Really cramp space, meant as a grab and go joint
Variety of slice options is decent
Toppings won't wow by any means
Crust is good but no "wow" factor
Didn't think they lived up to their friendly name
$5 two cheese slice special + drink (not sure if they still have that) but the drink is small just as an fyi
Overall Thoughts
When in a pinch and on a budget you could do worse then FGP
The Bad
– Very small (only one table)
– Some workers didn't know english
– Ran out of garlic knots
The Good
– Whole wheat options
– Slices are nice and cripsy although it is a bit thicker than regular pizza
– Mushroom and brocolli pizza (whole wheat) is awesome—decent portions for the price you pay
The Bottomline- Pretty hard to find a good pizzeria around the neighborhood. I stumbled upon this place and it was pretty good. I love the crispness!
Here's some new intel. So I was passing by this joint for years and I finally stopped in around March of 2015. "Holy sh*& this sauce is good, nice and tangey and not sweet!"
I was trying to figure out what the magic of this place and today while I was ironically ordering a meatball parm I start staring right at the pizzaiolo who is staring right back at me. We exchange hello's and I ask him if he's the guy from Majestic (Century 21 Pizza place) and he said yeah. So I tell him that their pizza hasn't been tasting right which was the reason why I stopped at this place.
So ironic that the pizza always comes down to the guy who orders the ingredient and crafts the pizza by hand!
This is a solid NY slice of pizza. The guy who makes the pizza's here has been making pizzas for at least 15 years that I am aware of. Really good pizza especially if you get a premade pizza that has been twice cooked!
Hiole in the wall pizza place that I go to every now and then. Often a delivery for late night meetings at the office. Pizza is not too doughy and has a good cheese to sauce ration. Good selection of toppings. Also have breakfast sandwichwes here which are surprisingly fresh and good. I don't expect much and I am always satisfied when I eat here.
Local hole-in-the-wall pizzeria serving your basics and bit more. Line is usually out the door during the weekday lunch hour…for good reason. Solid slice, fresh and piping hot! $2.50 price point is a bit steep considering the thinness but it gets the job done. Certainly more authentic than the nearby Papa John's pizza bar…
I ordered 5 pies for 10 bucks each for my coworkers birthday. They delivered it to my job. They were tasty. Delicious. I've eaten here five more times sense then. It's my go to spot for a NYC slice by my job! Who else agrees??? Check it out.
You would be lucky to find a seat here. Small joint but good deals. I got a $5 deal 2 plain slice and a small soda. Not bad! The pizza isn't the greatest but if you haven't had a lot of pizza in the city – this tastes good and you can say you had your NYC slice. The quality is great for the price! So come here for your NYC slice and enjoy!
I really regret eating here. I only had a 9 meals in NYC on my latest trip and I wasted one of them on crappy pizza. The pizza wasn't good. The mushrooms were cold and the pizza was cold too. Not heated up enough. Very doughy, not flavorful and just not good. Skip this, there is much better pizza to be had. Oh and they only carry crappy pepsi products( in the fountain). That's what you'll get if you get 2 slices.
