On your way to the PATH train? Walking around the village? Have only a dollar in your pocket. If you want bang for your single buck, hit this spot up. Compared to some of the other dollar pizza places i've been to this slice is pretty damn good. Give it a try.
With the tragic demise of the 8th Street Gray's Papaya (damn you, Liquiteria!) these guys are now the best bet in the neighborhood when it comes to dollar slices. And they bake constantly, so you rarely have to wait for a hot slice.
Also, they're open 24/7, so they're perfect for those 4AM "is this breakfast or a *really* late midnight snack?" kinda of meals.
What can you really say about 99 cent pizza? The price is right, and although you may need to wait a few minutes during those after work peak hours, it's decent pizza for the price. Bonus points if you can hit this place right — when there's a pie that's been out for just the right amount of time to cool off so that you don't burn your tongue, but still hot enough to be enjoyable.
The pizza isn't bad, definitely not New York's best, but not their worst either, and way better than some pizza hut or papa johns. I would say this a good place for some drunk pizza before you get on the train… something in your stomach to soak up the alcohol. It's a super tiny place, basically fits maybe four customers at a time.
Make sure you give them EXACT money. On more than one occasion, I have given them a $1 for my slice, only for them to tell me I didn't give them any money for my pizza. It's a dollar, if they really need to charge me $2 for my dollar pizza, whatever. But the last time, I made the mistake of giving them a $20. How do I know it was a $20, because I had just visited the ATM, and guess what, the ATM only gives out 20s! For the record, I was fully sober when it happened. The guy claimed I gave him a dollar. It was definitely not a dollar. It was late-ish, and I just wanted to get on the train and go home, so after arguing, I decided not to go all, 'when keeping it real goes wrong' and just leave and go home.
I'd find somewhere else to get drunk pizza from. Stumble down the block somewhere else. Or eat some leftovers in my fridge when I get home. I don't really feeling getting ripped off, but I pretty much got robbed here.
Fresh Pizza is right. We got three slices from a pie right out of the oven. It tasted exactly like you want NY style pizza to taste. Gooey and burn-the-roof-of-your-mouth cheesy. If you need some insurance at 3am to prevent a hangover in the morning, these guys are awesome.
It's actually $1 a slice. Still a great deal!
Get two slices for yourself, one will never be enough, And you'll regret your decision while waiting for that damn subway train to arrive.
Not much to say here as I think you know what it is! Pizza is truly 99 cents and tastes pretty good! Looks like all they had was cheese pizza but I didn't care as I was hungry and needed to soak up the alcohol. After I smashed 1, I went back for #2 & #3!
Okay, so I'm conflicted here. This slice simply does not meet the NY pizza standard. However, it's ninety-nine cents. That's it. For ninety-nine cents, it's a pretty great deal. If you're looking for a fantastic NY pizza slice, shell out a couple more bucks and go somewhere else. If you're broke, drunk, or need a snack, get a ninety-nine cent slice. Is it amazing? No, it's not. But It's not too shabby either.
