Came here recently to order a pie for watching a game. We ordered a split of their Harlem Square, one with pepperoni and one without. Our order was made in about 20 minutes . It was one of the best tasting slices I've had in a while in terms of pizza in New York City. I will say I was a little skeptical about the quality at first as the place also has burgers and fries on the menu and from my experience restaurants that try to do too much tend to be mediocre. While I haven't tried their other slices I am curious to try other things on their menu. Admittedly, I also haven't have not tried a lot of pizza places in East Harlem or Upper East Side but this may get my vote as I was thoroughly impressed, especially with the size of the slice. I would give G&Just 4.5 stars if I could. The space itself is fairly small and of what you would expect at a pizzeria. It's more suited for carryout. read more

G&J's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I don't know if this place is making any of the "best pizza in New York" lists, but it should definitely be up for consideration! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this gem, and I wish I would've gotten more. To this day I am still daydreaming and drooling about their crispy crust. I stopped in jonesing for some good pizza and I found it. I got a couple of pieces, one pepperoni, the other a margherita type. These were both so good. Very sturdy pieces with a great bite and great taste. Everything else on their menu looks awesome too, I need to come back to work my way through it. The staff was super friendly, and the environment was simple and cozy in the best way. Highly recommend! read more

Keepin it real out here in Harlem Pizza, pretty good, def has that extra crispy flavor, but $6 for a meat slice was a bit too much but still, not complaining too hard cause it was pretty solid, still not a huge slice, but again, it's pretty good for a local pizza spot. Might visit again if I save up enough read more

G&J's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

G & J's offers solid, high quality pizza, pastas and salads. The location is off the beaten path between Third Avenue and Lexington Avenue and yet stepping inside one enters what feels like an oasis. The hot pizza oven competes with the warm & friendly staff in making customers welcome. They have an open kitchen and you get to view the cookery of all of the orders. They offer a made-to-order calzone that served me for two meals. Their pepperoni or plain pies are consistently solid as well. All around a win! I'm planning to try one of their signature pies some day soon. I can't imagine then being anything less than delicious. Check it out if in the area. read more

Tbh i'm born and raised in this community! The workers are not friendly even when I go in there and I'm respectful I shouldn't have too greet them the pizza is not coming from Italy . And I go too this location because it's close too home if I had other options I won't go here .and the cherry on top I order a cheese burger asked them if they had cheddar cheese and when I got my order for delivery, they put nacho thick cheese on my burger so disgusting I gave it too my brother such a turn off and when I called and asked him he had an attitude very sassy ! I won't be goin there anymore the Hispanic men only cater to the Caucasian customers I notice after me a groups came in and they had a different approach towards them, then me and my family and it's sad Cause I'm Latino as well it be ur own people lol and the young lady at the cashier is unprofessional basically everyone in this establishment has no social skills and it's like talking too a wall I have better communication with my toddler . It's a pizza shop guys get it together. so pathetic. read more

We stumbled upon this place after eating brunch and - yes - stopped in to eat again because it just looked too good to pass up. We shared a slice of pepperoni and mushroom, and added on a ridiculous looking chocolate chip cookie. After ugly eating our food, we agreed that this place is right behind Joe's pizza for the best pizza in NYC. The service, ambiance, food, everything - top notch. This will be a new regular. read more

Great menu with not just pizza but appetizers, loaded fries, chicken sandwiches, burgers, heros, wraps, salads, pastas, and sweets to even include a nutell pizza. Food is solid, the owner and employees are super nice. Good music too read more

a slice cost $4 and it was not worth it it was dry they need to bring the price down $4 is way too much for a dry slice

Not a huge pizza person. I mean not a lot of pizza joints make good nuff pizza that I would need to make a review for. I am here to say there's good pizza in east harlem. Try G&J. I had two slices. Crust was crispy. Middle wasn't doughy. And the cheese and marinara juicyyyyy. I enjoyed it so much I even ate the crust. Like I threw out the wax paper it came on that's it. Staff was kind and welcoming. Great communication. Not a whole lotta seating but I came to eat it to go. All in all, so happy I stopped by. Thank you guys! read more

Pizza was delicious! just the way I like! Service was Great! A very welcoming experience! Next time I'm back in New York, I will definitely stop by this place My cheese and mushrooms pizza was great! and so was the cheese mushroom onions and bell peppers read more

One of the most perfect cookies I've ever had. I thought the slice pepperoni/mushroom was perfectly cooked. Mushrooms were delicious and once I dabbed off the grease, which I do with every slice of pizza, I thought it was tremendous. I think they sautéed the mushrooms with garlic first, which made them extra yummy. Also the guy helping us was very nice read more

Downloaded the slice app. Browsed through there selections near me and randomly picked this pizzeria. The delivery was fine and the garlic knots were okay, that's why I gave 2 stars. The pizza on the other hand was very weird. The cheese tasted and looked weird. Like it had that imitation cheese taste to it. Yuck. We tried this spot at least, never getting pizza from there again though. read more

G&J's Pizzeria - Half plain half pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

We had my son's birthday party celebration there today with just a few kids (about 12 people) and it was absolutely perfect!! The pizza was delicious but I was especially grateful for the excellent service and accommodations. This pizzeria is ideal for a small little get together. Especially on a Saturday! Thank you so much for everything! read more

VERY mediocre Italian takeout. Chicken parm was virtually tasteless, paper thin and had NO taste / seasoning. Tomato sauce was bland as all get out. Even the mozzarella sticks managed to be bland and tasteless. Arancini rice balls were massive and yet - bland and blah yet again. Used to like this place but their recipes and quality of ingredients need WORK. Skip this joint. read more

Pizza is really good. I would definitely recommend their bacon slice. Very good size for the price. The staff was very friendly and fast. The place has limited seating areas, so I would recommend to order for takeout. read more

I had a fried rice ball yesterday, like a mozzarella stick but a giant sphere like shape , I dip it in marinara sauce and take a bite , I already imagine a fiery hot Cheetos version with dust covering a red rice ball nice grab and go attitude with a slice to order and other alternatives read more

G&J's can be decent, and it does offer regular discounts on Seamless/GrubHub. But, realistically, it's just not worth going out of your way to eat. Their new "Harlem Square" pizza is a nice way to get the Prince St.-style slice in the upper east side, but it's a little on the bland side. Their regular pies are solid but also bland ... and absolutely drenched in grease. I know pizza isn't supposed to be a low-fat affair, but when the box is so covered in grease that you don't feel comfortable leaving it in recycling, you know they're going a bit overboard. The "greasy" label also applies to some of the sandwiches I've had here as well. The one thing that always really stood out for me was the calzone. it's not necessarily an amazing calzone, but they let you get unlimited toppings for a reasonable price. So, that's nice. But beyond that, again, just decent at best. read more

As strange as it sounds, I first discovered G&J when they participated in a "member celebration" type event at my gym (in the TapOut Fitness days). They provided free samples of their house special salad with chicken, and in one bite I was hooked. I later discovered that the salad comes with a side of garlic knots, which are to die for (when they're salted). I've ordered several times over the years and have become quite fond of their pizza as well. Big, flavorful, floppy slices covered in fresh toppings. For the neighborhood, it's a bit pricey, with a full large pie starting at $24 for eight big slices. When I'm not completely pigging out, I'll order 2 slices for $6 (because it includes a free drink) and save one slice for the next day. Unfortunately they don't sell lasagna, which one has to truly search far and wide to find in this neighborhood. read more

The girl was on her phone when my wife came in and gave her attitude and four dollars for a soggy crust pizza!! Just a pile oh cheese that slide off the so called slice! Because I must give a star before I post read more

This pizza joint is lousy. I had 2 slices, and almost wound up in the emergency room. I got so sick from a buffalo slice, and a veg slice. I will NEVER eat from this place ever again !!! read more

Well it was a chilly rainy Sunday and we ordered from here (Well seamless said 1811 First Ave). First time. They scored some points when we saw they used the brown eco friendly takeout containers. EXCEPT... the fries and onion rings were soggy because these containers hold moisture. But they weren't awful. The wrap sandwich scored points because they grilled the wrap. But nothing to write home about. Zeppoles were delish as they held their crisp wrapped in aluminum foil... tons of powdered sugar on the side for us to add. Mental note though... unlike the arancini which come one per order (so we thought the same was for the zeppoles) 1 order consists of four pieces. So don't over-order like we did. BUT... we reheated the extras in their aluminum foil slightly opened on a low heat (325degrees) and they were great! Roll them in the side of powdered sugar and BOOMdelish! The arancini... those were saved to eat later. And were great reheated. Now... the pasta alfredo. DO NOT order it. It's taking maturity to not write that again. The sauce was broken and oily. Alfredo should be creamy and delicious. This was anything but. So don't waste your money. Until the next time... maybe. read more

One of the best in this neighborhood if you ask me. Plenty of options in regards to pizza as well as pasta, hot heroes etc. Slices are about $4 but they are worth it for the quality and flavor in my opinion. I love the pasta and heroes here which are $8-$10 very fresh and flavorful. Service here is also extremely friendly and courteous like these folks exemplify "service with a smile"! Also they don't hassle you with card minimums! Love this place. read more

I got the Harlem Fries expecting a side dish or snack and they came really loaded and that didn't even include the sauces. There was cheese on every single fry and I loved it! When I work in the area again, I will get. Lunch here again. read more

G&J's Pizzeria - #HARLEMFRIES - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I really like neighborhood newcomer, G&J's. I first found out about them when they liked one of my instagram pictures of Carl Schurz Park. Nice move, guys! I finally tried them via seamless, and was really pleased. The crust was thin and soft, perfect NY style, and it was a tidier, less greasy, less gooey, style of slice. It also seemed like they use better quality ingredients than the average slice joint. Ok gotta go order more on seamless now bye. read more

A great neighborhood pizza spot, they've never messed up an order and they are always on time if you order delivery or on seamless. Pretty good prices for this area too, and lots of different menu items, everything tastes fresh and seems to be thoughtfully prepared! read more

.I ordered a small pie with extra cheese. I received the pie and the tomato sauce was thick and in abundance dripping off each slice under the cheese! It was acidity and took over the taste of each slice. It was clear the pizza had too much tomato sauce. I was very disappointed. read more

Good pizza, friendly staff, fair price, etc. We order pizza here every month and is great. I don't give five stars just because the restaurant needs improvement. The room is a bit ugly and old. But the pizza is great! read more

The delivery person did not go to the correct apartment and left the building. I called the store and the manager didn't care that the delivery guy cursed out my boyfriend after my boyfriend chased the delivery guy down the block. If you can't hire a delivery driver who can tell the difference between apartment numbers, perhaps you should rethink your business strategy. Never again. read more

This is your average NYC pizza joint. The food is good, nothing special or worth going out of your way for. Recently renovated and under new ownership (RIP that dump Francesca's... eew).. the staff is pleasant. Wallet friendly and a good place to grab a quick bite. read more

Great classic NY style pizza joint for the neighborhood. In fact it's my go to pizza place. Crust could use a little more flavor (hence the 4/5) but appreciate the topping selection and fresh ingredients. If you haven't tried it, it's worth the time. read more

I try to support local restaurants but this was really bad. I ordered chicken parmigiana dinner and zeppoles . The chicken looked/tasted as it had been sitting there for a long time, the sauce was super salty/weirdly flavored and the zeppoles were old and thick like a bowling ball . The only good thing were the garlic knots and the delivery. read more

Just when I thought pizza was going out of style G&J's opens up on this little side street. Not a block that gets tons of walk by traffic. Anyway, it opened about year ago and I have been meaning to check it out. Other day went and have to say, it is really good. Reasonable prices. They have some interesting little toppings, like bacon, sausage and meatballs. Good stuff and a cut above any pizza shops and most of take out place in the hood. Anyway, it's not going to change your life, but it's the best pizza in the area. read more

My friend took me here to try the lasagna. All I can say is omg, very nice served and waiter was always checking on us and giving us good advices about what to eat for dessert. Nice located, plus, it's a nice and quiet street view if you eat outside read more

They are truly friendly,and affordable ! .if you happen to be in Spanish Harlem don't think it twice and go. You won't regret it

This place used to be an older, dumpy looking place called Francesca's. Under new ownership, it was renovated and is very clean inside. Food wise, their typical NYC style pizza is pleasant. It is less greasy and less oily than most places. The crust is soft and fluffy too. Definitely a safe choice if you are in the mood for a slice. read more
