Stopped by for a quick bite. We ended up getting a slice of a margarita and a slice of the vodka pizza and an orange soda! Overall wasn't too bad about $18 for everything and they were able to warm up our pizza and serve it to us fresh pretty quickly. Overall, super tasty and was our first slice of the trip. We dined in and the interior was cute, and staff was friendly. read more

I tried Uncle Paul's Pizza again and am happy to report that my opinion has changed. While there's no shortage of pizzerias in Manhattan, this one is pretty close to my office and has become a go-to whenever we want pizza. Since my initial review, I have been back a few times with colleagues and have reassessed the goods. The location of Uncle Paul's is ideal for a number of office buildings in Midtown East. The interior is spacious with a large back counter where you order/pick up and a decent amount of seating. While pizza is the main star of the menu, they have some traditional Italian dishes, as well as salads and apps. For this latest venture, we picked up a few items for a work celebration - namely a salad with grilled chicken, grandma pie, and a regular pie with half plain cheese half pepperoni. Everything was really good - the pies had a classic NY thin crust with flavorful sauce and a good balance of toppings. The salad was surprisingly good with a generous amount of grilled chicken. Overall, I think I was a little too quick to judge Uncle Paul's at first visit - honestly, it's a solid NY slice and I wouldn't hesitate to return if I'm looking for pizza in the area again. read more

I was craving some classic New York pizza, and stopped in here because it was the best-rated shop on my route. It ended up being a great choice! I quickly ordered a classic white slice. After I ordered, I wished I had taken the time to look at all of the different options! I noticed they have an alla vodka slice, which sounds incredible! The white slice was delicious and a pretty good size, and it was nice and quiet inside. The perfect little break from walking around busy NYC. read more

This classic pie shop is a great place for a slice or two. They have plenty of slice options, though we stuck with the classics. The pizza was absolutely delicious. It's fairly busy and even mid-afternoon almost all of the tables were occupied, plus they seem to do a brisk takeout business. I'd be happy to return here anytime. read more

Excellent New York Pizza! Can purchase by the slice or order a whole pie. We tried the lasagna , pepperoni, pepperoni & mushroom, and pepperoni and sausage . All were delish. They also have other goodies such as canoli's and other desserts but we didn't get to try this time around. The service was your typical order and go. The place is quaint...a few tables to enjoy your pizza and run. Would definitely come back! read more

Michael Scott would grab a Sbarro for a NY slice while in the city. We decided to go a little more authentic. This was just a very good small pizza joint. You walk in and all the pizzas are hot and ready, you just tell them what you're feeling. I got the pepperoni along with a NY cheesecake. It really hit the spot after all those blocks we walked. Service was fast, ambiance was just what you want out of a small pizza joint. read more

My wife and I came here with two of our friends and my wife and I agreed it was the best pizza outside of Chicago. We decided ahead of time to come here since we spent the day nearby at MoMA and my belated Great Uncle that lived nearby in New Jersey's name is Paul and it is also the name of our brother in law from New York. There is plenty of seating and the decor is very cool. The prices were very affordable and the service was fast and friendly. We would love to come back but would also love to try some of the other New York pizza places as it is a staple food there. read more

Just down the street and around the corner from Times Square, we happened upon a little pizza restaurant. It had great reviews so we decided to stop by. We've had our share of authentic Italian style pizza from all over the world, but the pizza we got from Paul's raised our eyebrows. It's not a big place, no place in New York is, but the pizza was amazing. We also had fettuccine Alfredo and the sauce was flavorful and creamy just how I like it. I know exactly where to go the next time I'm in New York and I'm in the mood for some delicious Italian food. Highly recommend this place. read more

One of the beauties about New York is its local pizza. I took my sister here on her first trip to New York and we enjoyed the pizza. There was a long line when we walked in but the staff was quick and efficient with getting everyone's orders out. The Pizza had the right amount of cheese and sauce where the sauce wasn't dripping out of the pizza and the cheese had a perfect cheese pull when it came out of the oven. Another thing to note was that there wasn't much excess oil from the cheese which prevents messes too. Overall, if you're looking for the taste of New York, definitely check out Uncle Paul's! read more

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.

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

Carbonara pizza! Be sure to break the egg yolk in the center for some crust dipping goodness.

The bar is a great bonus--well-stocked and a great place to hang while you wait for a table. The staff really stood out to me--super friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. And the pizza? Absolutely amazing. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. If you're looking for a go-to pizzeria with great vibes and even better food, I highly recommend Bardough NYC!

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!

We came here with reservations right after watching &Juliet across the street and the only problem was that I the dishes were so big that I couldn't order more. My wife and I enjoy a good meal but didn't research the size of the portions well. Thankfully our waiter guided us appropriately. We ended up skipping the appetizers and getting a chicken parmigiana and a half order of the rigatoni vodka! It was just enough for us. The chicken parmigiana was just right. It's their star and we can see why. The chicken was breaded well and dressed in the rich sauce and cheese. The breading was not overdone and the chicken was moist and tasty. The complimentary bread was helpful in mopping up the sauce. It was my wife's favorite for the night The rigatoni was my favorite and I regretted only getting the half order. I could have had another portion or two. It was the right mixture of flavor and texture. Next time, I'm taking a group of friends here so we can enjoy more of the dishes together. 10 out of 10 would come here again

Both dishes were cooked to perfection with the Alfredo being creamy but not overly buttery! The chicken parmigiana was 2-3 lightly breaded masses of chicken covered with a delicious red sauce and mozzarella. It was only two of us and we took home half of the chicken parmigiana. Ambiance is a family style restaurant where you are close to other tables but the experience was amazing! Would return!
