In the Lower East Side heading to the subway and stumbled across Uncle Sam's Pizza. Not interested in greasy "roni cup" pizza, but just the basics... however, from the looks of their Cheese Slice, decided to opt for the better looking Fresh Mozzarella. Yep, Yelp, the Fresh Mozzarella was a better decision! Recommend for a great slice, though if you can make it, Johnny's on Orchard!!! Note - A few small tables to enjoy your slice. read more

Enjoyed Uncle Sam's Pizza while it was rainy and snowy out, so you know a freshly baked pizza provided instant warmth for the weather. It is a very small pizza shop, so there was not much space to dine in. This was my first pizza in New York, so I don't have much to compare it to, but the pizza was amazing! Every bite was crispy, including the crust which was my favorite part. I do think the worker forgot to put our pizza in the oven, because we were waiting quite a while but once reminded, he placed it in the oven. The pizza of our choice was spicy pepperoni, and the spice is just perfect! Each little pepperoni provided the perfect bite and crisped into a cup. We did burn our hands immediately going for slice, but I definitely will remember this late-night pizza adventure. read more

Really good Brooklyn square with spicy cup pepperoni. Fresh mozz, which I don't like, but not really noticeable under the pepperoni. Very good crunchy crust, very well baked. Really good stuff. I normally prefer just a plain slice but this is exceptional. read more

Went here a month or two ago and never got around to reviewing. People inside were friendly. I got a Spicy Pepperoni Square as recommended outside/inside and it was excellent. Certainly better than Prince Street with just enough heat, a whole lot of crisp pepperoni, and a crunchier crust than most square slices almost on the level but not quite of Detroit style. Cheese blend was on the slightly saltier end but it worked well with the pepperoni. It was a pricier slice but it was very good quality and I had no qualms paying for that tasty of a slice. read more

It was alright. I'm not really used to deep-dish pizza, let alone authentic New York deep dish pizza. I wouldn't necessarily say that my experience here was bad, but it didn't "wow" me either. I wish he would've cooked the slice of pizza a little bit more, as it came out kind of lukewarm. Oh well, it was only one slice, so it's not a huge deal. read more

Uncle Sam wants you! to buy his pizza. It was a cold and rainy night at 145am and the only light shining on a rat filled Clinton street was Uncle Sam's sign - a beacon of hope. I entered and saw a man with lonely eyes gazing aimlessly, as total eclipse of the heart was blasting overhead. The universe told me to get a slice here so I did. He handed it to new in a paper plate without a bag. I looked at him and before I could say anything, he softly whispered, 'bag?'. I nodded like a nervous child. He bagged it and folded it meticulously. I undid this fine work to apply proper seasonings to my slice, as one should. I re-bagged it but it didn't look the same. We both said good night as I opened the door to return to the rats. It was delicious. I never caught his name. I'll be back. read more

This pepperoni square pizza and garlic knots (sadly not pictured) are the best I've ever had! The thick pepperoni slice and even spread of cheese and tomato sauce make the perfect bite - in my books, this trumps Prince St Pizza, which often has its bad days with cold, limpy pizza with the cheese separating from the sauce. But the true winner is the garlic knots - truly a bomb of flavor with the amount of garlic used (which I love!) and not too doughy but perfectly moist and chewy and springy in texture. read more

Perfect for a late night snack after drinking in LES. Just around the corner from Subject and down the block from Garfunkel's. I loved the Sicilian deep dish pepperoni. They are incredibly generous with the meat, so it's a great value (around $5). Plenty of cheese and pepper topping options. Limited seating and ambience is meh, so it's really best for delivery, take-out, or a quick bite. read more

Pizza came out not piping hot. Ehh. Regular slice : Crust 4/5 Cheese 3/5 Sauce 3/5. Crust was pretty good. Crispy and had an airy crust. But tasteless. Cheese. Had no pull. Wasn't a fan. Sauce : bland but not bad. Grandma slice : If it was hotter I'd love it. Sauce was good. Not too spicy or salty nor too sweet Cheese. It's mozzarella. Nuf said. Crust was decent but also not flavorful. I'd come here again if it's the only place opened bc they do open until late. Prices are standard LES slice price. read more

I had a great time at Uncle Sam's pizza today. I came by on a lunch break from a work training I was attending around the corner. The door was ajar so I went in. It didn't seem to be open yet based on the fact that there was no food behind the display glass. However, the owner warmly greeted me and asked how was I doing and what I wanted to eat. I told him I wanted a plain slice and he informed me that there were Sicilian slices fresh out of the oven but if I wanted a plain slice, there'd be a wait. I decided to go with the Sicilian slice and it was a good choice! The pizza was fresh, hot, and crispy around the edges--just how I like it!!! We even chatted for a bit seeing as how I was the only customer there at the time. We spoke about our nationalities, and I shared the tiny bit of Arabic I knew with him, since he told me that he's from Egypt and speaks that language. It was a pleasant experience at Uncle Sam's. It's a quaint, unassuming pizzeria in a super bougie neighborhood (Lower East Side) but he made me feel right at home! Thanks for having me, Uncle Sam! Look forward to being back soon. 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.

Vile, disgusting pizza. The pies are aggressively salty, overpriced, and really have very little…read moreflavor and character. It also did not help that I was seated at the bar... 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

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

Bardough NYC is such a fun spot! The atmosphere is lively and energetic, making it perfect for a…read morenight out with friends or even a casual date. 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!

Walking into Bardough will make you want to kill your phone the second you hit the bottom step…read morebecause the ambiance here is dialed in perfectly. 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!
