Not gonna lie, I have pretty high standards when it comes to a good ol' NYC style pizza and this particular pizzeria doesn't disappoint.
I recently moved into the neighborhood and I have been at Highline Pizza far more times than I'd care to admit.
It's a small small space with a few bar stools to sit on if you want to enjoy your slice inside the pizzeria, but you can tell that it's very clean. You won't feel like you're eating in a broken down corner pizza joint.
One downside though, it can be a bit hot inside, especially during peak summer, since the ovens emanate a lot of heat.
Their pizza crust is thin and crunchy. And their sicilians are bomb!
I also really like their chicken rolls, which is only $5. No joke, it's a foot long.
And I don't know why, but their red pepper flakes are spicier than usual. Beware.
Also, I would not venture out all the way to 10th Avenue just to try their pizza. It is a quick solution for tourists who are on the way to the Highline or for construction workers slaving away on the Hudson Yards or for people who live in the area.
Lapin and I came here before the Javits Center. The restaurant wasn't very noticeable from across the street, so we had searched for it on our GPS. The small pizzeria is located right under the HighLine which makes it convenient. When we entered, there wasn't anyone in there. They had a couple of seats line against the walls and the counter but it could feel packed if more than five people are in there at a time. Lapin and I got two plain slices, a Grandma slice, and a Margherita slice with two sodas to guzzle it all down. The pizza was tasty, a bit tastier than the average tasting pizzeria slices but not as great as brick oven pizza. We had to wait around 10 to 15 minutes for them to heat up the slices before we could pick it up from the counter. The guys who gave us our pizza was friendly but the cashier was annoyed that we didn't leave a tip. Given this is a small local pizzeria and we got our order to go, picked up and ordered our slices, and paid in a separate location, I have never normally left a tip in a situation like this. Perhaps, this is the norm and I am at fault but I still didn't think I deserved attitude for that.
Tasty affordable pizza! In a low key spot off 10th ave. place had a good crowd come through for lunch on a Saturday. Owner was helpful loud italian 🙂
I think Highline Pizza's saving grace is their location. It's conveniently located right below the High Line, so it was easy for us to grab a slice and then head up to walk the line. However, I was very underwhelmed by their pizza. It had a lot of toppings, which I am always a fan of, but it was just mediocre all around. It also was quite a wait for a slice of pizza, which usually means it would be fresh and delicious…. again, pretty underwhelmed.
What was also disappointing was that there was no AC. In the New York summer heat, and with such a tiny pizzeria, having sufficient air flow and cooling is a must have. I would have preferred going to the Hudson Farmers Market across the street for a snack and an escape from the heat.
Really great slice of plain pizza from a small and unassuming pizza joint. The location has very limited counter seating so I would not bank on eating with a large crowd, or a fancy dinner. However, perk is that they are very close to the High Line. Buy a pie, and bring it up to the High Line for a nice view and al aire dining.
Great pizza, great price, great location
I thought that such a touristy spot would have sky high prices, but that was not the case at all. We paid $15 for a large cheese pizza. If I could eat the entire pie, I would have. But fortunately for me, I had a late night snack/ lunch for the next day.
My only comment is that they could have cooked it for a bit longer – but that is something that I as the customer should have suggested.
Staff was very nice and catered quickly to their customers.
The place is SOO small so don't expect to sit down and eat there
**Updated!**
I tried their chicken and meatball parm hero – and they are both AMAZING. They made it fresh right when I ordered it. I have had 2 different types of chicken in the chicken parm (grilled slices and 1 big fried piece). I like the single fried piece, but both are amazing.
Efficient use of tight quarters. This joint clearly caters to the surrounding apartments and the high line strollers. Slices, Dr. Brown, just what you'd expect.
Decent pizza.
