I don't know what I expected from the clam and garlic slice, but the flavor wasn't overwhelming from either ingredient, however it was delicious. The team here is quick and efficient in a very busy pickup window. We took our slices for a 3 minute walk to the beautiful park at Washington Square to enjoy our lunch - highly recommend.

If you're looking for focaccia with a Hot Topic aesthetic, my friend, have I got the place for you!…read more We had some time to kill before heading to Oracle for a game, so we had a pizza showdown in the park with the two heavy hitters in the neighborhood, Golden Boy being one of them. Here's how it went: Service: friendly. Once off hold on the phone, and when picking up, the staff was pleasant for sure. The space: convenient walk up counter. Love a good sticker wall, and the display was nice to have. Value: honestly reasonable, especially comparatively. Ordered a small cheese and a small garlic and clam and two people could for sure share a small. Taste: other recent reviews are hitting it on the head - while the garlic and clam was decent (3.5/5), the cheese struck a core memory of elementary school cafeteria pizza (just without the tiny pepperoni diced cubes, 2/5), and both were just lukewarm, soft/not at all crisp, and just weren't packing much flavor at all. I can see Golden Boy being a workable late night solution for the City that Goes To Bed Early, but not much else beyond that at this point. Rating 3 stars at places with nice people working is not my favorite, so I'm glad that it's an institution and has stood the test of time and truly hope that they can/will calibrate on elevating their formula here, because I want to see this place deserve the love it gets.

No flop Was craving…read moresome pizza and stopped by for a few slices. Order at the counter, and they heat up the slices for you. Mostly went for the thin crust. They make things crisp here. The pizza has charred edges like Neapolitan which adds a nice smokey flavor. The crust has zero flop and a nice golden crust on top. Sauce has a tough of sweetness. I also enjoyed their use of fresh basil and the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano they throw on at the end. It's kinda like a new york slice, but a little gourmet? Very tasty for sure. Critiques: First off, each slice is $6-7, which is a bit steep. Maybe times have changed, but this is def not a budget meal, especially if you are eating multiple slices. Second, some of their already crispy slices have been sitting on display for some time and completely cooled down. When these slices are then reheated, there is a bit of an overcooked taste? Lastly, they only have a few topping options and the quantity of toppings on each slice (especially protein) is pretty sparse. I also ordered a slice of the Sicilian as well to mix things up. It was good, but the crust was just a touch too greasy for me.

I love having the Ellen pizza and a beer each time I visit. This time, I ordered the Ellen and the Mushroom pizza. The mushroom pizza was on the "sweet" side. Next time, I'll just order 2 Ellen pizzas! They are baked perfectly and each piece of pizza has wonderful baked perfectly crust! LOVE the Ellen pizza most! The mushroom pizza seemed like it was very sparse on ingredients, never again. I always ask for crispy but not burnt. I also take my leftovers home in a nice "to go" box for evening snack or lunch the next day. Service is fast, friendly and efficient. Thank You for the yummy pizzas each time! See you next time! :0)

There's also a 21+ seating section in the back for more room too. The service didn't take long as well. So good for sourdough crust!

Everything about this slice felt fresh, high-quality, and delicious, and it didn't feel overly heavy (though I did feel the need to blot some of the olive oil off the top). JULIAN PIZZA (5/5) I got a slice of the JULIAN, with house-made sausage, kale, and lots of other good stuff. The sausage was some of the best sausage I've had on a pizza, and there was a generous amount of it. The kale seemed like it was fried (possibly naturally in the oven after all that olive oil was drizzled on top) so it added a great textural element. I would 100% come back to try some other flavors.

Out of the couple times I've been, Pepperoni Mushroom has been my favorite slice mostly due to how flavorful it is, followed by Cheese/Plain, then lastly the Julian (red pepper, onion, mushroom) which I found didn't have enough tomato sauce for my liking. My friend tried the Tomato Garlic and didn't like it much, maybe just because there wasn't any tomato sauce.

The crust is thin, foldable, and just the right amount of crispy with that great chewy bite. The cheese and sauce are perfectly balanced -nothing overly greasy or heavy, just classic, satisfying flavor. Super quick and friendly service, with a no-frills vibe that lets the pizza speak for itself. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or a whole pie to share, this place always hits the spot! There is plenty of seating (and a beautiful interior with lots and lots of gorgeous green plants) if you want to hang out there too!

We ordered the Garden Pizza and the Chicken Garlic Pizza. The Garden Pizza had a light, fresh flavor, and I loved all the vegetables on it. Both pizzas were delicious with thin, wood-fired crusts that were perfectly crisp. For dessert, we shared the lava cake with ice cream, and it was so good! Definitely the perfect way to end the meal. We came on a weeknight around 6:00 p.m. They also do a lot of takeout, so it's clearly a neighborhood favorite. A fun little touch: water is served in repurposed wine bottles. Be sure to check out the secret menu and secret dessert menu displayed inside--you might find something extra to try. I actually picked That's Amore because I attended a Yelp Community event there earlier in the month and was really impressed. That was my first visit, and I knew I wanted to come back. I'm glad I did. Recommend!

When we arrived, our waitress didn't seem very knowledgeable about the beers, but honestly, that wasn't a big deal. My boyfriend ordered his pizza while I was still deciding what I wanted. His pizza came out very quickly, which we had no complaints about. The issue started when we had barely been seated for about 15 minutes. I went to the restroom, and while I was gone, the waitress approached my boyfriend while he literally had pizza in his mouth and a full beer in front of him and told him, "My chef said to charge you." He was confused but said okay because it made us wonder if they were closing. I checked the hours, and they weren't supposed to close until 10 PM--it was barely around 9 PM. I HADN'T EVEN ORDERED MY FOOD YET. I was still planning on ordering my own pizza, dessert, and a drink. Instead, we suddenly felt like we were being rushed to pay and leave. What made the situation even more unprofessional was that she left the payment device at our table for Apple Pay and then actually left the restaurant. She was the only server we had seen around, so we were basically left sitting there with the payment device and no server. We eventually had to get up ourselves to find someone so we could ask for boxes and return their payment device. No one had even asked whether we needed boxes, wanted anything else, or were finished ordering. My boyfriend didn't even finish his beer because at that point the entire vibe had changed and we just wanted to leave. We had driven an hour specifically to try this restaurant and were genuinely excited about it, which made the experience even more disappointing. I completely understand if a server's shift is ending, but there is a professional way to handle that--especially when customers are still actively eating and one person at the table hasn't even ordered yet. Someone could have simply explained that her shift was ending and introduced whoever would be taking over our table. Instead, we were made to feel like we needed to pay and leave. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the experience. We really wanted to like this place, but being treated this way after driving an hour to come here was extremely disappointing and unprofessional.
