"Best slice I've ever had. Gotta get the cheese slice and fresh mozz slice."
"Classic New York style pizza! It doesn’t get better than this!"
"One of THE BEST pizzas in the city and therefore the world."
"Very good..actually great pizza, greasy like a NYC pizza should be with good tasting cheese, pepperoni and fresh tomatoes flavors."
"Good balance on tomato and cheese, excellent crust, flavors all is there that anyone can possibly ask for in a pizza."
"The pizza is always fresh and good."
"Their NY thin crust pizza was the absolute BEST!!"
Cons:
"This is a very average pizza shop. I was rather disappointed after seeing so many high reviews online."
"The cheese doesn’t even taste like shredded mozzarella, it just tastes wet and runny."
"$9 for two slices... seemed like a rip for what it was."
"The square was quite springey and fluffy, but the cheese due to the temperature came off the top from hardening."
"However, the Sicilian was awful. Possibly the worst Sicilian crust I've ever had."
"It was so BLEND! It literally has no taste that’s why you see people piling salt, pepper, and hot sauce on it."
"The pizza is nothing special, the cheese and sauce are good but the crust is soft."
Service
Pros:
"Get serviced quickly and efficiently. No egos or tempers here despite the constant throng of customers."
"The line may seem intimidating, but it moves fast!"
"The line was short and the service was fast and friendly."
"Staff is fast, helpful and effective."
"No long lines here, you’re served quickly by a friendly man."
"The service was excellent and efficient."
"The staff is great. No matter how busy they get working under much pressure, they still treat you well."
Cons:
"Asked for Pepperoni and they didn’t have any ready so he just threw some raw slices onto a cold slice of plain cheese and put it in the over for 30 seconds."
"And he got an attitude and replied oh come on man! Pulled out a hot slice of pizza and threw it on the counter with an attitude."
"This location the staffs that work there are very racist."
"The pizza was good but won’t be coming back since the guy behind the counter proceeded to turn to another co-worker and call my husband a “stupid white boy” in Spanish."
"I did not like the service, the sellers seemed to be cuddling among themselves and laughing at the customers."
"Literally worst phone service ever. You can’t hear a single thing with all the background noise and the guy I talked to was not helpful at all."
"The newer employees are just plain rude and disrespectful."
Atmosphere & Location
Pros:
"Beautiful fountain right across the street."
"This place, which always appears to be busting, has a great mix of all strata of New York City: residents, students and tourists."
"It’s close to a metro station so you can easily reach this Joe’s Pizza…"
"Location is right by some of the bars and main street."
"A total must-visit when you are in NYC."
"It's fun place to stop by as a tourist as this was the place that appeared in Spiderman 2 with Toby Maguire."
"Iconic New York place, pizza is incredible good! You have to taste it!"
Cons:
"It can get rowdy at night w long lines and drunk folks trying to cut the line."
"This place is somewhat of a tourist trap and all hype."
"The place is pretty small and because of the constant flow of people you feel rushed into shoving a pizza slice down your throat and getting out as soon as possible."
"The atmosphere is a bit chaotic, I actually got attacked here by some guy who started throwing his food at me."
"There is NOTHING special about this pizza for it to cost so much for one plain cheese slice. Also, this place is pretty dirty."
"The wait line is quite long too, for pizza which I would deem slightly above average."
"SKIP IT! If you’re visiting from out of state.. do not waste your time."
