Gotham Pizza is a chain serving up the classic selection of pies as well as a some less traditional.
I stopped in at Gotham when I was nearly famished post-thrifting in the area. There is a nice big dining area–although nothing fancy, it's hard to find an affordable take-out eatery in New York that has more than a couple of tables. This place is definitely good for groups on the go. I ended up just getting a single plain slice and a soda because I got railed with the 'credit card minimum' (always in quotations because this is illegal). I really, enjoyed the different type of crust their regular slice delivers–it's very thin, and has this crackly texture to it. Unfortunately for the price it was not worth it. For $5.00 I got a small slice and a watered down fountain beverage. At other places in the area you can get two bigger slices and a soda for the same price. They indeed need a price adjustment considering their slices aren't hefty.
I'd consider ordering pies from Gotham in the future but I would definitely patronize another local establishment to get a better deal on single slices.
I went in for the lunch special which is two slices and a soda for five dollars. It would have been a good deal however the pizza was just OK. It was cooked correctly, there was a good sauce to cheese ratio, and it tasted the right amount of spicy, but it was nothing exceptional. Also the man at the register wasn't memorable, he was kind of robotic. I do not think I'll be returning as there is another pizza place nearby that to me is superior.
"Got ham pizza? Huh? Get it? Huhhh?"
"Sir… this is like the fifth time, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
^ Imaginary conversation I'd like to have with an employee here. (They may or may not have ham, to be honest…)
Anyway, this pizza place is a minute walk from my apartment and this makes me happy for two reasons.
1. Lunch special: $5 for two cheese pizzas with a coke = my go-to when I'm feeling broke and not-so adventurous.
2. Their pizza is good. The cheese is substantial and the crust is nice and crispy. When it comes to bang for my buck, Gotham delivers. *ba dum psh* (But like I said, I walk there, so no need for that.)
On another note, I had the white pizza and the margherita before — I wasn't that impressed, so I think I'll stick to my plain-jane favorite from now on: cheese.
It's a very straightforward pizzeria. It's a tiny place with about 6-7 tables, 2 two sweaters and 4-5 four seaters
The food:
Grandma Slice- I thought the flavor of this was good, the sauce had a nice pop and you can see chunks of garlic and pieces of basil throughout. The bottom also had a nice crunchy bottom.
Plain Slice- this was good but not as good as the grandma. The plain had a very unusual bottom to the slice, it had these mini craters on the bottom but it was nice and crunchy.
BEST GRANDMA PIE in the city! Upper east side staple, two locations.. both make the best grandma pies.. this is the pizza place we get delivery from the most.
Just okay pizza. Sauce kind of bland, way too little cheese and the pizza from the last delivery was warm at best, plus the guys there are rude.
it's inexplicable why i go here, but i just love their plain slices (i haven't tried the others). i want to say they use a cornmeal on the bottom to add a crunch to the thin crust. good proportions of sauce and cheese and that's really it. their garlic knots are really good too; garlicky without being greasy (4 for $1.00 too). i like the plain slices more than luigis which is only two blocks away.
You know that song its all about dat bass no treble. Well the equivalent in pizza is the crust. And this place didn't have it. Mushy bland crust. Bottom was like sandpaper.
Look it is pizza… and all pizza created on this great green earth is delicious. But as far as pizza goes… it is mediocre. Barely warm. Rushed it a bit out of the oven. Pepperoni wasn't even melted in.. was like small discs protruding up above.. not how you know its supposed to be. Yeah it is open late. Yeah it is pizza. But its not great.. so don't kid yourself
