When in New York, I wanted a slice of greasy pizza slapped on a paper plate, and this place did not disappoint! (The good kind of greasy, by the way). The workers were your NYC-typical friendly and the seating outside was nice to have, but could use more shade to maximize the tables used. It was a little expensive!! There is also a surcharge for credit cards. We saw slices for 1.50 so compared to that, costly.. but the price would be worth it for that yummy pizza fix... read more

Went in the other night, ordered a vodka slice, got a plain cheese slice. Not the end of the world, but I saw him put it in the box, knew it wasn't vodka, so I asked, is that vodka? Yes. Are you sure? He opens box, looks at it, says yes, 100%. It wasn't. I paid for vodka, didn't realize until I got home it's not. It's not a huge deal, but the guy lied to my face, and that's the kind of thing that would make me not go in there again. I'd rather go up a block to Prince Street, wait an extra 10 minutes, get what I want and get what I paid for. read more

One of the main reasons I like to visit this establishment is because they always have pop-ups with other brands to promote products. This past week they had a pop-up with a Korean skincare brand. I ordered garlic knots to go. This order also came with free Korean skincare with purchase. I am such a fan of garlic knots but I need to dock one star for this. The garlic knots were clearly burnt. I feel like this is not part of their routine to have so many customers, leading to little mistakes like this. I've also had their pizza slices in the past. The slice is usually stale, with no crunch. In terms of ambience, there are always seems to be a crowd. Customers might expect a wait to get into the shop and order. Next time I'm in the area I might want to try a specialty pizza slice. read more

Great place to grab a quick slice (or multiple slices). There is a seating area. Be warned, there is no bathroom available for customer use, so if cheese doesn't agree with you, remember there's no bathroom here before you visit. Depending on how high your stomach capacity is, the portion size is either amazing or deplorable. One slice is pretty filling for me, personally, and I will not make the mistake of ordering two again! On the bright side, thank you Upside Pizza for indirectly introducing me to new friends (I did not want to commute home holding pizza, and gave the extra slice to a friendly group of other twentysomethings). read more

Of course we had to get a classic New York pizza on our trip and this place did not disappoint. On a bustling street in lower manhattan, this place gave me the chaotic and hectic New York pizza experience I was looking for. I got the spinach cream pizza and tavern style pepperoni and both were amazing. Cooked to perfection and had all the toppings I loved. The workers gave crazy attitude and were pretty mean but I guess that's part of the charm too? read more

Visited this NoLIta pizzeria location's reincarnation as Upside Pizza for the first time, noting the short line out the door, its recent hype, and my memories of slices here as (if I recall correctly) Pomodoro. My experience with my plain cheese slice: 1) Ordering seemed slower leaving a lot of time between customers. Plus once my slice appeared, the person at the register seemed challenged, taking maybe 4-5 minutes working through difficulties with the system's menu entering the prior customer's order for their slices. (Way too long waiting to pay, while my pizza was losing its heat!) 2) While a good crust and sauce, absolutely not a fan of whatever cheese they used! Not just the taste, the cheese created a lot of grease that dripped off the top of the slice. (See pic showing the gross, excess grease coating the cheese! Beware! It dripped onto my shirt!) Made me knock it down to 4 Stars! 3) The annoyingly loud music during the wait and quick dining time didn't add to the atmosphere! The frenetic tunes just made me consider getting far away from there as possible! That being said, Upside Pizza is the best option, as far as I can tell for the time being, in this neighborhood. Regardless, find it a little overhyped. If the line is too long and you have the time, head to better 5 Star New York slice options! read more

I've tried most of the spots were deemed the best slices in Manhattan according to popular opinion, and I'd say Upside is one of my favs so far. Everyone's perfect slice is different but I just liked the flavor of the mushroom pizza (a nice lemony zest), and the crust is thin and crispy. read more

Had the pleasure of trying a number of slices here, and they were all winners. Loved the cheese and mushroom ones in particular. The team is super nice, and moves quickly. You can usually find a seat in the shop or outside. A great bonus is that they have an associated soft serve ice cream shop attached (Softside).

Came here for a quick bite and the pizza wasn't bad. There were only three options when I went, which was a shame. But, I got two slices and their garlic bread. They warmed it up so it was crispy on the bottom (but I wish they left it to warm up a bit more as the top wasn't that hot). Good pizza, a bit on the pricier side, but not bad. Service was nice. read more

I stopped in here for a slice when visiting NYC a few weeks ago. My friend and I did a mini "pizza crawl" where we tried a slice from three different places and this was my favorite! I ordered the Cacio E Pepe slice and it was so good it is hard to describe! I loved the tang of the cheese but the cool ricotta on top. I would happily order this again! I like how most places warm up the slice for you so that it's fresh and the crust is crisp. The decor is also a fun retro style, and there are tables outside where you can stand and eat! I hope to return next time I'm in the city! read more

The dough on this pizza deserves five out of five stars. It's so crunchy and delicious and the sourdough flavour really comes through. I think the styling and decor inside is nice and it feels really peaceful, especially on a chaotic hot day after you've walked through chaotic Union Square. My plain slice was excellent. I have no negative feedback for it whatsoever. It was very yummy and it was so good compared to the other slices I tried that I wished I gotten only plain slices. The cacio e pepe slice was simply inaccurate. That dish when made as a pasta stands out because of the sharpness of the pecorino romano and the toasted black pepper. The pizza slice is too subtle in its flavours, so it doesn't feel similar. I had a perfect cacio e pepe slice a little Neapolitan-family owned pizzeria in Rome and it was tremendously delicious. It became my benchmark, so while it may not be a fair, the Upside slice tasted bland in comparison. The other non-tomato slice I had was with white wine and mushrooms and it simply was not memorable at all. But the plain slice was so absolutely perfect, even with nothing else on it. They had to have put a little bit of love in that one. It was so good that I was doing a double take to see if there were more available in case I wanted to order some. That one slice would keep me going back to chaotic Union Square so that I can get this pizza again. read more

What better way to celebrate pi day than with some pizza! Heard great things about Upside Pizza so I decided to try. Of course, the way to judge a pizza parlor is with their plain cheese slice. A little on the smaller side when compared to other pizza places I've been to. Taste-wise, it's not my favorite pizza... but it's good! This place is definitely for CRUNCHY crust lovers. There is zero flop to the pizza. Also for lovers of pizza on the saltier side (I prefer my sauce a little on the sweeter side). The cheese is also a little more on the charred side. Crust is sourdough so it's just like sourdough bread. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. I wish the tables got more of a wipe-down between customers. All in all, solid slice at $4. My preferences are just a little different when it comes to pizza, is all! read more

After a perfume event over the weekend, Michael and I went to have pizza at Upside Pizza. We got a table which was a nice surprise. He got two slices which he found greasy and mopped it with a napkin. It was his first time here. I chose a plain slice with two garlic knots. I am always in search of garlicky soft and chewy pizza knots. I gave a knot to Michael. I found both my choices tasty and I finished it all. There is a restroom here but it needed cleaning and tissue paper. Several customers started arriving and it's good that there is outdoor seating. We weren't hurried off so we enjoyed chatting. The Upside Team were efficient and pleasant. read more

It was quick service. I didn't like my pizza very much though, mushroom seemed a bit old. It was unbearable greasy. My girlfriend didn't like her cheese pizza either. What saved them is they at least happen to have way more seating options (although still very limited). I also gave them another point for having coke in a glass bottle - which we all know makes it 10 times better. In all - I would AVOID getting pizza here. Definitely better places to try read more

While I came to visit New York, I was always told to come try the pizza, and this place did not disappoint. Even before going inside I can smell the pizza outside and had to try. It was crowded but I did come during the weekend and thankfully was able to find seats. They were a bit messy inside but with how busy and crowded it was, it was not surprising. The pizza on the window looked good and fluffy but only wanted a pepperoni slice. The guys there took my order and was able to get my food somewhat quick. At first the pizza itself didn't look impressive and was greasy but was a huge slice. Once I picked it up and started to eat, I was actually surprised that it tasted good. The crust held up well so wasn't flopping all over like I expected. The crust was good too and had a good crunch. I like how the sauce was light and good amount of cheese for sure. It was greasy too but not overwhelming. I would definitely come back here again if I'm in New York in the future. read more

The place is normally packed and understandably so! The pizza is really good. In the area things can get expensive literally because they can. This was my first time trying mushroom on pizza and it was SO good. Usually the mushroom looks all wet and floppy. The slice was able to stand up after being folded in half. Ya'll should check it out if you haven't but beware! It's going to be on the louder side. It's more of a grab and go space in my opinion. read more

Cheese slice should always be the first option. Let your appetite rest on the foundation that all great pizzerias are built on. Their plain slice is good.

I would describe it as more of a Detroit style actually, with a super crispy crust and nice textural contrast. On the other hand, we did not enjoy the seasonal vegetable pie or the nepo pie. I generally really like this sort of no-cheese, umami-heavy pizza, but the nepo was so salty! I'm not sure what specific ingredient was missing, but missing it was. My hopes for a recreation of the rossa pie I enjoyed at Farina prior to their closure were dashed. As for the vegetable pie, the vegetables tasted like the frozen veggies one might find in what was once marketed as a "TV dinner". It was a shame, since the sauce of the white pie was otherwise pretty good.

The Regina Margherita with the grape tomatoes melted in my mouth the flavor was sensational. You must try the Pere & Noci salad along with your pizza, it peas, exquisite‼ Giorgia Caporuscio, an acclaimed and world champion pizzaiola who has earned international recognition for her authentic Neapolitan pizza, is behind the beloved Don Antonio restaurant. Located at 309 West 50th Street in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, the casual eatery has an extensive list of pizzas. Don Antonio has over 30 types of Neapolitan pizzas, and the menu is a little bit daunting at first due to so many options, but even the pickiest eater will find something they'll want to eat. To top that off, Caporuscio recently debuted a brand new pizza tasting menu that features a curated lineup of never-before-seen pizza napoletana, and seven varieties of pizza fritta (fried pizza). Lastly, the entire pizza menu is now available gluten-free. With vast offerings, they are ambitious, and every dish is outstanding.

Beautifully pillowy crust with a fiery char, and there's a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity from the tomato and savoriness from the pesto. We were curious about the white pizzas so we tried the norma and that one was nice as well with a lot of textures from the eggplant and tomato. Personally prefer the margarita as it seems to be a more well-rounded pizza and the tomato just can't be missed. It was pretty packed inside when we got there and took the bar seating, so would probably recommend a reservation for larger parties (2+) on evenings. Definitely one of my top neopolitan pizza spots in NYC!

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

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 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.

The wait looked intimidating at first, but the operation runs like a well-oiled machine, and once you get your food, you'll understand why so many people are willing to stand in line. The Spicy Rice Combo was out of this world. The flavors were bold, perfectly seasoned, and packed with just the right amount of heat. Every bite delivered that classic NYC halal cart experience but elevated to another level. The fries were equally impressive--crispy, fresh, and the perfect complement to the meal. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There's something special about grabbing incredible food late at night alongside locals, tourists, and food lovers all gathered for the same reason. The energy, the anticipation, and ultimately the food itself made for a memorable experience. Yes, the lines are long. Yes, it's late at night. And yes, it's 100% worth the wait.
