Yum! I had such a great lunch here during work. Super fast. Perfect temperature where it didn't burn the top of my mouth. The Margherita and white are both such a great pair. The Margherita is sweet. The crust was extra soft. The white had a little rubbery cheese but overall crispy and yum. I love this place! read more

Norm's Pizza - Margherita and white - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Roughly two years ago, I went to the Downtown Brooklyn location while I was serving on jury duty. If I recall, it was not a bad experience. Seeing there is one in Lower Manhattan near my office, I decided to give this one a go for lunch today. In all, the slices are solid, but definitely nothing to go crazy about. Overall the theme of the slices is one thing, salty. A good pizza slice should be salty, but not too salty. Too much salt ruins the slice and makes for a more cumbersome experience to the whole thing. The plain slice is solid, nice cheese and sauce, and the sourdough crust adds a nice touch. A little acidity to the sauce, but nothing screaming. The pepperoni slice is just okay. Most of the pepperoni is well overcooked, and it is quite a salty slice. It could be hard to recover from this slice if you do not order a white slice... Which is what I did. The white slice is solid but nothing notable. A slight garlic touch, a slight lemon flavor, and a beautiful undercarriage. The undercarriage is what saves the slice. Otherwise heartburn will set in quickly. Downtown, particularly TriBeca, FiDi, and Civic Center, all lack a viable pizza option. This one is solid, but Jay's and Joe's supersede this Norm's by a country mile. Overall pizza rating: 3.3/5 read more

TL;DR- A decent slice of pizza for the price. While I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, it's perfectly acceptable. The rating is for the area, as FiDi is generally pretty terrible with options, including pizza outside of Neapolitan pies. This location is one of several from this NYC pizza chain. I've been to another one near Union Square, and my thoughts are similar for both places. The plain slice costs $3.50, has a decent amount of cheese, and a fresh sauce which is bright, but not super notable. I did find the overall flavor a bit salty, possibly due to the cheese blend or the sauce. The crust is thin and slightly crispier than what I've experienced elsewhere, but not so crispy that it tastes burnt, as I've encountered at some other places like Cello's. At $3.50, it's a solid option, definitely better than many other chains like La Pizza Italia or the subpar Little Italy Pizza/Ray's. Personally, I would choose to walk over to the much busier Joe's instead, but this place does the job just fine, and it's cheaper, though, as noted by others, thinner than Joe's, so it's a bit less filling. It's good for a quick bite. read more

I enjoyed Norm's pizza. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but I think if you enjoy quality, you'll certainly like it. The slices came relatively fast out of the oven when I got individual ones. The service was extremely nice. The people there are very knowledgeable about what they're serving -- when I asked questions about whether the pepperoni was made out of turkey or some other beef product, they knew their stuff. The ambiance is pretty chill, even during the busy downtown area. I don't recommend coming in person. read more

THE SALT. This pizza was too salty to really enjoy. The sicilian was well constructed, but again, too salty. Pepperoni pizza by default is a bit saltier than other slices, but this felt like a salt lick. The margherita pizza was also very salty. I felt parched after finishing both slices. For the price, I expect better. I was born and raised in NYC. I am picky about my pizza. This one just wasn't it for me. read more

I've walked past Norm's Pizza countless times on my way to Joe's, but today I finally stopped in--and I'm glad I did. The regular slice is excellent and easily holds its own against many of my favorite NYC pies. While Norm's comes from the team behind Upside Pizza and 2 Bros., this place operates on a completely different level. The pizza is made with a 100% naturally leavened sourdough starter and baked in high-temperature electric ovens from Sweden, producing a crust that's thin, crisp, and deeply satisfying. No gimmicks, no unnecessary flourishes--just straightforward, no-frills New York pizza done right. Located in the same building as Century 21, the shop itself has a nostalgic feel. The mustard-yellow tones, wood-grain Formica, and retro fluorescent menu boards immediately brought to mind the original Papaya King on 86th Street. I also noticed several customers ordering the vodka slice, which is now firmly on my list for the next visit. Norm's is a welcome addition to the neighborhood and well worth a stop--even if you're already loyal to another slice joint. read more

Norm's is a better slice than most pizzeria down in the Fidi area. I've tried a couple of places around and for paying for the same price, Norm's so far is the best by far. The one complaint I have for this place is how crowded this place gets with no extra spacing indoor. It makes the dining experience in the cold extra gruesome. The location is quite hard to spot if you are coming from the Freedom tower side. But it's really just located next to an arcade and Century 21 up the small hill. The service is very fast, which is ideal. But coupled with a few tourist can make this place very unbearable. :( Overall, if you like a very crunchy and burned slice, this is a good pizzeria in the neighborhood. read more

Have been coming here since high school. The store changed a lot and got renovated into a nicer, modern pizza joint. Always came here for a cheese slice and garlic knots and the garlic knots were the bomb! I always use the high tables where you got to stand. The place is very clean and has a nice, whirt vibe. Not a loud environment. There are cheese and chili flakes condiments for you to put on your pizza. Love the chili flakes. Since I'm no longer near this pizza joint and in high school, I barely come here. This time I came back to getting a cheese slice and a sausage slice. Few places carry sausage slices and I was excited to try this slice out. The sausages were really good. read more

Our favorite pizza of our trip to NYC. Great location. Very close to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. We had worked up an appetite after being at the memorial and museum for several hours. We had tried Joe's earlier in our trip and this was wayyyyy better. There was no line and the pizza was so much better. This pizza hit the spot. I got a slice of the white pie and my husband got a slice of pepperoni and a slice of cheese. We both loved these slices. The white pie was lemony and cheesy. It tasted really fresh. My husband loved the pepperoni and the cheese. There's like 1 table to stand out outside, which was nice so we didn't have to walk and find somewhere to sit and eat. read more

Norm's Pizza was one of our BEST impromptu stops and a gem of a discovery. This is what I love about NYC, you gotta walk around and have some availability to be spontaneous especially with meals. We got off the subway at City Hall to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. I remember having a delicious slice of pizza a decade ago but couldn't locate the place nor remember the name so we walked aimlessly in search of a pizza joint. One wouldn't think it would be such a challenge.... Fast forward to us stumbling upon Norm's Pizza which is actually closer to the Fulton Street Station. We learned this a couple of days later when visiting the 911 memorial. The pizza here is OUT OF THIS WORLD! The garlic knots were also incredible. They offer other items but we took advantage of the slices for a quick bite to hold us over until dinner. I had the white pizza which featured ricotta and the perfect amount of lemon zest, one friend enjoyed a cheese slice, and the other had pepperoni. All of us were smitten. There is only a humble bar area and two high tops for eating in. Bottled beverages are available for purchase. The prices are extremely user friendly and the service is outstanding. We not only enjoyed our pizza, but enjoyed learning about members of the team. We visited a second time when we realized it was near the 911 memorial and mirrored our original order. Once again, we were beyond smitten and I've already recommended this place to friends who're traveling to NYC for the holidays. Keep up the great work because I look forward to another slice of life next visit. read more

Norm's vs Joe's has been debated here for a while. I recently visited NYC for a few days and had the chance to taste both multiple times. I grew up on NYC pizza (in Manhattan) and have been eating it for close to 60 years, so here is an informed view. Norm's is a good slice. People have commented on it being salty and it hits the pallet like that for the first bite or two. It is thinner (less substantial) than Joe's (probably the biggest difference) and that is why it costs $1 less (you get what you pay for) . But you won't wait 20-30 minutes for a slice (an insult to any true New Yorker). Near closing time I had a slice that was floppy and had poor texture, but that was the last pie of the day so kind of expected. Joe's is more substantial (more of everything) , and has that classic NY crust and mouthfeel. If time is not a concern go with Joe's . If you are hungry and want a good slide without the wait try Norm's read more

nice retro looking pizza joint located a block away from the World Trade Center! A touristy area of course but this spot definitely hits the mark. Small / simple menu & fair prices. We had the pepperoni & vodka slice. The pepperoni slice was great but the vodka slice tasted and felt like it was sitting out for a while before being mildly heated up. read more

Super no frills pizza spot with solid slices. Ordered the margherita & was pleasantly surprised by the thin and crispy crust. I only wish there was a little more sauce on the slice. Garlic knots were decent; not the best, but will satisfy a craving. A slice & 5 garlic knots came out to $9.50z read more

Of all the pizza I had during my week in New York, this place was hands down my favorite. It's a little hole-in-the-wall spot with a few stand-up tables -- nothing fancy, just great pizza. I had a cheese slice and a margherita slice, and both were excellent. The crust and sauce were perfect -- simple, flavorful, and exactly what New York pizza should be. No frills, just slices and sodas -- quick bite, totally worth it. I tried a different pizza spot every day, and this was the only one where I went back for a second slice. Even Bleecker Street Pizza was overrated compared to this place. So do yourself a favor, find Norm's, and thank me later! read more

While downtown, came upon Norm's Pizza and decided to try out their classic $3 slice. It was pretty, pretty good! While some might prefer Joe's Pizza's Fulton Street location, what I prefer about Norm's great slice was it cost a buck less and I didn't have to wait 10 minutes just to order, especially behind people confused as to which spot to order despite signage and which spot to pick up! Next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'll be back at Norm's and recommend you check it out! read more

Honestly, don't stand in line for Joe's down the street when you can get a classic, tasty NY slice from Norm's. They use the small, greasy pepperonis - so you know it's going to be good. A classic cheese showcases the tasty dough and simple ingredients! A great stop for a quick slice. read more

Wanted to try a different pizza joint in FiDi and saw that Norms recently opened, so I figured I'd give it a go. My pizza partner and I were so glad we decided to stop by norms to grab a few slices to go. It's got a classic slice joint feel and the service was friendly and quick, however there is some but limited seating (so great for grabbing a few slices to go) We tried the vodka slice, avant garlic (a spinach and garlic forward veggie slice), and the hatch slice (cheese slice with pepperoni, sausage, and hatch chilis). All three were delicious (the avant garlic is very spinach forward tho), but what really stood out was the crust. It was some of the best I've had in a loooooong time! Also prices were fairly reasonable too. read more

On June 23, 2026, between 1:30pm and 2pm, my wife and I stopped by this pizza joint, Norm's Pizza on Cortlandt close to Broadway. I was a bit hungry. We ordered one slice of white pizza ($5.50). A guy placed the slice into oven. I could find enough ($5.50) small bills thus I handed the cashier a $50 bill. While I was a bit distracted by looking around to see unoccupied table, the cashier handed me the change with all bills folded then 2 quarters separately. Recalled my wife was talking to me at the time, I casually put the change into my pocket. After finishing the pizza which was pretty good, we walked to and onto Brooklyn Bridge then went to Chinatown. We stopped by a Chinese restaurant and ordered half duck to go. It was $18. I pulled out the folded bills, the change handed to me by Norm's Pizza on Cortlandt, intended to pay for our order. After opening up the folded bills, I was very upset to see that the folded change contained one (1) $10 bill and six (6) one-dollar bills. No receipt was included. I haven't been scammed like this for very long time, say 30+ years. Guess the cashier in Norm's Pizza on Cortlandt St was an expert by using a perfect moment to get me. Well, hope people to stay more alert to avoid being scammed or catch the scammer on site. read more

Oooh, this was a tasty slice! Popped in after a visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, as it's not too far away. Was just wandering around and oh, hello pizza! Why not grab a fresh slice?! I dabbed some of the grease off with some napkins, but otherwise, it was very tasty. There was something about the crust that I really liked - good flavor and didn't just seem like same ole' bread. Good crispiness, too. Sauce wasn't overpowering, so I appreciated that. Of the four pizza places I've hit up on this visit, this ranks as my second favourite. Highly recommend! 2024: 51/100 read more

Norms is one of my favorite pizza joints in the area. They've got a great vodka slice (I'd categorize it as my favorite vodka slice in FiDi) and their Hatch Supreme (pepperoni, sausage, hatch chilies) slice is awesome too. So good, that we got a whole pie recently! Plain slices are good, and reasonably priced for the area. I really like the crust they use for their pizzas too- it's a bit chewy and tastes a bit like sourdough. read more

Absolutely the saltiest not good pizza in my area. I had a meeting so I ran out for something quick and the first thing I saw was this.

As a NYC native returning on vacation , Norm's pizza is the 'real deal'. Close to WTC

Small, clean, no-frills environment, much better than the previous Majestic, and the toppings are fresh and creative. I took off a star because the pizza is SALTY. And not just one specific slice; the margherita, plain, vodka, and mushroom slices are all very salty, and a few others have said this to me as well. Once they amend that, this place will be perfect. Edit: 4/9/24 I swear they fixed it. None of their slices are salty anymore! I'm so happy to finally have a place to grab a quick lunch from. read more
