sure. There are no slices here...I just wanted to try the pizza but was forced to buy the whole pizza...luckily I have a fridge in my hotel room...I've got pizza for the rest of the week. The crust was fantastic on the pizza...the coal burning oven just rocks. I'm glad I tried it but I would not go out of my way to return here.
Good people watching! Guy running the front door was funny. He had to keep busting on tourists. People would try to scam into the resturant...after walking past the line outside. Yeah because 60 people standing outside a pizza joint is normal in every country.
Oh yeah bring cash too...no credit cards! Take that Uncle Sam!!!
So to recap! Fun experience but would probably never do it again!!!
Great pie! Especially after walking the bridge... Seriously, this is one of the top 5 pizza places I've ever been to anywhere.
Grimaldis isnt even in the same galaxy as Lombardis. luckily we didnt have to wait in line to eat here. if there were a line then i'd turn back around and eat at lombardis. their "customer service" is horrible and just left a bad taste in my mouth. The cheese was super runny and the sauce tasted weird.
Verdict? LOMBARDIs all the way!
Now these guys know how to cook the classic thin crust pizza. I am not a big pizza guy but you know when you eat a great slice of pizza. The pizza's are cooked in charcoal oven which add to the taste. The place is pretty cheap but don't forget to get cash these guys don't accept card. The place is not too big for the no of people who turn up everyday. Its just filled up with chairs and table everywhere.
The thing that i hate about the place for which is deducted the 1 start is the huge line they attract everyday. You usually have to wait for 30 mins to get in . But its worth the wait. I would suggest to get some ice-cream from the Brooklyn ice cream factory which is just meters away from this place and the Manhattan view from this area is amazing ..another reason to visit this place.
A reminder of why NYC pizza reigns supreme. Nearly perfect crust and a nice balance of toppings, cheese, and sauce. Most impressive of all: Grimaldi's pizza slices taste great reheated after a night in the fridge.
Grimadli's operates like a fine-tuned pizza factory with pies flying out of the oven and onto your table in no time at all. Our three pies (margherita, pepperoni and mushroom, and (no cheese) mushroom and roasted red peppers) arrived in less than 10 minutes. I am always impressed when cheese less pizza tastes good -- this cheese-less pie was great.
The restaurant's interior is alive with chatter and noise; the tables are clean; and the temperature is cold (no heat as far as we could tell).
Was Grimaldi's tasty pizza worth the 45 minute wait in the freezing cold and the long train ride from Manhattan? Yes . . . but only once in a while.
My all-time favorite pizza place is still Lucali, also in Brooklyn (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). The place has a completely different feel (slow, warm, calm) and each pie is made with more TLC and personalized attention.
The first time we at here, I thought the pizza was just okay. Then when we were back in Oregon, I tried to come up w/a pizza I liked better.... No dice.
Then we came back this September and had it again, and I can definitely say that this is my favorite pizza of all pizzas. I started craving it around June. The crust is a great consistency: thin, crispy and tasty. The sauce was simple and tasted fresh. The mozzarella is sliced, not shredded, so it melts in this weird awesome way to make the texture unique.
We had a party of ten this last time and had to have 5 pizzas and no leftovers (We had some big eaters). If you're wanting alcohol, I recommend against the beer. It's never very cold. They have a pretty big wine selection, though, and even the house red is pretty good at $4.
How you feel about Grimaldi's depends on your NY pizza experience. If you're from out of town, and that can be anywhere from Westchester to the former West Berlin, go ahead. Tourists love long lines in obscure, picturesque neighborhoods. They love to find, at the business end of that line, tasty, authentic, inexpensive native food from the area they're visiting. Cash-only adds to the charm.
So, all you list-checkers, go, and you won't be disappointed. And I will do the same thing in Prague or Bucktown, and I'll feel like it was worth it.
Now, in my real identity as a former New Yorker who grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, would I go back? Occasionally. Forget the scene, the tourists, the line, the fauxthenticity. The question is, what does it taste like? I am honest enough to admit two things:
*Slices of mozzarrella, which Grimaldi's uses, are better than that mass of shredded stuff which forms a greasy blanket on too many Brooklyn neighborhood slices.
*Brick oven makes a slightly crisper crust than standard NY pizza ovens.
The sauce? A little too simple for my taste, and the pizza could have used more. I loved the big slices of fresh basil they put on each slice of plain. A very nice touch. Service was better than I expected. Although the tables turn quickly, when they saw we were lingering, they did not push us out. Half carafe of house wine was drinkable, and the price is reasonable.
Good Pizza, best thin crust I have had in New York and prompt quick service. I went at 3pm so there was no line and we were actually able to sit a table of fourteen in five minutes! The pizza was very good, one large pizza can be shared by 3 hungry people (remember the crust is thin!)
I also liked how their sodas are from soda bottles and not fountain soda because then if you do not finish it you can take it with you.
We ordered half of a pie with mushroom and the other half with a topping but everyone is right the topping just takes away from the pizza. Don't do it.
Oh and it is cash only so leave the plastic at home.
Best pizza in NYC that I've had. The sauce is so fresh and they prepare the pizza with the best toppings, in the perfect ratio.
Yeah, there's a long line but it is well worth it at least once. I can't always bear the commute and the long wait but when I want THE BEST pizza, this is where I go. The service is great for how busy it gets too. The atmosphere inside is also very energetic and hilarious at times.
Keep in mind that you can't order slices, it is cash-only and even if you want your food to-go, you still have to wait in line with everyone else. It is a small price to pay for perfection...and speaking of prices, they are very reasonable.
Bring cash with you because their ATM is broken and the one next door has an outrageous $4.50 fee!
