Cello's 36 St. Marks Pl. New York, NY 10003 Vodka Sando This sandwich was piled high and deep with stracciatella and topped with basil leaves. It was smothered in thick, homemade vodka sauce and served on toasted seeded Italian bread. The sauce is the backbone to this sandwich; I highly recommend requesting an extra cup on the side. Be prepared to have napkins handy because this sandwich is messy. This hero is only available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, so please plan accordingly. #cellos #vodkasando #eastvillage #cellosnyc read more

I've been to Cello's a few times and every time I leave thinking, I don't know what I'm not experiencing that everyone else is raving about?! I appreciate the thin crust , but somehow even the simplest topping of a plain cheese slice, gets lost. I've also had their vodka and pepperoni... and I know I will try it again, I want to like it more! Don't get me wrong, it's not bad... I just need more. read more

Pretty chill vibe in the place with a little bit of seating. It took a second for the guys to ask if we wanted to order but I shared the burrata slice and the margherita slice. The margherita was my favorite and really flavorful while the burrata on the burrata slice was kind of cold still and taste-wise missed the mark a bit! The crust was decent and had a good light crisp to it read more

So this spot was a stop on a pizza food tour I participated in. I definitely could've easily walked past it if I wasn't part of the tour. It's a very underwhelming external façade but inside there is some tables and seats plus high tops if you're with a few friends and wanna have a quick bite of New York style pizza. It's definitely solid thin crust crispy lots of mozzarella and if you get pepperoni, they use the small Canadian style that gets really cooked well done and crunchy. I would definitely recommend if you're in the NYU or Saint Mark's area of the city for an authentic slice of New York style pizza there's no table service you walk up to the counter in order and the good thing is you don't have to order by the pie. You can get by the slice. read more

Burrata slice was just ok - the crust was too thin and almost like a cracker, the dough was underseasoned and overall the slice wasn't well balanced. Cheese slice was much better imo. Service was ok. Plenty of seating and great ac. Can get a bit busy read more

One of my favorite slices we got in NYC! After a long day pizza crawling around the city we decided Cello's would have to wait until another day, but I'm so happy we still managed to make it in. We ordered a burrata and vodka slice to share, and while both were damn good, it was the vodka slice that stole the show. Easily the best vodka sauce we tried on our pizza tour. Both slices came topped with freshly grated parm, olive oil, and basil, all touches that added to how great these slices were. The crust here was also pretty perfect, held its shape and was super crispy. We came in on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was empty, a nice switch up from the longer lines we had at other places over the weekend. They had a decent amount of seating so we were able to grab a seat and enjoy or slices sitting down. Service was friendly and slices came out quickly. Definitely a good spot to go if you want some solid NY style pizza. read more

What magic is woven to make such a tasty pizza crust in the Big Apple? Thin and crisp are not the only descriptions here as the crunchy cracker like crust shatters in the mouth and is pure nirvana. Umami rich pepperoni and onion confit made this pizza stellar. This evening there was a party at Cello's and I was happy to be invited. Everything offered was to be paid for and I was glad that Rory (who works at Cello's) offered to split the Pepspresso pizza with me. This made it much more reasonable for me. Plus I would not have been able to eat a whole pie no matter how thin it is. Nevertheless, I ate three pieces! Three? Why? Because it was off the hook divine. I brought two home with me. Cellos was filled with customers all sitting and enjoying their food. Thank you to Team Cello's. read more

Came in for a quick bite before lunch and we had to stop ourselves from getting too full! The Burrata slice was my favorite - super crispy and slightly acidic from the tomato sauce. The Vodka was indulgent and everything you can imagine on a nostalgic cheesy slice. The Pepperoni & Jalapeño was more honey forward, but I enjoyed this crust the most - chewy and airy. read more

I had a great quick bite at Cello's Pizzeria while walking my way around Manhattan recently. The shop is low-key, but has a welcoming atmosphere, helpful staff, and really tasty slices. I ordered a marinara slice and a pepperoni + jalapeño slice, along with a cold Peroni beer. The slices were crisp but not burnt, had zero flop, and the sauce was bursting with flavor. Toppings were good on the topping slice, too. Overall the meal was quick, warm, super tasty, and satiating. I recommend checking this spot out if you're hanging out in the East Village and are hankering for some great pizza. Or even if you just want a drink--they've got a pretty good selection to choose from. read more

Good for the area, but not a top tier slice in the city (don't think anyone calls them that, but just in case people you know oversell it). Compared to some of the smaller slice shops in the city, there's a good amount of seating inside, and they're open reasonably late if you don't want to walk over to Joe's. For that, it's a good option. They do occasionally overcook your slices, turning the crust into crackers, but the pizza itself is still true to a NYC slice texture. It isn't super memorable or differentiated, but it's still one of the better slices in the neighborhood. read more

Excellent dough and crust: crispy, light, airy and delicious. Best two slices here are definitely the tomato and burrata slices. You can tell the sauce is well balanced not too tart or acidic. Whether you have it plain or add the burrata you're in for a treat. Second time here and can say there's definitely consistency here. Happened to run into one of the owners (Stephen) while I was here on my second visit. He was engaging with the customers and proud of his product. In my ear hustling I overheard him sharing his story and how he got into the pizza business. Definitely in my rotation of top pizzas in NY. This place has a steady stream of people in on a Saturday evening. In a city with many options - I would definitely keep this on rotation as a place to keep coming back to. Apparently the owner is in the donut business too - Dough read more

Tl;dr review- Burrata is much better than the plain. Crust is a bit burnt for my liking. Cheese a bit saltier than most. Slices are nice and thin with a bright tomato sauce. I went pretty recently to this crowded slice shop and got two slices which was $10.89 or so after tax including one of their specialties which is expected a bit for a more modern slice spit. They have adequate enough seating inside and hey it's St Mark's so there's close enough spots you can munch by if not. The two slices I ordered were the burrata and the plain where the former is a tomato pie (with the only cheese being said burrata) and the later is a more standard NYC slice outside of the extra grated cheese on top (I presume pecorino) where the burrata was much better. The first I had was the Plain which as said had some grated cheese added post order. My biggest issue with the slice as said above was the bottom crust which was a bit burnt for my liking which has a good crunch but leaves a bitter aftertaste. This is even in comparison to L'Industrie or other more modern spots. This left the remaining crust at the top of the pizza not that pleasant to munch on. The grated cheese combined with the cheese on top was a bit salty but not too much compared to some other spots. The highlight is the tomato sauce which is bright and acidic and pairs with the crust. It was an alright plain slice but there's much better. Better is the burrata which they add some olive oil which was I believe 50 cents more. The lack of other cheese on top as noted was a good thing as it was less salty now and highlighted the good tomato sauce. The burrata was also good quality being nice and creamy. The combo of both meant I could ignore the crust here a bit more as the tomato sauce and burrata flavor kind of fit with it. This was in short not the best burrata slice I've had (due to the crust mostly) but it was up there. This was in short miles better than the plain and worth the price point. The plain gets a 3 at best and the burrata gets a 4. For the price point, I'll round down as there's cheaper places with better larger slices and I just really disliked the crust too much to likely stop in again. read more

Very good slice of pizza in East village! Cello's is a medium-sized pizzeria good for take-outs or dining in. Slices start at $4 each for plain, which isn't the cheapest but pretty standard nowadays (for a decent slice at least). The cheese slices come with fresh Parmesan that's a bit crunchy and contrasts the soft cheese nicely. There is ample sauce with solid taste. The dough was crispy and would say the crust is thin-medium-sized and also quite crunchy. There is a bit of basil (one really) per slice which I guess is a decent attempt. It was hot but not so hot you'd need to wait to cool and ready to eat almost immediately. The staff were quite fast serving slices in minutes even with having multiple orders. Overall one of my favorite Manhattan slices and will definitely return! read more

((4.5 stars)) haven't been here in a minute since this place changed names, and the pizza is just as good or i daresay better. Cello's Pizza has a retro-ish classic pizzeria feel and ambiance--subway tiled floors, soft lighting, pizza place palette of decades passed, and chill vibes. there's a good amount of seating for a small space as i thought it was was way smaller but, it actually has several different tables options and the place doesn't feel cramped. there are a variety of pizza pies and slices on display to choose from. ordered a plain cheese slice to go, and by chance i got one from a fresh pie that just came out of the oven. the plain cheese slices are finished with shredded parmesan and basil...which is always a nice touch. Cello's homage to the classic NYC slice is a thinnish crust pizza that has a crispy bottom and crust with some give and chew (not crackery). the sauce is saucy--very tomatoey but not sweet. since, i got a slice from a fresh pie...the sauce felt like it was laid thicker versus a reheated slice where the sauce would have felt flatter. the mozzarella was think blanket was melty smooth richness (not too much and not too little). the slice didn't need to be folded since it held firm, but I folded it out of habit for a quick winter walk 'n' eat and hit the spot. the pizza is very much quality and it shows in the lightness of the crust to the balance in the sauce. though tbh i like a little less sauce on my slices but again it was a slice from a fresh pie which contributed to its being more saucy than a reheated one. the service at Cello's is pleasant and quick. definitely order from the cashier not the counter guy as counter guy when i was there told me there were no plain slices coming out but when I went to the cashier...she told me one was just coming out. lol. anyway, Cello's is parked on a busy block of St. Marks but it never feels overly busy and that works for me! read more

I found my new favorite pizza spot on St. Marks - Cello's has some of the best pizza slices in NYC in my opinion. My friend was running late so I popped into Cello's after a quick google search and ordered the Vodka Jalapeno slice ($5.44). The crust has the perfect ratio of thin dough throughout and a nice, perfectly burnt char to the crispy edges. After they heat up your slice they sprinkle some thinly shredded cheese on top which was a nice addition. Loved everything about this slice and can't wait to come back! read more

We are on a mission to try all of New Yorks top pizza places. Just checked out L'industrie (review posted). Cello's was highly recommended and lived up to the hype. The only reason I gave 4 stars not 5 was because joes still stands at my number one (and of course lucali). We tried the plain, vodka, and pepperoni. By far the pepperoni was our fav, surprisingly then vodka, then plain. It was delicious but honestly tasted slightly reheated. Also too much crust for my liking. If I was in the area I would definitely be back. Also funny anecdote, nothing to do with cellos, but I got a canned Diet Coke and let me tell you I am pretty sure that was cherry cola in the wrong packaging read more

I'd heard great things about Cello's so I was pretty excited to give it a go on a night that I felt a fierce craving for pizza. Not sure if it's always like this or if it was just me, but my pizza crust was over cooked and was basically a stale piece of bread. I love a good char but it was burnt all over and tasted so bitter. I would've given it 1 star, but the tomato sauce and the burrata were really good. With a proper crust, the pizza would've been good enough to rival L'Industrie but unfortunately the crust didn't do it for me. read more

Decided to stop in for an evening snack and hopped in line, maybe a 20 minute wait. Ordered 2 slices vodka and pepperoni with mushroom. The pepperoni and mushroom slice was fantastic, but the vodka slice was definitely overdone. Burned on the crust and undercarriage, not palatable at all. The vodka pie should have been tossed out, but it was served to patrons anyway. Dropping my rating lower for the indifference for quality. I didn't have energy at the end of the day to wait for another vodka slice and decided to cut my losses. read more

The best pizza I've had in New York so far. Around 8 PM on a Friday there was no line. Not a lot of seating, but people tend to just eat their slices pretty fast and move on. They do have a little outside part area. That's really cute for nice days. Not really a place for takeout of slices only unless you wanna carry a slice between two plates. Of course take out of a whole pie has boxes really reasonably priced at around five dollars a slice. Have to get the burrata. It's so good. read more

I…read moreordered a plain which was $4 instead of the $3.75 listed, which I'm unsure if it was tourist tax or something, and the slice came out piping hot a few minutes later. The crust was very thin, even for a NYC slice, and was alright, being a bit doughy at the top. I found the sauce too sweet for my liking, which almost reminded me of the rather terrible Little Italy chain. There was plenty of cheese, and it had a good pull, even if it looked a bit overcooked on top. I'm presuming the average ratings here and on other sites are because of their location and the fact that a lot of tourists who go here can't tell the difference between Joe's and a dollar slice. Perfectly decent slice on the level, if not worse than many slices in the city, as I disliked the sauce, while the rest was fine.

My second time here visiting from Texas and it did not disappoint! I tried the lasagna pizza but my favorite is The Grandma- square slice.

There was no line at that hour, so we got served right away. The pizza itself had really good flavor and completely hit the spot for a late-night craving. The only minor downside was that the crust was very heavy on the chew--my jaw actually started to hurt a bit from chewing the dough toward the end of the meal! Other than that, it was so good. Definitely a solid, reliable must-try if you're in the area and looking for a classic New York pizza slice!

I had such a fun experience at See No Evil Pizza. The pizza flavors were incredibly inventive…read more(definitely not your standard slice) and everything we tried felt thoughtfully put together. The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

I'm not sure why this place has made it onto so many lists, but it was pretty mediocre all-around…read more In other circumstances I might have found the colocation with the subway charming, but the space is rather cramped and hectic - to say, I was hoping the space would be something to overlook for the sake of the food. To start with the good: the arancini were perfectly passable, and the Sicilian pie was enjoyed by all. I would describe it as more of a Detroit style actually, with a super crispy crust and nice textural contrast. On the other hand, we did not enjoy the seasonal vegetable pie or the nepo pie. I generally really like this sort of no-cheese, umami-heavy pizza, but the nepo was so salty! I'm not sure what specific ingredient was missing, but missing it was. My hopes for a recreation of the rossa pie I enjoyed at Farina prior to their closure were dashed. As for the vegetable pie, the vegetables tasted like the frozen veggies one might find in what was once marketed as a "TV dinner". It was a shame, since the sauce of the white pie was otherwise pretty good.

The Regina Margherita with the grape tomatoes melted in my mouth the flavor was sensational. You must try the Pere & Noci salad along with your pizza, it peas, exquisite‼ Giorgia Caporuscio, an acclaimed and world champion pizzaiola who has earned international recognition for her authentic Neapolitan pizza, is behind the beloved Don Antonio restaurant. Located at 309 West 50th Street in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, the casual eatery has an extensive list of pizzas. Don Antonio has over 30 types of Neapolitan pizzas, and the menu is a little bit daunting at first due to so many options, but even the pickiest eater will find something they'll want to eat. To top that off, Caporuscio recently debuted a brand new pizza tasting menu that features a curated lineup of never-before-seen pizza napoletana, and seven varieties of pizza fritta (fried pizza). Lastly, the entire pizza menu is now available gluten-free. With vast offerings, they are ambitious, and every dish is outstanding.

Personally prefer the margarita as it seems to be a more well-rounded pizza and the tomato just can't be missed. It was pretty packed inside when we got there and took the bar seating, so would probably recommend a reservation for larger parties (2+) on evenings. Definitely one of my top neopolitan pizza spots in NYC!

Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!

We ended up skipping the appetizers and getting a chicken parmigiana and a half order of the rigatoni vodka! It was just enough for us. The chicken parmigiana was just right. It's their star and we can see why. The chicken was breaded well and dressed in the rich sauce and cheese. The breading was not overdone and the chicken was moist and tasty.
