Probably the best $1.00 -$1.50 slice around the area. However, I wouldn't want to make a special trip here if I was walking by a $1.00 spot I wouldn't pass it in favor of an out of my way walk. Good, but not fantastic.
Theres a slice spot, almost, on every corner in NYC, and that is AAAMAAAAAZING! It is by far one of the locale defining treasures. I will never stop looking and trying all of them! I love pizza, if you don't love pizza, I don't love you!
Melani has a great single letter slab serif (shout out to all the font heads) M for its logo. They offer all your basics, the regular slice was good, but the fresh Margarita slice was on point! and the 3 (we got 8) for a dollar Zeppole's were perfect for the food pause on the nightly bar crawl.
I could give you a long list of BS whys and why nots but lets face it, its a slice spot, its cheap, its clean, the staff is nice and the food is on point. Enough said. If your close… peep it!
The best cheap pizza in the area.
I was exploring through the LES near my neighborhood and found this pizza shop as there aren't that many good cheap pizza places in the area. It was great when I found Melania the slice was 1.50 and absolutely delicious and very thin.
It was exactly the slice of pizza that I was looking for in the area thin slice, good quality mozzarella. And a little sweet tomato sauce. It was delicious and the guy who worked the counter was extremely friendly. I will be back here and probably order delivery too.
In short:
– 1.50 slice
– great cheap pizza
– friendly counter guy
Stopped in looking for a quick bite before we headed off to a friends party at one of the local bars. Of all the pizzeria's we passed, this one seemed cleanest (The others, I was afraid of what the chefs may have done to the pizza or what may have been crawling around in the kitchen!). This is a cute, clean little shop and it fit our need of a quick place to grab a bite.
The server/chef was friendly and made sure our pizza was cooked just right. I had the pepperoni slice with a couple of garlic knots. Lets just say its great pizza for a great price.
When a local pizza shop is a corner away from your apartment, it takes on a semblance of family blood. Its there for you when you're hungry at midnight, or in a hurry on the way to something with no time. You become friends with the staff and friendly with the owner.
Melani has a cool little ambiance with its open air garage door entrance and a few stools for pitstop dining. Slices are a good value at around $3, and better than basic. A ricotta and sausage slice was a perfect bit of heaven while the buffalo chicken pizza was overly salty and just kind of gimmicky.
If you are in the area and need a quick slice, this place is better than average.
Open til 3am. Delivery.
Slice and a soda – $4.
Great local establishment near my apartment building.
I got two slices of pepperoni and two cans of soda for 7 bucks. It's great because it's still quality pizza without a hefty price tag.
The guys in the shop are really cool too. It's fast and friendly service. What more could you ask for in a neighborhood pizza shop?
Yum!!! I came here for late-night slices after a bachelorette party and was really impressed right off the bat- the place has a cool vibe and was very clean. My pizza was pretty damn near perfect; the crust was nice and crisp on the bottom and the sauce had really great flavor. The guy behind the counter was super friendly, which is always a plus. I'd definitely come back!
There's something about it that makes it good. It's crunchy with just the right amount of crispness, the sauce isn't overwhelming and the cheese is just right. It's a little bland but it's not. It's also a nice size which makes 1 slice a good meal. $2 gets you a slice and a soda which is a rarity in NYC and LES I'm sure.
