I finally made it here. I loved the pizza and the ambiance. There is a pizza counter and store in front for to go orders. I decided to get sat in the back at the bar. I just walked to the location from across the Williamsburg bridge. I ordered the cheese slice and the hot boi and a yuzu lemon drop. It was nice to see vegan Cesar salad and vegan garlic knots on the menu. The cheese slice was really good not too heavy on the cheese and not greasy. It was definitely low sodium. The hot boi was the star of the show. It contained beef pepperoni jalapeno and honey. It was very tasty. The bartender served me. She was nice and attentive. She filled my drink to the top. That was quite alright. I will definitely be back with friends. It felt like a comfortable hang out spot. The music playing in the background was really nice. I got to listen to drake's ice man project. read more

The pizza is 5-star, everything else is 1-star. This is the kind of place where each staff member seems higher on weed than the last. This is the kind of place where the most predominant form of communication by the staff is 'Gen Z stare'. Where you don't receive napkins unless you happen to be seated at the one or two tables that has a stack of them, and the jukebox of sorts is just staff members arguing about what songs to play, then compromising by only playing 1 minute or so of each, at entirely different volumes. So one moment, the audio is blasting, and the next moment, its a faint whisper. And it's all the worst and most annoying hip-hop. The kind of stuff no one is clamoring to hear, as opposed to stuff that might please various people. It's hard to recommend this place. The vegan pizza is really tasty. Love everything about it, even down to the type of mushrooms used as a topping. But, I don't trust that anyone here is handling or doing anything properly. They literally do not care, to your face, so how many ways are they not caring behind the scenes where we can't see? Another reviewer mentioned a staff member touching garbage, then touching food. This is what I'm talking about. That's 'the vibe' here. So, while it tasted good, I just dont feel comfortable eating here again. My advice: fire everyone, run a tight ship, and you'll become the best pizza place in NYC. read more

My family and I unfortunately had a terrible experience at Scarr's Pizza. The service felt disorganised and unhelpful from start to finish. The cheese and meatball calzones were overwhelmingly cheesy and completely lacked flavour, making them feel heavy rather than enjoyable. We also ordered chicken and eggplant parm, which was served without any accompanying sides, making the dish feel incomplete and not worth the cost. For what we paid, the value simply wasn't there. We were told that we could not order a slice from our table or even eat a slice at the table because "that's the policy." It was baffling to be paying customers spending in excess of $150 and still being asked to join the takeout line just to get a single slice of pizza. Overall, the experience was frustrating and not what we expected from a well-known pizza spot. Between the poor service, rigid policies, and underwhelming food, we left feeling disappointed and unlikely to return. read more

*UPDATE* after posting this, i'm reading other reviews and a common theme is rude staff, LOL. #fire chubby guy host scheduled 7/17/26 opening staff . management do a house cleaning on the FOH staff bc they are ruining your business! the pizza was bomb-no notes there. We came right when they open Friday, waited patiently outside, to let the staff do their thing with set up. upon entering not 1 single smile or welcoming vibes that should of been my sign to leave . the host sat us as a walk in, we didn't have reservations but i told them we did not have to sit together in the same space, since i totally understand a walk in for 12ppl is a lot to accommodate. anyways he squeezed all 12 of us in 2 booths that I would say would fit 10 ppl comfortably. we felt like we were bothering them when ironically there's plenty of resturants nearby we could give our business to. but we were excited to try Scarr's and been waiting outside since 11am. the part that made the lunch took a negative turn was when the rude host chubby guy told me to "sit where he told us" i responded well we don't all fit there, did you have reservations coming in?" bc if yes then i totally understand, (I work in hospitality myself for over 15yrs). he said no, so why even say that?! so stupid because we would of ordered way more food if it wasn't for his comment. and the gag was after we left not a single person was seated back there. lol i'll never return here and make sure i'll tell all my homies, no thanks to horrible service, lil piece of advice to staff there: don't be in hospitality if you don't like ppl lol having customers dine at your establishment is what's going to pay your bills, so remember that when you decide to come into work with a shitty attitude. good food isn't enough to get ppl to return these days . i'll be damn to support a business with rude staff!! read more

Tho I really enjoyed the ambience of this place and wanted to like it. Everything felt normal to me. The pizza wasn't even warm when reheated and the under carry was not there. Tasted like your average hot honey jalapeño slice you can get at a normal cornerstore. read more

Of course I had to stop by Scarr's pizza. We ordered three slices of pizza, forgot to take the pictures because we just started eating and the pizza was delicious. Crunchy, thin dough, cheesy, and an amazing combination of toppings. We got the spicy slice, regular pepperoni, and a Caprese, all the slices were good. The Knicks championship game was on, so there was no way I was sitting down to eat here. I grabbed my stuff and ate it somewhere else. It's a typical New York neighborhood. It's a nice experience, I would say... read more

The crust of the pizza is amazing; and I normally don't like crusts. The hot boi honey didn't taste as hot or honey as I would've thought. The Caesar salad was a surprising standout--the cash dressing was amazing. The takeout line was quite short, but we were also able to walk in pretty easily with a group of 7 Sunday at 5:30 for seating. read more

This has been on my bucketlist for a really long time but every time I pass by, its a super long line. Until my friends and I got miraculously lucky on a saturday night, was at a bar across the street and we noticed ZERO line. So grabbed some slices and chowed down on the street. Its definitely a good slice of pizza, but I feel pizza in general is so good in nyc that our average is someone else's best. I don't have a good meter or my tastebuds aren't refined enough to be able to tell apart the best pizzas in nyc. They all taste the same to me.

Food: I was excited to try this pizza place which is pretty well-known, but I was disappointed and underwhelmed by the food here. We tried the chicken parmesan appetizer and three different pizzas - original, hotboi (hot honey, pepperoni, and jalapenos), and the vodka pesto. Everything was just okay and nothing special. Out of the three pies, I liked the hotboi the best, but overall, we didn't find this pizza to be amazing and won't be returning. There are much better pizza places around NYC than this one. Service: Service was excellent. There was only one server in the entire dining area which was very busy. Given that she was the only one working all of the tables, she was very attentive and efficient. Ambiance: The place isn't big, but there are a good number of tables that can accommodate both small and large groups. They also have two arcade games (for free) in the dining area that you can play. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

Did a pizza tour and this was one of the stops. This slice was delicious and the guy who was working the bar seating was so kind and attentive. The bottom crust of this wasn't as crispy as I would've liked but the flavor was there. Perfect amount of cheese. The best part of all is that their pesto is nut free! Lots of tables and seating inside. On the day I went there was a chase event for the finals so there's was a little line outside. read more

New location. Still always a line. I continue to be baffled as to why. Don't get me wrong, the pizza slices here aren't horrible, but they're just not all that special. I think the best part of their slice is the thin crust that's has a nice char. However, though somewhat crispy, the dough lacks flavor and has that cardboard-ish texture. The sauce is one of the worst part of the slice because I think they use tomato paste, which creates that sweetness that I don't want on my pizza. I could be wrong about why it's sweet, maybe they just add sugar, but it's overdone regardless for me. The cheese is fine, but I wish they didn't reheat the slice and char it to the point where it's firm. The fresh pie on the counter looks pretty good, but my slice was dry and felt like what you can get at Costco. Hate to say it, this is a head scratcher. Never understood the hype from decades ago, and I still can't figure it out today. read more

This had been near the top of my NYC pizza list. While it was great, my expectations may have been unrealistic. The hotboi was very tasty but messy -- definitely requires two hands to get started, but after that it was smooth sailing. Anytime hot honey, jalapeños, and pepperoni are having a get together, I'm in!!! I did have a margherita slice too but it's impossible to say much about it after the lingering taste of hotboi on my palette. Service was good. Overall, while it wasn't my favorite NYC slice, it was still good and a very worthwhile visit. read more

We wanted to go to Bar Belly originally but it was standing room only and then saw that this was nearby, and it ended up being the perfect Friday night bar The indoor seating is so nice and they have drinks!

Visited Scarr's Pizza while in Manhattan. The atmosphere was classic NYC slice shop -- busy and energetic, and the service was good, with a slight wait. When you're in Manhattan, you better have a food plan, good runners, and an appetite. We popped in for a few slices -- the pizza was good, but not quite through-the-roof memorable. Overall, a good experience and worth stopping in if you're in the area, but not a must-go destination. Saluti. read more

We were hanging out in LES and walked past this spot and immediately recognized it as one of the pizza places I wanted to try, so of course we walked right in. There was no line at all. I went in February on a Tuesday around 1PM, even during lunch time. They asked if we wanted "here or to-go." Me and my husband misunderstood at first and thought it meant we could sit inside with slices, but apparently if you're just getting slices it has to be to-go. I didn't really see anyone sitting down with slices anyway -- mostly whole pies. We got the Beef Pepperoni, just a classic choice. I liked the dough a lot. It was chewy with a little firmness that kind of reminded me of sourdough bread. Overall, it was a decent slice -- not mind blowing, but not bad at all. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area. read more

Waited in a line for a bit but the quality was definitely above average. I was solo so I wanted one that was fresh so I got the pepperoni as it was right out of the oven but the cheese Sicilian and vodka pesto were on my mind as well. Maybe next time? You are able to sit down/dine in but it's more of a grab and go vibe. It is hot this summer so it was quite uncomfortable with the heat so I think that should be fixed or just go when it's a bit cooler. read more

Scarr's Pizza was an awesome spot, and I only wish I had more time to fully enjoy it. The place has a classic, old-school pizzeria feel, with arcade games and even a kid's birthday party going on while I was there, which all added to a really cozy, comfortable vibe. The food completely delivered. The vegan garlic knots were large, crispy, and fresh out of the oven with great garlic flavor. The standout was the 12" Hotboi pizza, which was perfectly balanced with spicy pepperoni, jalapeños, and Mike's Extra Hot Honey. It was so good and I regret that I didn't have time to finish it or take leftovers. I'll absolutely be back. read more

This is a review just for take out only. The staff is super helpful and allows you to call in advance (but the wait is still like 45 mins on a regular week night). Make sure they have you repeat the order because they got my size wrong but I took it anyways. We got the spicy one and it was amazing. Perfect flavor and crunch with a whole container of Mike's hot honey. Will definitely be back! read more

This was my first pizza ever in New York and like wow, amazing- i never knew pizza could be so good. Perfect experience. Its not fancy, kind of has that raw edge hole in the wall vibe where the pizza is hot, stuff covered in grease, and hip hop blasting throughout. The place that'll be there for you with its neon lights late night in the middle of nowhere. The seating inside is tight and pretty much just walk in. You can use card and order with the person in a square space, they have laminated menus. We ate the pizza out in the cold and it was such a vibe. Okay but the pizza, good crust, basic flavors. We each got a different flavor and I got to sample. The pepperoni jalapeno- spicy sweet with the hot honey, good mix. The pepperoni- i thought it wouldnt be different but the pepperoni had this smokiness. The mushroom pizza- perfect mushroom flavor. Good cheese, none of that soggy pull off the crust mess, crispy bottom crust, solid pizza topping flavors. Happy to have had this as my first ever NY pizza and now I get the hype. read more

((4.5 stars)) Scarr's is still thriving on Orchard Street, slinging pizza pies and slices on a busy block of the Lower East Side. it's in a much larger space than the original smaller location which was across the street. while there are lines on weekends and during traditional meal times, the waits and the lines themselves are shorter. mid-afternoon or late afternoon is a good time to go imo. i still wouldn't wait on a line for longer than a few minutes. serving pizza since 2016, Scarr's hasn't missed a beat in terms of its "The Original" slice (aka a plain cheese slice): DinNapoli Tomato Sauce, Caputo Bros. Mozzarella Cheese on a crust made from organic flour stone-milled in-house. the all natural / organic approach to the plain pizza slice is evident from top-to-bottom--flavorful sauce, rich creamy mozzarella, and an airy chewy thin crust. satisfying slice. will it change your life? nope. is it worth hours on line? nah. is it a good artisanal version of an New York slice? YES. set your expectations accordinglyand you will rarely be very disappointed. well that and make good food choices. most times, i just order to-go OR savage a slice outside like most Scarr's patrons. however the dining area is cool if you have time or want a traditional table service meals. btw, you can't order a pie or slice and sit down here...you have to do the whole table service thing and order at the table which makes sense. the interior vibe is still very much is a classy retro-ish pizzeria from decades long past. the service is more efficient now and you get your pizza in a more reasonable time than before. overall, Scarr's is now one of many reasons why Orchard Street has been revitalized and it shows. read more

So, the crust is good. Great even. It's light and airy. It's bread without punching you in the face. Subtle. The sauce is simple. Couldn't really pick up on it too much tasted fresh, but could use some more. The cheese was fine. They do a vodka sauce, thin crust with a pesto drizzle that was fine. I had a slice of cheese and had a slice of pepperoni. Both were good. But here's where it goes off the rails Not a lot of craftsmanship in the pies. cheese didn't get all the way to the end the pizzas, they were Hella burnt on the bottom. You didn't necessarily taste that on every bite but you couldn't ignore it. That place is more of a vibe. It's their second shop and it's in a hipsterish neighborhood and the staff reflects that. Almost everyone there seemed disinterested in working. Not rude, but no hospitality. Also, it was a Health Dept. nightmare. Absolutely disgusting practices by every employee when they weren't on their phone. No cleaning going on barely any service. Guys were eating in the pizza station with shirts that didn't cover their armpits. Touching their face because it was hot out every two seconds. The Pizza station was a disaster. Pizza sauce that is supposed to be cold outside of the pizza prep. I know you're not gonna get someone sick if you use it up. But still, bad practice. Dough blowing up out of those metal tins. Guys grabbing dirty dishes by the rims of the glass. But the music was all hip-hop, and the crowd was young and hip. Which was fun. We sat at a bar where they made full bar drinks cocktails, they even let my son sit there. I did feel like I was eating at a hip cool place and the flavor was good but a total shit show. It took :45 for four slices dine in. That would have been nice to know. In review. No hospitality. No cleanliness. No follow up. Definitely no craftsmanship or standards. Dough was excellent. Overall flavors good, but not anything special. Overall 7.8 read more

I thought this place kind of an average pizza joint. Place tried to be trendy and hip for the younger demographics with the rap video and rap music playing in the background. There were also two arcade machines you can play with. I will say the place was spacious at least. Service could be better. The waiter wasn't the most attentive and when I was finished; I had to ask another waiter to come and get me the bill. All of the food wasn't brought out at the same time either since my friend had to wait on his Margherita slice, while we already the rest of our order. I tried two different slices - the Hotboi and the Margherita. The Hotboi was unique because I never had honey on a pizza before, but it actually works out. There was no overpowering sweetness. Also if you're afraid of the pizza being too spicy from the jalapeños, don't be as they're not too spicy. Hotboi was definitely a highlight compared to the Margherita, which was mediocre. I think I had like one basil leaf on my slice and it felt like the cheese was lacking. It's not a bad place for a pizza, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to return to it. read more

Another solid stop on our NYC pizza crawl. We got a slice of the Vodka pesto and pepperoni. The Vodka pesto was super popular and ran out a little before we got to order, but they had one firing up in the oven so we could order and wait. We snacked on the pepperoni while we waited for the slice, which helped pass the time. The vodka pesto was my favorite of the two, but the pepperoni was still good. Line was fairly long and moved a bit slower than most of the other places we went. There was no room to eat inside or out if you were ordering by the slice, but they did have a whole section for indoor dining if you were ordering a whole pie for there. read more

I think this is one of the most underrated slices in the city. It is on the pricier side. It's not awful, but the slices are packed with flavor, and the crust has a great bite to it. I don't have too much to say other than it is just an overall great slice. The atmosphere inside gives classic New York pizzeria vibes, and they have a seating area in the back for dine-in eating. The line can get long, but service does move fast. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a great slice! read more

We shared individual slices of Vodka Pesto, Cremini Mushroom, and DJ Clark Kent Sicilian. Happy with the crispy and chewiness of most of the slices. Happy with the flavor and portion of toppings. One Sicilian slice, we're not sure, was lukewarm and soggy. Probably a one-off. Ordering was understandably, a little chaotic because it's such a narrow space for both the many many customers and the employees working the oven right behind the counter. I recommend ordering ahead if possible. read more

Amazing pizza place but didn't love the deep dish pizzas with the thicker bread. Even though I got my typical favorite toppings with pepperoni and mushrooms, it just didn't hit the spot. The thin breaded pizzas were amazing. Highly recommend the jalepeno pepperoni. Literally finished my slice before I walked out the door. read more

Pretty decent NY pizza - ordered a cheese pie, a pepperoni and a hot boi to have between 4 adults and 3 kids. Also ordered a few sides to start the meal - meatballs and chicken parm. All very good and came fresh from the oven. 3 large pies were more than enough for all of us. We took back almost a pie back as leftovers. If I were to do it again I would just go straight for the pies - no mucking around with the sides. Service was OK - drinks took awhile but otherwise it was fine. There are two arcade machines available for use - good for kids whilst waiting for pizza. read more

Out of the 10 or so places I went for slices in NY, this is the only one that sort of underdelivered. My rating here is a 3.7, so I rounded up. Since yelp is now on a .1 system, I wish we could also rate on a .1 system. Something to think about.... Anyway, Cheese slice is $4.50, this is a fair price, but minus a little bit b/c my slice had a huge bubble on it and therefore, no cheese where the bubble was... I ordered a sicilian Pep slice, but they were out at the moment with none cooking, they had a regular pep slice, so I went with that, but $6.50 (extra $2 for 9 small pieces of pep) doesn't seem like good value. I was on vacation, so I went for it. If I lived here, I'm not sure this would be a part of my regular rotation. Out of the 9-10 places I tried, this was probably at the bottom of my list, but I tried to go to all of the top places. Check out my other reviews if you want to see the other places.

How have I not reviewed Scarr's?! So you just know by all the reviews that this pizza is pretty prime. The Grandma slice is, by far, my favorite but they do run out of it. Other than that, you can't go wrong with a plain. The service is quick and their new location has a bit more seating, but inside and out. If you can, go on a weekday for less of a line. Otherwise, it's still worth the wait. read more

Made a reservation thru OpenTable with our Chase card. They're currently doing a promo in which you pay with a Chase card and get 10% off. Anyway, the vodka pesto and the meatballs were my favorite. Even the cheese slice easily blows away Joe's-- it's saucier, cheesier with a good crunchy crust. The meatballs were soft and tasted excellent with the cheese! Hotboi was good but I couldn't eat more than one slice of it because it was so heavy and oily. I liked the vibes of the place-- feels like a sports bar. read more

Try the hot boi - it's salty, a little spicy and a little sweet, great combo. The tomato sauce on the margherita is a bit lacking but lots of cheese so if you like a cheesier slice, that could be for you.
