    Vodka Rigatoni Slice
    Patrick Z.

    I got the Vodka Rigatoni slice and this was my first time actually having pasta on a pizza slice, but I love love love a vodka slice so I had to try this. I was worried it would be dry from baking it but it wasn't dry at all! This slice was really good and although couldve used a bit more crispiness on the bottom, the pasta was perfectly soft, the vodka sauce was rich, and it was tied together with excellent cheese and crust. I would buy a whole pie of this!

    So.... I have to admit.... we came here because Dave Poftnoy did, and gave it a high review...and it was NOT a disappointment! This was probably the best pizza I have ever had!! They have sooooo many different pizza slices to pick from (it was hard to pick just two to eat) and the garlic balls are delicious with the sauce it comes with, you get 3 balls for $2! (a steal!!) They have a cute little area to eat inside and one outside as well! This place is SOOO GOOD! you definitely have to head on in for a slice! You will not be disappointed, no matter what slice of pizza you get!! 10/10!!!!!

    First things first, this is a vegetarian pizza spot. Second, the mushroom/ricotta pizza slice was the best one to try! I'd come back just to have that again. I'd skip the green olive slice. Love the side of Frank's Red Hot to dip the pizza. Gave it an extra something. Service was pretty quick.

    This pizza is truly amazing. We had the eggplant, buffalo, pesto, vodka, and mvp. We are super picky about pizza so this place truly is pretty good. It is on the pricey side. We really enjoyed the blast of flavor from all the different slices. The staff was Pretty great too.

    On a cold day after leaving the MET, we were in search of some good 'ol New York style pizza. We found a couple of places and decided on Saba's. Located in Lexington ave between 81st and 82nd. It is a tiny place with barely any seating. They carry pizza with a lot of toppings. Mostly veggies which I love, however I was with my peeps and they wanted pepperoni. They were out, so we just got a plain cheese. It was a little expensive, and not all that tasty, but it was good. Service was OK, because the place is so small, we were privy to some drama going on, which while entertaining it's not ideal. All in all an OK place for a pit stop. Not of you are looking for amazing pizza.

    Vegetable Slice Pizza

    On the way to the museum we decided to get something fast. Quick pizza stop, seemed to have a lot of patrons stopping in and out. The pizza was ok, if you just want to have a slice to keep your hunger at bay. If you want quality this is not the spot! Speed in service and delivery yes!

    Vodka Slice, MVP Slice
    Grace P.

    Truly just so amazing. The MVP slice has been a TikTok trend and Saba's did a great job with it. I personally don't like the combination of the sauces but that was definitely more a me thing than a them thing- the sauces were all made perfectly. I am from NY but live in Denver now where there is no acceptable pizza. When I bit into the vodka slice, it felt like the world was whole again. The sauce is the perfect consistency and complements the cheese so well. Crust is just thick enough and was cooked for the perfect amount of time. Will be home again for Thanksgiving and will be back.

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.

I ordered myself the spinach salad, which was massive OMG and could definitely be split amongst my party. And I also ordered for all of us to share a large pepperoni and pineapple pizza with their insanely delicious garlic rolls. I could eat the garlic rolls by itself. That's how good it is.

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.

We started with two fabulous drinks: An Espresso Martini and their signature Limoncello Margarita. We shared the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad and it was fabulous.

Also, the different textures of the arugula, creaminess of the cheese, and the perfect crust will make it a memorable selection. For dessert, we shared the Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

RIGHT BY THE DOOR. 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!
