Solid pizza and for a great price.
One slice of pepperoni and four garlic knots were $4.50. It was good pizza too. Not some crappy, overly greasy, soggy pizza. The crust is nice a thin, just how I like it. The bottom has this nice crunch to it. One evening I came here after a show at the nearby Gershwin Theatre. The pizza was still fresh, but the garlic knots were a bit stale. I can understand that seeing as it was about an hour before they close. The second time I came to Gotham the garlic knots were great. They aren't overwhelmingly garlicky and don't leave your breath all gnarly after eating them.
The guys working here were not super friendly, but I didn't really expect exceptional customer service from a little pizza joint like this. I can't compare the pizza here to any other place in NYC because I only had pizza here, but I would definitely recommend you give Gotham Pizza a try if you're nearby and looking for a pizza fix.
This pizza place was just across the street from our mid-town hotel. It was just past midnight and we needed a late night snack! The pizza looked scary and cold as the large round disks sat under the heat lamps!
We selected a pepperoni and buffalo chicken slice. Once those slices glazed the hot oven and then onto our to-go box, it was a matter of minutes before we were ready to gorge!
The pizza was still hot and the slices were AH-MAZING! I can't find a place anywhere in Virginia that has this crunchy crust! Besides ginormous slices, the tastiness was definitely top-notch. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure most NYC pizza places serve awesome pizza but to have it just across the street from our hotel…allowed us to eat here 3X in 3 days!
Lunch Special-
2 Regular Slices of pizza and a 16oz drink for $5. Not the greatest but good enough. get it!
pies will run you $18+ garlic knots $1
lunch time gets packed because of the special so so after 1:30 and you'll be fine.
Meh, I have mix-feelings with Gotham Pizza. I love Batman and all, but the Garlic Knots was a deal-breaker for me. I'm giving this place 3 stars because I was sooooo disappointed with the garlic knots. My sister and I ordered the $1 garlic knots and 2 slices of pizza (Gotham pizza + Marinara) to share — the pizza was just a-OK, but the garlic knots was sooo cold and hard. Maybe I came on a bad day or maybe that's what $1 garlic knots taste like, but quality of food was not there for me. I shouldn't expect much from cheap pizza, but C'MON … cold/stale garlic knots is NOT OK.
SO MY ADVICE to any foodies traveling in NY on a hunt for really bomb pizza, I do not recommend this place! BUT — if you are in NY and just want some average pizza for cheap, or something quick, come here. Sorry, batman.
Tip: Order the Grandma's pizza. There big squares and not bad as I got 4 for $15 (it is NY.)
Our department has catered our pizza lunches from Gotham and theyre consistently good. Their Grandma's and Margharita pies are a must bit they coat $25 a pie versus their cheese pies at $18.
Gotham offers a daily lunch deal before 3pm–two plain slices and a soda for $5. Sidebar: they circumvent the after school crowd and discourage their pizzareia from being a den of inevitable teenage misfits.
Pizza wasn't bad, wasn't great, it was ok. Staff, however, wasn't courteous. And when I advised the guy working that a bug just flew on a slice of white pizza, he either didn't understand me or didn't care and he served that piece to the next customer. We also noticed him touching pizza slices with his bare hands, yuck! Finally, we ordered pepperoni, margherita and white pizza slices, he only heated up the pepperoni.
Holy Pizza Batman ! ! !
Passed this place while walking around waiting for our bus. Looked very clean and got an A rating. Plus me being a Gotham fan, had to go in. ! ! !
Ordered 2 slices and a large drink, $7.50, yeah, only $7.50. I say that with a smile, because 2 blocks up, that same meal would have been about $20.
Had to wait about 5 mins for a fresh pie, there were only a handful of people in the place. We were able to get a table with ease, unlike Shake Shack.. but that is for another review.
Pizza came out and it looked great. It is by far some of the best pizza that ever burned the roof of my mouth, you know what I am talking about, that feathering of the skin, ouch.. This time I was lucky, I paced myself and suffered no feathering of the roof. Pizza was crispy, thin, and had a great flavor. Some of the beach pizza you get that is thin and crispy is like eating plywood. Not that I have ever eaten plywood mind ya. My son (7 yo) loved it also, only thing left was a bone, he calls the crust the pizza bone. So I finished that off as well. If I had more room on the bus, I would have seriously taken a pie home with me. This place has been saved on google maps for my next bus trip so I can enjoy again.
On a side note, we were here on a Saturday around 6pm. Around 6:20, the place got crowded. When we left around 6:30, the once empty street was now filled with a bunch of people and busses lining up. Apparently, this is a popular bus drop off/pick up corner. So plan your visit around this on a Saturday.
