The "grandma's pizza" (cheese, tomato sauce, basil sauce) is solid, and the rice balls were surprisingly delicious (warm cream and rice, breaded)! Great for a quick, affordable meal in Soho.

"The square slice has a slightly sweet sauce that is the perfect complement to the melted mozzarella cheese, and its lightly pan-fried bottom crust speaks to my soul." - Chef Jim Botsacos Read more

I've been eating here for almost 10 years, easily on of the best pizza spots in NY. Anytime I'm in soho, that's the go to spot for a slice. Specialty pizzas are nice, but still can't beat the classic!

Best calzone I've had in.. ever! And excellent service too. They were out of ham and cheese, but he offered to add ham to a 4cheese one. Awww..

Plain slices here are disappointing, but don't miss the Palermo, a thick, awesome Sicilian slice topped with bread crumbs and onions. Great Italian ices, too.

Great pepperoni & mushroom slice w/ good sauce & a hint of garlicky crust

The sicilian pizza is great, the whole wheat pizza is great. And they have gluten free crust if you need that.

I'm usually a variety guy, especially when it comes to pizza, but a fresh, plain slice from Ben's is off the charts.
Phil CalçadoMarch 14, 2016
Great regular slices, and one of the few places with nice gluten-free options

"Ben’s large, crunchy slices fill up patrons slightly more than your average nyc fare. Near Washington Sq. Park, this is a good tourist spot." - TJ, Oz content writer

Lots of mixed reviews of this place, but the White Slice is SOLID. Probably the best I've had in NYC and highly recommended.
Dina FierroJuly 3, 2015
The grandma slice is straight up exceptional.
Ed COctober 16, 2011
Square slice with fresh mozzarella is a great choice in this neighborhood
Kelly BoneMay 28, 2013
The Palermo--with marinara, sauteed onions and breadcrumbs-- is a must try slice!
David BresslerFebruary 10, 2014
Best pizza but they no longer enforce their no talking on the phone rule. Just ate while a guy walked in circles around my table talking on the phone (he wasn't even a customer).

Get the Sicilian slice. Why else are you there?
Monica UlloaDecember 11, 2014
I always like the pepperoni pizza - best pizza in the country!

Slices a little more expensive than most, but very good!
Sean FieldOctober 8, 2011
During the summer use the walk-up window. Walk all the way in towards the back when ordering inside.
Nicole MarcelliniOctober 10, 2012
If this is the best pizza of NY, what tip would you leave visiting Napoli? But it's a good deal after shopping on Spring, defenitely.
Henry SolórzanoFebruary 25, 2020
Plenty of pizza choices. Wry humor from the staff

The Palermo square speaks for itself. I would do unspeakable things for this pizza, good thing I don't have to.

It's all about the square pizza here. My fav is tomato onion well done.
Gideon OlshanskyApril 18, 2016
Great slices at even better prices
Kate KAugust 21, 2011
Total dive, but the pizza is always good. Try the Grandma or the Marinara square slice.
Capt AwesomeJuly 26, 2016
No frills in the food, only the pricing has frills. #over-Priced must be tourist/nyu/soho pricing
Ilie KimAugust 17, 2014
$10 minimum for credit card, but gave the stank eye for using one on a $14 order. #customerservice

Broccoli mushroom Sicilian 👌🏾👌🏾

They won't serve you water here unless it is in a bottle. They say they have no tap water but that is a lie as they have a soda fountain.
Ben MackJune 25, 2012
Try the pepperoni and cheese pizza. It's goood.
Ben MayAugust 15, 2011

Double the cheese you'll get anywhere else! Even the veggie is delish!

Chicken roll is almost twice the price for what is almost half the size
Patrick HealyJuly 2, 2010
Scene from Men In Black 2 was filmed her (watched it happen). Don't be fooled, this place is no joke. Pizza is great. They don't need the publicity.
Eric SilverMay 8, 2011
The tomato and onion slice is worth traversing SoHo for.
Jackee F.June 7, 2011
