Had a mushroom pepperoni slice, so good that I followed that up with a pepperoni w/crumbled bacon slice. Crust had just the right amount of crunch, cheese and toppings plentiful and fresh. This is the real deal folks - delicious NY pizza reasonably priced sans pretentious BS. Thank goodness a place like this still manages to survive in ever-gentrifying Chelsea! read more

Decent New York slice. Had the buffalo chicken and it was not too bad. A little dry but well flavored. The prices were really good and they accept credit card so that's a plus too. read more

First visit to a classic New York pizza joint. Got a slice of their margarita slice and another of their artichoke. Cheap, hot, delicious. Thin crust pizza is my new favorite kind of pizza. The crust itself was fluffy and hot, like little breadsticks. My boyfriend was still hungry so he got an order of their garlic knots, which were also sooo very good. On our way out, we saw someone stack one slice on top of another, made the infamous pizza fold, and went on to devour his masterpiece. Really shows the diversity of how people eat pizza. read more

Even okay pizza in New York is excellent by any other city's standards. J's isn't a standout here because there's so much terrific pizza in this city. Still, J's is pretty decent. Especially if you're battling through trifling housing issues and just need a quick, satisfying snack and a break from brokers, co-op boards and pushed back move-in dates (thank you J's for being there in my personal time of need.) read more

The best pizza and great staff very lucky to have in my neighborhood new desserts and other New menu items at it recently read more

This place is run by two very nice guys and it is probably the most popular pizza place in the neighborhood. People keep coming back so they must be doing something right. But I personally think the quality of the pizzas are poor or at best average. There is nothing unique or special about them, the ingredients are low grade white flower and old or canned veggies, and the ambiance is predictably dull. I don't blame them for opening a typical pizza place. But I wish it were more impressive. read more

I came here with a friend to get a slice of pizza. I really wanted white pizza, so I got a slice of the white pizza with no toppings. It was just okay, nothing extraordinary. The pizza looked a bit bland, maybe it wasn't the cheese I was expecting. I felt like the pizza lacked a bit of pizzaz (ha) and flavor. I would have wanted it to taste richer and/or saltier. Anyway, very classic NY pizza experience though, with the decor and the seating. read more

this local and long time standing pizzeria is a staple in chelsea. the food is always fresh and hot and delicious. they have the best prices in town and the people who work here are super nice and friendly. their pizza is really good too but so is their homemade hero's and hot/cold dishes. I have been coming here for years and never had a bad slice or meal here. i can honestly say to anyone who hasn't tried their food, you are losing out on some great grub. they also have daily specials posted inside if you wanted to check them out . again you can't beat their prices anywhere in the city. read more

Super delicious New York Style Pizza !!! Yummm-oh !!! Bumped into this pizzeria when existing the Rubin Museum. We decided to give it a try, and boy !!! were we happy !!! Our tastebuds did a very happy dance !! The staff and owner were extremely welcoming and courteous. Two thumbs way up !!! Thank you Js !!! read more

If you want to go all out with tons of great food while saving your wallet, J's is the corner place to hit up. For under $15, we had steaming hot spaghetti with a half dozen garlic knots, and two slices of perfectly toasted cheese, tomato, and basil. I've also heard it's the best place to celebrate your dog's bday which says something about the kindness of the workers. read more

All kinds of pizza pizza and a few pre made salads. Had a slice of the thin crust pepperoni. The meat, cheese, and dough was all on point and to my liking. They also have daily specials like pasta, lasagna, baked ziti, manicotti, stuffed shells, and chicken parigiana. read more

I was visiting New York during the infamous "Polar Vortex" and needed to fulfil a touristy wish by eating a big, greasy piece of NY-style pizza... I also really had to get out of the cold! J's was no-frills, pizza-eating, cold-escaping perfection! I chose the most ridiculously carb-loaded piece of pizza I could see (the baked ziti option) and chilled out for 30 mins in the restaurant eating it. Guilt-inducing? Uh... yes... but deliciousness was an awesome way to distract myself from that little fact. Total bliss!! read more

J's Pizza - Don't think about the calories... This is not the time or place - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I've been back about 30x since my last review. J's margarita pepperoni pie is simply the best. The dough - water, flour, oil and salt - you can taste the quality, is crisp and chewy. The ingredients are always fresh. They use just the right amount of cheese. Not stingy or overwhelming. The sauce has a nice tang to it without being sweet. It truly is a perfectly balanced pizza creation. The same people are there day in and day out. When I call for delivery one of the guys speaks rough, heavily accented English. I used to get a little frustrated, but now all I have to say is 'margarita pepperoni' and he recognizes me. Sometimes the owner will deliver himself. Really nice guys, great quality pizza. I understand now how they can afford a large corner lot surrounded by lots of fancy places. It's not because they are cheap or they own the building, they are just that good. read more

I am a hugeeee pizza snob... and I enjoyed this place very much. The pizza was fresh. The owner works here and is extremely nice. The is ample seating ..except very tight.. but then again this is NYC, most people grab a slice and go on about their day. My sister enjoyed this place very much. She is a huge thin crust lover and all things veggie lover. The prices aren't bad 2 ish for a good quality slice. They are very generous on toppings tooo ...which is a huge plus. read more

J's Pizza - My sister enjoying her cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I've ordered several times for delivery. No complaints about speed of delivery (excellent!) but the pizza itself is only fair. Pies come only lukewarm, requiring reheating. I do ask for a well-done crispy crust, but this is never honored. I generally order the small pizza (just right for one hearty appetite), and I'm afraid the crust seems not freshly made. Nor is it crispy or hot. Perhaps these crusts are bought in bulk rather than freshly made? This is just an OK pizza. Should be better considering how many other pizza shops are available in NYC. read more

J's Pizza you are truly terrific, I had a lovely experience here today. Superb location. J's Pizza has an excellent Lasagna, that was my very first time trying it here, and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The crew is definitely a highlight of this place because they are always quick, courteous, and provide service with a smile! Would 100% recommend! read more

It's amazing how some restaurants gain popularity as the quintessential NY pizza slice and others do not. What made Prince St or John's pizza better than this joint? No clue! But I'm going to tell you that I tried the three of them and this place is BY FAR the best pizza place in nyc! read more

I got violently ill after eating a slice of pepperoni from this place. It wasn't good to start out with. Crust too thick and undercooked. Greasy pepperoni...tasteless cheeze. Definitely will not be returning here anytime soon. Feel lucky to be alive after how sick I got...sanitation issues?? Maybe... read more

First slice from this place. Excellent! Had the vodka sauce slice and added sausage. Perfect slice!

I ordered twice over the past month from J's. It was my first meal that I didn't make at home since the stay at home detective. I ordered 2 slices of pizza, grama slice and plain cheese. Eggplant parm which came with a generous portion of pasta and separate a small greek salad. All were very good. the parm was a really good deal. the pieces were very large, generous with the parm, and side pasta that was included was 2 meals. a few days later I ordered pizza for my doorman. all were delivered hot and on time. the food is good and very reasonable. read more

IMPORTANT READ IF YOU'RE OF ANY MINORITY OR AN IMMIGRANT Let me start off by saying this isn't the first time I've had an issue with J's; I'd previously seen the owner in a full on verbal argument with a homeless/ down on his luck guy and thought it strange and passed comment that he should cut the guy some slack to which he screamed at me "fuck off mother Theresa". Mental to say the least and it sat so uncomfortably with me i've never eaten here; that is until tonight. Myself and two friends came here approx 1:45am in search of some food. We sat to eat along with approx 8 other diners. About 10mins later the guy running the place screamed at us all to shut up laughing. We all laughed and joked amongst ourselves how bizarre however all patrons remained light hearted and fun. That quickly turned sour. As he continued to scream at all customers to keep it down we decided to call it a night. As we were walking out the door he said, verbatim "fuck off back to Australia or England or wherever it is you bitches came from". Having lived in America for 4yrs none of us had ever heard or faced such discrimination. We were genuinely shocked. I don't believe hate should be given any fuel so I won't go on however should anyone want to contact me for a full breakdown of what was said please do. A special thanks to the lady and her husband who walked out in solidarity. A lot more of that support is going to be needed from us all over the next 4yrs. Rest assured you both always have mine. Thank you. It meant a lot. Please, and I beg of you, allow your dollar be your protest. Do not eat here and under no circumstances do not support this mindset. read more

I really want to give them a 4.5. The service was super friendly and pizza here is as good as any of the top spots in NY with none of the unnecessary hype. I had a solid slice of pepperoni and found it more satisfying than some of the other spots in the city with 1000+ reviews. read more

Love this place. My favorite pizza in the neighborhood. Delicious garlic knots too :) My husband and I order pies for pickup often - always delicious. Highly recommend!!! read more

One of my top pizza joints to go to in Manhattan. Been going there for years and will keep going. Friendly staff with great pizza. Their Pepperoni and Bacon slice is very fat and tasty (greasy but that seems normal for the types of meat) Their buffalo chicken slice is amazing and replaced the tomato sauce with actual buffalo sauce adding to the spiciness. The sicilians, especially the Fresh Mozzarella and Garlic one, are amazing. You can get a refill on fountain drinks any time with no charge so that's a plus. The prices are relatively reasonable as well. read more

I walked into this place at random, while exploring the Chelsea area, no frills straight up pizza joint. Very good pizza, I had the plain cheese and the fried eggplant, the sauce and cheese were very tasty. Crust was thin and crispy. I'd return again. read more

Pricey slices but if you're willing to put a little more to get a guaranteed fantastic slice, this is definitely your place! Got a nice little variety and the workers are super nice. Definitely worth a visit if you live in the area. read more

J's Pizza - All for me! - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

great pizza by the slice with a good crispy crust. Not much else to say. made throughout the day rather than just reheated. read more

My favorite! Best pizza in the world!! And lucky for me, I'm always around Js. The energy is positive and the food is scrumptious.

Hard to believe no one has yelped about this pizza parlor. New Yorkers love their pizza as evidenced by a pizza parlor on every other corner. Any New Yorker can attest that all pizza is not created equal. If I didn't believe before Js had made a believer out of me. I hesitated about going into Js because it was a bit empty inside and the last place I had pizza (on 6th around 17th St) was so bad I had to throw the slice away uneaten. Boy oh boy, I should have gone to Js then. I ordered the chicken and broccoli pizza because it looked fresh and inviting. Great choice! The chicken was tender and had a smoky taste to it. The broccoli was fresh and not overcooked. The crust -- ah man -- cracker crisp crust! Not soggy but crispy! Great balance of flavors and not greasy -- at all!!! Nice job Js! I think I'll pay you another visit. read more

Came in here for a quick bite and was really impressed with the food. Their plain slice has a rich flavor (seriously, the cheese tastes better than normal) and the slice of Grandma had an excellent, fluffy crust (and the Basil came through). Dessert was nice as well. I'd come back read more

Delicious pizza and some of the nicest most friendly service I've had in the city. In addition to the pizza, I also tried their eggplant parmigiana, which came with a generous portion of pasta and was better than I've had at nearby trendy restaurants that would have been twice the price. Of course in those places you're also paying for atmosphere, but if you're looking for classic Italian awesome take-out at a great price, I'd definitely recommend J's! read more

J's is the best around. Doughy, flavorful crust. Fresh, slightly sweet sauce. Cheese with real flavor. They always get my order perfect and fast, too. I have tried more pizza joints in NYC than I can count and this is a tie for the best alongside Prince Street, for those who like thin crust pizza. Just don't eat in - the ambience is dim and shoddy. I recommend getting margarita with pepperoni added. read more

worst place ever i ordered a chicken parmigiana i was totally disgusted. the chicken felt like i was chewing gum. i should of just went to 7-11 and got fake food that would've taste better then this trash. read more

I live two blocks away, so it's in my area. I love it. Truly, I do. It's your typical greasy pizza dive- you don't go for service, or decor, or any other stuff like that. You go for pizza. And they have it, in almost any kind you can imagine, at excellent prices. My favorite is the Baked Ziti pizza, which I know seems odd, but trust me when I say that it's a mini-religious experience in your mouth. The standard cheese pizza, the true test of a parlor's skill (easy to do, hard to do well), is also outstanding. Their calzones are absolutely wonderful, and the delivery service is prompt. My friend Daniel and I love ordering a whole pizza each and killing them as we watch DVDs. My girlfriend and I crave it at times when we're in school in Baltimore- indeed, when I was making the commute between NY and Baltimore last summer, I often brought her whole pizzas from Js. I can't speak for pizza joints in other people's areas, but this one has stolen my heart. I love you Js- if I were single and your pizza were given human form, I would get it pregnant and marry it. Don't expect chique, or cool- expect a pizza dive where the pizza is what matters (and is really all that matters) and I find it nigh-impossible to beleive that you will ever be disappointed. read more

When I see a grimy little pizza shop like this I just assume the pizza is going to be pretty good. J's is a perfect example of why one must not stereotype. The pizza here just isn't that good. Although J's had some really yummy toppings like eggplant and ricotta cheese, the pizza was way too doughy and, in my case, the toppings were not cooked properly (my eggplant had a weird raw taste - they should have roasted the eggplant a little before putting it on top of the pizza). Crappy pizza and it's not even that cheap. I've had much better pizzas at those dives in the East Village that are $2 for a slice and a coke. read more

Pizza was very good. Service was excellent. No tables were available and the employees set another one up for me to dine in. Price reasonable. read more

I think the large pie with meatballs was like $15.50. After walking in, I immediately regretted ordering the pie because they had about 15 slices out on the counter. After eating the first slice, I immediately stopped regretting ordering the pie. Solid pizza. Only complaint : The pizza is doughy. Which is a shame, because the cheese, sauce and meatballs were all pretty grand. Is it because of the actual dough? Is it just not cooked enough? Is it because it's too thick? I actually was bothered by these questions for a few seconds...then I kept eating. read more

Terrible service, and the woman working the cash register was extremely rude to me. Not sure what her problem is, but seems like she could care less if any customers come back Definitely won't be returning, considering the various options for pizza places in the neighborhood read more

Here is another favorite on my hood, love their pizza! The margarita with fresh basil is one of the highlights. I eat there, but I often order and they are fast, good and polite. Prices are good too. If you're in for a quick bite, check it out! read more
