Carlos RussoSeptember 5, 2014One of my favorite places to stop when in NYC. Open late so I can always count on them to be open and have a fresh slice to remind me of the greatness that is a New York City Slice.
Erik CintronApril 25, 2018It’s good pizza. Growing up in New York to say it’s the best is a little premature. I think like anything when the hype comes the quality gets down played cuz their busting out orders. Cash only sucks
Dana RosaAugust 19, 2017The pizza here is perfection. It's what come to mind when you think of New York pizza - or, it should be. It tastes like the memory of every great slice I had as a child. It's *that* good.
Ryan CampbellJanuary 18, 2020One of my favorite traditional NYC slices. No frills, cash only, paper plates, and celeb pics line the walls for good reason. Just stick with the cheese on their excellent thin and crispy crust.
Katrina PeraltaSeptember 4, 2013Spend the extra dollar to get the pizza slice with fresh mozzarella. One of my favorite by-the-slice pizza places in NYC.
Yuval ZukermanDecember 27, 2018Very plain very fresh pizza. Nothing to write home about. You get to attend in line for pizza any decent $1 slice will match or outdo.
HutcHJanuary 3, 2015This was a fantastic pizza place. Great portions for your money, the pieces were huge, and if you like a good greasy pizza, this was the place for you. 3 slices was more than plenty to fill me up.
Reagan BarbosaAugust 18, 2016I wouldn't say it's the best pizza in the city, but it's still a great and pretty yummy New York slice. I liked the regular cheese slice better than the one with fresh mozzarella.
ZenFoodsterSeptember 14, 2017Joe Pozzuoli's original 42 yr-old W Village spot. Open 'til ~4am. Get a reliable classic NYC pizza slice here: plain cheese, fresh mozz, pepperoni+mushroom or Sicilian.
Robert AccetturaMarch 19, 2015I've been to more pizza places than most will visit in their next few lives. It's a good version of your classic NY slice of pizza. There are better slices, but you gotta buy the pie. Can't go wrong
It looks so tempting fresh out of the oven, but choose a slice that's been standing if you can--the cheese stays in place much better. Crust and sauce are perfection.
Emily WilsonAugust 14, 2015My favorite slice joint in NYC. Mozzarella is solid, pepperoni is solid, but the your best bet is the plain slice (add parm and red chili flakes, duh).
Perfect late night slice. Ask for it to be extra hot. Sit by the window and schmooze. Ask someone cool looking for their red chili flakes-- good opener.
Ran under the same ownership since the 1960s, a quintessential no frills slice with a perfectly crispy crust. Peter Parker's ass was fired from here at the beginning of Spider-Man 2.
Magdalena WelczSeptember 1, 2019Not much choice here,ha! Either margarita or pepperoni. Both are great and going fast!
Justin TOctober 5, 2016Pizza is judged by the plain slice indeed. One plain cheese slice. 2.75 - going price for pizza nowadays. Decent, but not mind blowing. Sauce is decent, could be cheesier. Crust was thin. Good pizza.
Joshua BoggsOctober 6, 2016One of my favorite slices in the city, but the wait is long at this location. They never have enough pizza ready.
The Daily MealSeptember 6, 2012The key to Joe's success is their traditional New York City-style pizza with thin crust, great sauce, and just the right ratio of cheese, sauce, and crust (just a bit less of the first two). Read more
Stina P.December 11, 2017one of the best pizza slices in NY. eat outside against the window shelf all year round in between wandering and errands
Jaclyn RJanuary 2, 2019Classic NY cheese slice, can’t go wrong ordering a slice or a pie. Highly recommend to any local or tourist. All around very solid!
This is the quintessential New York slice. I measure all other slices against this one.
JeffreySeptember 6, 2013What you're ordering: Plain slice Located in the heart of the Greenwich Village, to some this is the quintessential NY slice, and by "some" we mean the insanely famous people in the photos.
Delicious authentic NYC slice of pizza. So thin, with the crunch, and they use freshly crushed tomatoes for their sauce... Foodie HEAVEN. Plain, pepperoni (spicier) but the fresh mozz is the best!!!
cynthia farrow2 weeks agoIf you're a carnivore like me, you'll adore the Meat Lover's pizza from TJoe's Pizza Loaded with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and ham, every bite is bursting with flavor.
Dan. MastrettaSeptember 3, 2013Buzzfeed brought me here. I did have a pretty good pizza pie slice, yoy know what they say: pizza is like sex; good pizza is always awesome, bad pizza... Is still pretty good.
New York HabitatNovember 1, 2011It seems like the city's best pizza is all centered in the West Village. Joe's is just another amazing spot for a slice. If you love thin crust, you'll get one of the city's best here.
The Corcoran GroupApril 8, 2014This place truly defines what New York pizza should be. Get a plain slice- there's really no need to get all crazy with toppings.
Serious EatsMay 9, 2013Joe's is a pretty spot-on definition of the New York slice. You'll definitely want two slices at least if you're looking to fill up.
Andy FrancoMay 13, 2015Great NY thin slice pizza! The crust was great and you can't go wrong with any type of pizza. The pepperoni pizza is amazing!!!
Lance LacoffFebruary 9, 2016Nice little spot for a quick slice. Slices are light and thin crust - may want to go for 2.
ShinnawyMay 13, 2018Can’t go wrong with anything you order. The tomato sauce is the real star of these slices! Make sure to bring in some cash.
Whoever says this slice isn't going to blow your mind is either habitually wrong about all things in life, or from Chicago where they think deep-dish is life. Joe's is the galaxy's greatest pizza pie.
Jorge ConstantinoJune 13, 2017Came here based on youtube's worth it series. It was good, especially the margherita but I thought it would be a bit better. Still, yummy & a good price... also open til late which is another +
Valerie SecklerAugust 17, 2011A classic New York City slice, with sauce you can taste, from a longtime player. Still my favorite, in 2011. Walk towards Bleecker to Grom for an outstanding, if pricey, gelato for dessert.
Marc MayerJune 3, 2015If you see a pie come out of the oven, ORDER A SLICE OF THAT PIE. real nice cheesy slice, great for a quick bite.
Jason O'BrienAugust 30, 2017This is the best slice in NYC. I can't say anything else better than that. Also, about 1,000,000 people agree with me.
so consistently amazing. the tomato really pops on the fresh mozzarella slice
Lenny GalloFebruary 24Really good pizza in the village…great for a quick lunch on a nice day outside.
- Best place to grab a quick regular or sicilian slice... or 5. This is the best pizza in New York in my opinion. Oh, and did I mention it's open late?
Tracey HJune 18, 2012Maybe I've been eating too much Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, I wanted a little more seasoning on Famous Joe's pie. Next time I'll add some red pepper flakes. Good though, and no grease!
This is hands down, the best pizza by the slice in the village. Stick to cheese and pepperoni slices for authentic NY style taste!
Brian StraussJuly 18, 2016Crispy crispy thin crust. Almost no need to fold the slice. Rich mozzarella. Reasonable prices. The best.
Michael MosesSeptember 19, 2016The selection of toppings is less here, but the quality of crust and flavor is superior to most other slices on the island.
SolJanuary 28, 2019Best classic NY slice you can get. Wait for a fresh pie, they come out every few minutes
Christina PadronSeptember 30, 2018This is the best NY slice hands down! I’ve tried so many places, and Joe’s can’t compare!
