Weird. I would have sworn I wrote at least 1 review for Joes. Probably been here a dozen times. Almosty everytime we are in New York we end up in the West Village. ANd everytime we end up in the West Village, we hit Joe's. It is consistently a solid slice, within a minute of ordering, and with a vibe that's as good as any by the slice joint in NY. We were just there last weekend. Our plans were kinda full. We were both perfectly happy to decide dinner was a slice between things. Actually that was the trip before, this trip we had already had dinner earlier and it was 1am. Great second dinner, or dessert if you wanna call it that. It's in a great spot at a great spot with an authetic vibe that can't be bought. It's probably not the 1st Joe's pizza, but its our Joe's. read more

If If you don't like Joe's, you need to take a good, long look in the mirror and ask yourself if you just don't like NY pizza. You might not--and that's okay! Not everyone can have good taste. If you do have good taste, however, Joe's is the prototype. And for what it's worth, probably the tastiest thing to come on a paper plate. Each slice comes out fast and hot, and is a perfectly calibrated specimen of light, snappy, and above all, delicious. It's a true classic, and even the price (under $5) seems like a throwback. read more

Joe's Pizza delivers exactly what you want from a classic New York slice. Thin, crispy, greasy in the best way, and full of flavor. The pizza came out fast even with the place packed, and the whole atmosphere felt lively and energetic. Definitely one of those spots that feels part of the NYC experience instead of just another pizza shop. The pepperoni slice had a nice balance of cheese and sauce, while the plain cheese slice kept it simple and solid. Only downside is it's cash only, so come prepared. At around $5.50 a slice, it's a bit pricey, but still worth trying at least once. read more

This is your quintessential NYC slice. Don't come to Joes looking for the extravagant pie. The slice you'll get will still be nice, don't get me wrong! Pizza in the oven long enough to provide a nice undercarriage, sweet red sauce that doesn't overpower, and delicious melted cheese. Service is fast. No nonsense. Red pepper available on the wall counters. Seating limited but there's a mini "park" across the street. What more can you ask for? You come here for a great time with great vibes. It's the perfect late night bite after a couple of drinks. read more

The sausage was pepperoni shaped. I would like if the sausage cooked a bit more so it didn't like boiled, I like it more baked. Can't complain, it hit the spot ! read more

Joe's Pizza is on borrowed time. I wouldn't be able to tell Joe's from any other $1.50 slice in the city. This slice flops badly, there is no structure, no crisp bottom. It's a mushy mess. That quintessential orange hue that is so common of a true NYC slice is nonexistent. Even with a hefty dollop of oregano, garlic, & pepper, every bite of this slice was bland. I walked right in to grab my slice during the afternoon today, sadly I think I found the out the reason why. Service was prompt, the ambiance is NYC. read more

Cash only! It makes no sense when nobody carries cash anymore. Of course, they have an old crusty ATM machine at the door and you can pay a high surcharge to use it. They probably own that machine anyway, so that high surcharge would go to them. I also see several reviews here about their ATM machine being compromised with skimmers to steal your bank info. Beware. read more

I happened to stumble upon Joe's on a random night. I'll admit, I was originally trying to go to John's of Bleecker nearby. However, I was alone and John's only sells whole pies and no slices. So I came back over to Joe's as I saw there was a pretty solid line so I figured it had to be pretty good. Important thing to note is that the place only takes cash (luckily there's an ATM outside if you need) and is the type of place that appreciates when its customer knows exactly what they want, at least that was the vibe I got from it. The line moves fairly quick for that reason and for the fact that their menu is very simple. They have your usual toppings such as cheese and pepperoni. They also have a mozzarella pizzas and some Sicilian offerings. I know they have other locations but the West Village one is pretty small and can get packed, especially when there's a line. It's not uncommon to share tables and condiments with people. The pizza itself was very good. The cheese had a good saltiness and tanginess. Their pepperoni had a good meaty flavor that went well with their cheese. The experience may vary depending on the slice you get and how long it's been out. Few of my slices came out a bit floppier than expected and didn't have that nice crisp to it on the bottom of the dough. Perhaps if you order a fresh pie, it might be different. Overall though, I'd come back if I was in West Village again and looking to have pizza. read more

Sure, Joe's is pretty touristy, but that doesn't mean it's not good. It's simple, classic, and there's not much else to say. A slice is about $5, but it's filling and works as a nice stop during the day. They move incredibly fast, and it's a cash-only establishment, which is a little crazy for its popularity, but maybe that's a part of the charm. read more

Specialties

Established in 1975 by Joe Pozzuoli, originally of Naples, Italy - the birthplace of pizza, Joe's Pizza is a Greenwich Village institution offering the classic New York slice for over 48 years. A perennial top 10 listing in restaurant guides and publications, we serve the best slice in the city. New York Magazine names Joe's Pizza "Best of New York" and in subsequent reviews has referred to us as "the quintessential New York slice." In 2009, GQ Magazine listed us as one of the "Best 25 Pizzas on Earth." Throughout the years, our Greenwich Village location has become just as popular with tourists and visitors as it is with native New Yorkers who know where to come for an authentic New York street slice of pizza. After 40 years, we remain an independently owned and operated business, personally supervised by Joe himself. We are still what we've always been: a classic NY slice joint. No glossy corporate backing, no fancy pants pies, no pretensions nonsense, and no gimmicky budget pizza. We are tried and true; the real deal. Try us for the best NY slice around.

History

Established in 1975.

in February 1975 Joe's Pizza opened for business and began earning its reputation as one of the best slices in town. Joe with the help of his sons, Andy and Dino, persevered manning the little, corner shop 7 days a week till the wee hours of the morning as the business began to grow. Today, over 40 years after we served our first slice, we're just as popular as ever, located just about 50 feet from our original location, serving up the same great pizza. We look forward to adding you to our long list of happy, delighted customers!

Meet the Business Owner: Joe P.

Pino "Joe" Pozzuoli immigrated to the U.S. from Naples, Italy in the mid 1950's. He took the name Joe, as Pino is an Italian form of the name Joseph. He began working in pizza shops all over the Northeast and by the 1960's he was personally training some of the best pizza men in the area. In the early 1970s, he relocated and opened Joe's Pizza at the intersection of Bleecker and Carmine streets in Greenwich Village. He liked the idea of operating a store in a unique neighborhood like Greenwich Village with a unique and diverse population. There is truly no 'average' customer at Joes as you can find people from all walks of life coming in for a slice. Joe looks forward to welcoming you to Joe's Pizza and serving you up the best slice in NYC!

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.

This location was super busy and there was a line outside the door, even at midnight on a Thursday. However, the line did move quickly inside. There are not any chairs inside, just bar tables to stand around, although there did seem to be a small table with a few chairs outside. Some of the bar tables had shakers with extra chili flakes or parmesan. The pizza slice gets put into their oven to be warmed to the crisp (if it has been left out for a while), so I would say that the service was excellent for that consideration. My friends and I shared a slice of the Supreme. It was SO good! I had heard this was an overrated spot, but the taste of the onions and sausage on a thin and crispy crust was fantastic. It was pretty large in size and could be shared with others. I would definitely come back to try their other pizza slices. Very solid spot to me.

Iconically known as the workplace of Peter Parker in the original Spider-Man movie, I knew it was mandatory to pay a visit during a very Spider-Man focused weekend. Now I'm sure there are cheaper slices available elsewhere - these range about $5-6 per slice, but they're really delicious. I'm a big fan of the thin crust and simple yet yummy toppings. We went 2 times during our trip - first ordering 2 pepperoni and later a Caprese, White, and Supreme. They were all great, but my favorite was the classic pepperoni. If you're going with a group of more than 2 people and don't all mind getting the same flavor, I recommend waiting in line next door - which is where they sell by the pie only. Both lines move relatively quickly, but some times are definitely more popular than others (weekend nights). You can honestly expect minimal eating space because there's so many people trying to be in there, but we got lucky and were able to eat at one of the countertops on the side. They also have additional seasonings available such as parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Definitely willing to come back next time I'm near Times Square!

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 was so happy.

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!

Being dead-ass hot in August, this is something you weren't expecting, even in a pizza joint. After reading some recent reviews, I'm glad it wasn't just me. I felt for those employees in there since customers were also suffering, but at least we can leave. However, the employee at the register regardless of the heat was a total dunce for lack of better words. She just stood there with this blank look on her face as I waited for her to take my order. I was standing right in front so it should have been obvious I wasn't waiting for my food, I was waiting to place the order for food. Eventually the batteries kick in, she snaps out of it and asked if I was being helped. Finally! She asks if I wanted it to go, and I gave her what I thought was a clear YES. I also requested a receipt but that was clearly too much for her to handle. Another girl called out the name I gave them, and my slice is on a plate. I told her that I had said I wanted it to go so she bagged it up (no box I guess?) for me. At least this one apologized while the original girl just stood there. Between the horrendous heat and service, I just wanted out of there. We were taking tons of napkins to wipe our faces it was that bad. There was a standing counter, and some seating in the window area but I don't know how anyone could sit in there the day I visited. I actually took this slice to the gym a few blocks over and ate it in the lobby since I knew they had A/C and the slice would cool off enough by then. This poached pear was delicious. I can never get enough pears, and this was loaded with them. The hot honey will obviously make everything sticky but in this case, it was worth it. Crust was perfect as well. I imagine it would taste just as good heated fresh from the oven, but I'm here to say it was great on the much cooler side too. I wonder if their other location is better; even though it's far, I'd certainly be willing to give them a try since I know the food will be A+++ (and hoping the service there will be too).

As someone who has had their fair share of pizza experiences around the world, I can wholeheartedly attest to the extraordinary slices served at Joe's Pizza in NYC. A renowned establishment with a rich history that dates back to 1975, it is no wonder that Joe's has steadily built a reputation for serving authentic, top-tier New York pizza. From the moment you step in, you are greeted with the enticing aroma of freshly baked pizza crust, blending seamlessly with the rich scent of tomato sauce lovingly simmered to perfection. It sets an inviting scene that promises a slice of New York at its finest, and rest assured, it doesn't disappoint. What sets Joe's Pizza apart from others is the perfect harmony achieved between the crust, sauce, and cheese. The crust strikes a fine balance between crisp and chewy, providing a wonderful base for the vibrant and richly seasoned sauce that adorns it. The sauce, in turn, is a testament to the high-quality tomatoes used, offering a burst of freshness with every bite. The mozzarella is applied with a generous hand, melting into pockets of gooey, stretchy bliss that elevate each slice to something truly magical. What accentuates the dining experience at Joe's is the simple yet vibrant ambiance, echoing the very essence of New York City -- dynamic, vibrant, and unpretentious. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice on the go or enjoying a leisurely meal, the warmth and welcoming nature of the staff ensure a delightful experience, every time. Moreover, Joe's Pizza values its heritage and continues to honor the age-old traditions that make New York pizza world-renowned. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, a step back in time where every slice tells a story of passion, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of perfection. To all pizza aficionados and newcomers alike, a visit to Joe's Pizza is not just recommended; it's a rite of passage. It's not just a slice of pizza; it's a slice of NYC history, an emblem of culinary dedication, and a testament to the joy a simple slice of pizza can bring. Joe's Pizza is not just great; it is legendary. It embodies the spirit of NYC, offering a slice of happiness, one delicious piece at a time. So, the next time you find yourself in NYC, make a beeline for Joe's Pizza -- your taste buds will thank you! read more

Joe's Pizza is one of the classic New York slice shops that represents the simple, no-frills style the city is known for. We walked into the Greenwich Village location, a small, fast-paced space where the focus is clearly on getting a good slice rather than creating a sit-down dining experience. The shop was tight and functional, with limited seating and a steady flow of customers moving through the counter, the kind of place where most people grab their slices quickly or take them to go. The long lines were expected, especially during busy times, but the process moved fairly quickly and the staff kept the orders coming without much delay. The pizza is all about the classic New York slice. We ordered a few slices and found the plain cheese slice the main attraction, with a thin crust that had a nice crispness while still keeping a good chew. The balance between the sauce, cheese, and dough was what made it work, delivering a familiar, satisfying slice without needing too many toppings or extra additions. The Sicilian slice and specialty options like pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage provided some variety, but the simple cheese slice was where the traditional Joe's experience came through the most. Each slice arrived hot and well assembled, and the large size made it easy to fold and eat on the go. One of the things that makes Joe's stand out is how straightforward the experience is. There is nothing overly complicated about the menu or the presentation. We ordered a slice, folded it up, and enjoyed a classic New York pizza experience. The large slices, quick service, and convenient location made it an easy stop while exploring the neighborhood. A few things to keep in mind are that the restaurant is cash only and seating is limited, so planning ahead is worth doing. The atmosphere was more about the energy of a busy city slice shop rather than a relaxed meal, which fit the style of the restaurant. Overall, Joe's Pizza delivers the classic New York slice experience that many people look for when visiting the city. The combination of crispy crust, flavorful sauce, melted cheese, and the simple grab-and-go setup makes it a memorable stop for anyone wanting to try a traditional NYC pizza slice. read more

Okay, I grew up on good Pizza Places. Joe's is one of the last standing of the old timey Pizza placee. Do I like Joe's slices? No, For me, they're pretty tasteless and bland. God Awful to be honest. Percy's on Bleecker Street has a $1 slice that blows away Joe's. But what Joe's does make that's sensational, he makes the best Sicilian Slice in the neighborhood. Most tourists don't realize it takes a lot more work to make a sicilian pie. Joe's Sicilian Slices are are thick gooey, sheer Pizza delight ... a totally different pizza than the 2AM drunk tourist crowd finds satisfying after numbing out every taste bud in the bars on Mac Dougal and Bleecker Street in the wee hours. There are 7 different grades of flour, sauce and spices pizza chefs have to choose from when they order supplies. From exceptionally cheap, low grade, to expensive. The price the pizzaria charges for a slice has more to do with rent, then whether they purchase the best ingredients. Hey, they're out to make a living. Make friends with a few pizza owners and they'll tell you who makes the best pizza in NYC. there's only a small handful left. But for those who grew up in the suburbs, where they can't get the exceptional ingredient that makes NYC pizza and bagels taste so great, which is our natural, mineral rich NYC water that flows down from the Catskills. They will think Joe's slices are nirvana ... but they also think microwaved 'Red Lobster' meals are gourmet. I will continue to go to Joe's Pizza for what they do best ... It's not the slices. It's that small, square black pan that sits on the left of the counter. It's there for the knowing Village regulars who grew up on EXCEPTIONAL PIZZA. read more

The essential NY Pizza experience. It does not get better than this. Cheese, Pepperoni, Sicilian, and Fresh Mozzarella. That's what they make, that's what you should expect. Slices are $2.50 - $3.50, which yes is more than other NY pizza places that are famous for the $1 slice, but you get what you pay for. This is a hole in the wall, family owned, NYC staple. When ever I am in Manhattan, it is THE place for pizza. Go out of your way to get here if you have to. Order with a Snapple. Try the Sicilian if your feeling adventurous as its incredible, but the classic fold-able cheese slice is heaven. They do sell whole pies too, which I believe you can get other toppings on. Sometimes they have slices with other toppings, but what I mentioned above is all you need. Personally, I always get one cheese, one Sicilian, and an Orangeade (only available in the NY area) Snapple. Sprinkle a little parm and red pepper on too if your up for the flavor explosion. They are open super late so come for lunch, come for dinner, come when you are blacked out drunk, just be cool and follow the line. Don't expect warm customer service. These folks are trying to get out as many slices as possible, almost like the soup-Nazi in Seinfeld. They are good people though. Also, a mistake a made years ago, regrettably, do not grab a drink from the fridge for yourself. Tell them exactly what you want, they will get it for you. I have never been stared at an cussed at in Spanish and Italian so much as when I grabbed my own drink from the fridge. Whoops! read more

As a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur and professional pie aficionado, I had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into some slices from the legendary Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village, New York City. Let me tell you, it was like biting into a slice of NYC history (but with extra cheese). Walking into the original Joe's, I was greeted with a heavenly aroma that made my stomach growl with anticipation. I ordered a slice of classic cheese and pepperoni (because let's be real, can you ever go wrong with that combo?) and was not disappointed. The slices were as big as my head, but I have a big head, so that's saying something. Now, let's talk about price. Joe's Pizza is cheaper than therapy and arguably just as effective in making you feel good. But be warned, they only take cash. The pizza components were balanced to create a symphony of flavors that made me feel like I was in pizza heaven. It's no wonder Joe's Pizza has been serving up slices since the disco era (1975) - they've got it down to a science. One word of advice - eat it while it's hot and fresh out of the oven. Trust me, it's worth burning your tongue for. And if you're feeling adventurous, try their other toppings too. In conclusion, Joe's Pizza is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic New York pizza experience. The flavors, the size, the price, and the history make it an unforgettable pizza journey that you'll want to repeat over and over again. So put on your stretchy pants and head on down to Joe's Pizza - your taste buds will thank you. read more

This is a review of the new location of Joe's Pizza in FiDi at 124 Fulton Street, NYC. Delivery was super fast and the pizza was hot. Pizza is my favorite food but, to my taste, this pizza didn't live up to all the hype. There was a good amount of sauce and cheese -- a plus -- but you need a crust to balance it all out. The crust was paper thin, literally. As a result, it had no body, crunch, or firmness to it, which is very, very important. It was soggy and flopped around so the only way you could eat the slice was to fold it and, even then, it was still floppy and sloppy (don't bring a date!). You cannot eat the slice open-faced as I like to do. Having all that sauce and cheese, and a soggy crust, made for a chewy experience, which I didn't care for. Overall, the slice was too salty for my taste. The crust, alone, was too salty and I've never tasted salt in a pizza crust before. I won't be going back, especially since there is another local pizza place on William Street that I like a whole lot more, but without a doubt, Brooklyn makes the best pizza. Think Totonno's. read more

a NYC STAPLE. MUST BRING CASH. There's an ATM right outside but there are always a ton of people by the entrance and in line, so plan ahead and bring your cash. We used to come in high school and then in college after "hanging out." It's open till about 4am. I bring my kids now... It's fresh, hot, super thin crust with fresh sauce. Nothing fancy. Just get cheese. $3.50 or a pie for $23. On Christmas Day, I found a parking spot at maybe 11pm, and had my crew in the car, and we had two pies! It was great and my kids always look forward to being back in the city for pizza at Joe's. Again, yes, you can see pics of all the famous people that have stopped by for a slice. They are on the right wall as you walk in. This is not a sit down place, so come on a nice day, be prepared to grab a slice or a pie and walk out in 10min. It's super okay in NYC etiquette to walk out and fold your slice in half lengthwise and just start eating as you walk down the street. That's what we do! You'll fit right in :) read more

If you're in New York City and craving a classic slice, Joe's Pizza is a must-visit. This iconic pizzeria has been serving up authentic New York-style pizza since 1975, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. When we arrived, there was a line out the door--which is always a good sign--but it moved quickly thanks to the efficient and friendly staff. The moment you take a bite, you understand why this place is a staple for locals and tourists alike: the thin, perfectly crisp crust, flavorful tomato sauce, and gooey mozzarella all come together in that quintessential New York slice. It's simple, fresh, and exactly what pizza should be. There were a few gnats outside while we waited, which was a bit annoying, but honestly, that's just nature doing its thing--not the restaurant's fault. Once inside, the focus is all on the pizza, and it delivers every time. Highly recommend stopping by Joe's Pizza for an authentic slice of NYC! read more

Joe's Pizza in West Village is a slice of heaven in the world of New York pizza. My recent visit left me raving about the amazing pizza experience they deliver. The simplicity of their perfectly thin crust pizza is what makes it outstanding.

It's a pizza that lets the quality of the ingredients shine without any fuss. The overall taste is so amazing that my group and I couldn't resist ordering delivery again on our last day in the city. The authenticity and consistency at Joe's are commendable, making it a go-to spot for those seeking a quintessential New York pizza experience.

I decided to go with a classic cheese pizza and I was not disappointed. The slice was hot, with the perfect amount of cheese and a crispy crust. It was clear that the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. I could taste the difference in every bite. What impressed me the most about Joe's Pizza was the prices. In a city where everything seems to be overpriced, Joe's offers decent prices for their delicious pizzas. It was refreshing to find a place that didn't break the bank. As I sat down to enjoy my slice, I couldn't help but notice how busy the place was. It was a bustling atmosphere with people from all walks of life coming in and out to grab a slice. This added to the charm of the place and made it clear that this was a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. read more

I visited this place because New York is famous for its pizza, and this particular spot came highly recommended. It was featured in a Spider-Man movie, which added to its allure. I had tried their pizza in Miami but was told the original location would be even better. So, I decided to give it a try and ordered a plain cheese and a pepperoni slice. The pizza lived up to the hype--it was one of the best I've had, especially considering the large slice was only $5. The praise is well-deserved. The staff was friendly, spoke both Spanish and English, and handled our orders quickly. They offered both indoor and outdoor seating, though there were no chairs. The vibe is also super chill, and relaxing If you're considering a visit, I highly recommend it. read more

We were looking for genuine NYC pizza and someone on the corner suggested Joe's. Clearly, it's a NY favorite, because the line was out the door. We waited in line for about 15 minutes, then another 15 minutes for our large pepperoni pizza. On the walk back to our hotel, it surprisingly held its temperature which isn't normal where we are from so that was greatly appreciated. The sauce wasn't as sweet as we'd prefer, but the pizza was devoured within 20 minutes, shared with our two small children. If you're staying in Times Square, it's a quick walk to Joe's and worth the wait. read more

I was visiting New York and everyone told me Joe's Pizza was a must try, so I had to check it out. Overall, the pizza was good. Mine was a little cold, but still tasty. For the price and the size of the slice, it's definitely worth it. There was a medium-sized line when I went, but it moved very quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. One thing to note: this location was cash only. I'm not sure if that's the case at all locations, but it's definitely something to be prepared for.

Delicious classic NYC slice. Paired with a bottle of Coca Cola, can't get any better. Simple yet beautiful. Got regular slices and the fresh mozzarella slice. The crowded atmosphere made them burn the fresh mozzarella one in the oven a bit. Though it's only a slice so can't complain much. Right next to a park to eat outside and a bagel shop next door if you're extra hungry. It is super fast as well so you get food as soon as you know what you want. It is a cash only place so make sure you have cash ready in hand. read more

Joe's is Joe's. What I mean by that is it's exactly what you'd expect every single time - the old reliable. If you want a high quality, NY slice at an affordable price - go to Joe's. Joe's Pizza is actually very good (especially when attributing cost) it's flavorful and the consistency of the crust as almost always on-point. Don't expect to find a seat at this location as it's very busy, but you are given a good ol' paper plate to eat your slice which allows you to go outside the shop and eat it there. read more

We made sure to stop by on our vacation to try Joe's Pizza. It was very busy but the service was quick and we did not have to wait long. The actual restaurant is small so it did feel a bit crowded with the amount of people inside. We got a slice of fresh mozzarella, Sicilian square cheese, and cheese pizza. They were delicious! The slices are thin crust but huge. For some reason only the Sicilian and cheese pizza were warmed up. The place was cash only so make sure you have cash if you're planning to go. read more

It's legendary and with good reason! The pizza slices are big and delicious (great sauce and cheese combo) and because there's always a crowd, you're sure to get a hot slice because they're always making a new pie. I deducted one star because...there's always crowd! And there's almost no good seating. But that's a minor quibble for pizza this good and cheaply priced at that. It's a great place to swing by late night Friday/Sat after drinking with friends. read more

I popped into this pizza shop by accident one day. I was really hungry and not sure what I wanted to eat, but I decided to give this place a shot. I was really happy that I make that decision. The slice of pizza that I got was what I expect a slice of pizza to be here in NY. It had a nice amount of cheese without me having to ask for extra cheese. It had a nice sauce that didn't have too much salt in it. The crust was soft and not overly toasted. read more

My experience at this Joe's Pizza location was quite disappointing. Unlike the delicious and impeccable pizzas I've had at the Times Square branch, the pizza here gave me heartburn and the dough was disappointingly rubbery. It's unfortunate that the quality didn't meet my expectations. On a positive note, the ambiance and service were okay. However, for a better pizza experience, I would still recommend sticking to the Times Square location. read more

With such a great base, any flavor and toppings added to it can only elevate it. Some tried and true favorites are the angry nonna, funghi, and upside down slice. The Cacio e Pepe one was new slice for me this time and it didn't disappoint. Usually with cheese only bases, it tends to get super greasy and heavy but I didn't feel this way. The pepper cut through the variety of cheeses and it was delightful. Shout out to the staff as well, we were considering a sandwich but were hesitant to due to the vodka sauce (currently pregnant). The worker noticed and immediately let us know that their vodka sauce does not actually contain vodka. That was super thoughtful of her, and when I've got a bigger appetite next time, I will definitely be getting a sandwich!

Definitely a quality pizza
