Great casual spot to grab a quick slice on this busy intersection in Nolita. No lines, no fuss, service was quick, prices are not too crazy. I tried the Falcowitz (mushroom) slice ($4.50) and the Sunny Goldstein ($6) - both were delicious though I wish I went for the classic cheese instead of the latter. Lots of outdoor seating and bar tables if you want to stand and eat like a true New Yorker, on the go. Upside is a newish business with a more modern interior, but still encapsulates the NY culture and vibe. read more

Stopped here on a whim having already eaten something for dinner. I'm glad I did! The crust was amazing. The sauce too, really the star of the tomato slice -- it was so fluffy but with a chew that made it to die for. I wish I had tried some different flavors, I asked the man helping me for a suggestion between vodka and mushroom and he looked at me like I had grown a third eyeball and ignored the question. Very classic NYC pizza joint. I just got two that looked good. I was surprised to find a place to sit and eat on a Friday night but I'm glad I did because this was so savory and great hot out of the oven. I took some home for leftovers and it could not beat the in house experience. My only complaint was the seasoning on the mushrooms, there was none and the cheese wasn't salty enough to give it the flavor you need without any sauce to balance. Surprisingly it was packed but did not feel like it! The staff did a good job keeping people moving and tables cleared off to eat. If I come nearby again, I'll try another slice. read more

I wish I had 2 stomachs to try all The flavors of Pizza they had but I stuck with the tried and true pepperoni which was DEER-LISH-SHHHUUSSS!! It's a thin yet thick Slice With zesty Marina and Plenty of cheese but thin pepperonis That are small but manageable. A slice Is about $5.50. Next time I will try the sausage, mushroom and broccoli rabe!! Tables inside have have ample breeze but there are also spacious tables outside. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was cuz the crusts were super dry and hard, and the slice was really oily. Still would come back!! read more

Quintessential New York Street slice! At the midtown location the slice was the best pizza I had in this trip, at this location I preferred the slice. Nearly as good as Prince street. The edge here was caramelized with cheese like a Detroit square and every bit as goods crunched liked a stale piece of toast but in a good way. I can't wait to come back! read more

Upside Pizza opened to a lot of fanfare. I've frequented the location by the Port Authority and others around the city. This Soho adjacent locale was reliable as a post-drinks spot when Prince Street was either closed or you didn't want to deal with lines. Writing this to say- AVOID. This is the worst pizza I have eaten as a native New Yorker. The Sicilian was burnt with large "scabs" of congealed cheese and the veg slice (surprise!) came with chunks of meat and was so salty and so garlicky that it completely assaulted my taste buds and led to so much indigestion that I did not sleep all night. The dough was like flavorless cardboard and as thick as a pizza box lid flap. Truly the most regrettable pizza ever I have ever purchased. Domestic pizza I have eaten thousands of miles away from New York has been better than what I was served last night. In the past cheese and pepperoni slices have been reliable here and I've tried some truly exceptional flavors at the original location so this place was a solid 3-4 stars, however, whoever was making the pizza (or reheating old pizza) at the NoLiTa location around 8:30pm on Nov. 8, 2024 needs to find a new career path. read more

Came here for a lighter bite in the middle of the day. I got a tomato slice. The tomato sauce was too acidic for me. However the crust and bread were so good. A good amount of heft yet still so crispy. The aromatics of the garlic and basil were fragrant. There's ample amount of seating. However, I can see it getting busy.

The office catered from here with a variety of pies. I had the spicy vodka pizza and the tomato pie which was focaccia with sauce. The focaccia was very good, and the sauce was SO flavorful. There was an explosion of flavor when I tasted the sauce. 10/10, and I don't give those out lightly. The spicy vodka sauce slice was good but nothing special.

5 stars for the location which offers a lively perch for people watching in this fun part of town. They have set up a pretty cool outside seating area along with smaller tables around the shop. You can really take it all in while here. The joint itself has a nice design and was clean. 2 stars for the slice I got. I'm just not a fan of their pizza. The Sicilian slice I had was dry and flavorless. I enjoy a good slice with a crispy bottom and edges, but their overcooked burnt style here did nothing for me. Maybe others like this kind of pizza but I'll take a hard pass. Maybe next time I'll try something else here if in the area. read more

Let me tell you guys how i bumped into this pizza shop. My mom and I decided to take the kids out one day and was walking around the neighborhood. We took them to the park that's right across the street from the pizza shop and got hungry, can you guess where we ended up going ? Hehe Yup right here to this Pizza Shop. The space is pretty decent inside if it's not packed. The workers are wearing their masks but they dont require it for the people coming in. They have seating inside and outside- so is totally up to you. A regular cheese pizza is $3.00. They're thin slices if you're into those types of pizza but i would definitely rate it a 8 out 10. The cheese taste fresh and delicious- so, it might make you want another slice. The picture posted below was a different time. The pizza is pretty fantastic so i had to show my little pizza lover what a good pizza taste like. She wasn't fond of it as much as i was but she said it was good still. Everyone has different taste liking, so if you go comment below what you think of it. read more

SHEEEESSHHHHH when I came to New York and they said I have to try pizza at any spot I see I didn't think it would be this good! I tried about 4 different places for a slice and THIS was the best slice I had in my time here. Given, I was starving and had a friend recommend it to me but what really set this apart was the crunchy crispy edges on the crust. As someone who PREFERS that and almost likes it when its a little overcooked (cheese is like a darker orange) that grandma's pepperoni slice really did it for me. Quicker to get as well compared to other places. Light and fluffy - better than Prince's imo. read more

I wanted to get a slice before leaving LES even though we just ate dinner around the block and was pretty full. The place was packed but the line wasn't too long. Ordered a reg slice $3.50. L thought I was crazy getting pizza after eating a big meal.. but I was right there... might as well. Ooh and it was good. Definitely better quality than your typical NY slice for basically the same price nowadays. The pizza had a ton of flavor perhaps too much for me since I can't have too much sodium.. so I only managed a few bites then L devoured it. The crust was great..nice and crispy. Good cheese.. sauce wasn't too sweet. Really buttery. Now he wants more pizza from this place. read more

We were waiting for a table to be called on at Ruby's next door and we were in NYC and who can't resist pizza when you're in NYC? The place looked poppin' so we decided to grab a slice. I'm used to those $1 slices, so I was pretty shocked when I saw the pizza was $5, but maybe it's inflation. I grabbed a slice of pepperoni and we were able to get our pizza heated up pretty quickly. It may be due to the ambiance, but NYC pizza absolutely slaps wherever you are. The thin crust, the perfect amount of cheese, and the perfectly seasoned pepperoni make a great combo. Their crushed pepper was more like a powder, and it definitely added the spice to it! They have indoor and outdoor seating so it's great place to grab a quick bite. It was my first time in SoHo and my first time at this pizza spot -- I will say the $5 price point threw me off, but I definitely enjoyed my pizza slice here! read more

It has like a lemony flavor to it which adds such freshness and elevates it so much. It's good dough too. Not too thin and not too thick. Good sauce and good amount of cheese. The slice with broccoli on it was delicious! Don't knock it until you try it! The pepperoni was a solid slice as well. Their upside down square pizza is delicious! The dough is so good and kinda taste like sourdough and the sauce and cheese ratio is good! For garlic knots were just avg to me read more

Tasty slices that almost seem like a clone of Prince Street Pizza down the block would be how I would describe it. While I am not a fan of pizza places trying to get all hipster artisanal and using it as an excuse to charge over $5 for a slice even when factoring inflation, this place is a decent alternative to Prince Street Pizza if the line at Prince Street is a bit too long with tourists in the neighborhood. I would give this place a try if you're in the area and would probably put it on a list of the many pizza joints in NYC to try. read more

They then proceeded to kick them out of the store while I waited in line to order some garlic knots, which we got about 6 of them and they were pretty good, but not happy about the way the staff talked to us.

This place opened a couple of months ago, and is the best option in Morningside Heights for a single slice of pizza. I've had the spicy vodka, the cheese, and the mushroom pizza, and you really can't go wrong with any of those choices. Now, if you choose to dine in, make sure you are prepared for the music. The music is often too loud, and it can sometimes be quite vulgar. There are usually several people behind the counter, so the service is always quick, but not always efficient. read more

I thought the price of a slice is supposed to be roughly the cost of an MTA fare (as of today, $2.90). I guess times have changed and ya know, inflation. Here you get a pretty standard cheese slice for $4 bucks. I like that they have seating indoors, cafe seating on the sidewalk, and benches on appropriated side street parking. Take your pick! Quick and easy to grab a slice, and genuinely friendly guys who work here! This place probably gets a ton of foot traffic for its proximity to the divey bar across the street, the playground and the subway station. If I had one minor thing to mention, it was about their crust. Texture of the crust was nice, had a good crisp and chew but the flavor was a bit lackluster. Neither sweet nor salty nor yeasty. Just okay for what it was. read more

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together.

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.

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!

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. The bits of bacon, combined with the spiciness of the pepper spices, made this a perfect starter. The entree was also shared and it was the Spicoli 2.0 Pizza. I cannot recommend this pie, enough. You will taste flavors that you've probably never experienced before with a pizza. 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. Each spoonful of those strawberries, dancing with the firm custard and glaze, made this a stupendous cap to the meal.

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 bar is a great bonus--well-stocked and a great place to hang while you wait for a table.

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!

I definitely recommend coming here right when it opens. For the food itself, I got the Mix Platter (Lamb and chicken) which was delicious and flavorful. It had a spicy kick, but it was still enjoyable. The plate was definitely loaded and I recommend getting it with the spicy rice. I definitely think it's worth the hype and would come again.

I feel like this place is a 1 and done - but not something that you have to have... more like, if…read moreyou have FOMO and want to try the hype. I feel like this place is good, but the white sauce is what makes it. Would I wait another 50 minutes in line, again? Heck to the no - but 1 time? Yes, just to say I tried it. I came in line around 9:45pm and waited approx. 50 minutes before being served. the line just grows and grows.... it is crazy busy! I don't get the line concept here. Because while I was in a long line, when I get to the front, there's another line to the left of the truck... and people seem to be getting their food faster, and the line is like 2x shorter. So that's kind of confusing. Ambience in line and ordering = chaotic. The line is quick in terms of when it is your turn, KNOW what you want. Because you have like 5 seconds to order and that's it. I ordered the special (the spicy rice, lamb and chicken combo, extra white sauce, 3 squirts of hot sauce, and a topped with fries). $13 in total. I would like to say, advice to folks to know what you want before you come. I did not look at menu options beforehand and I did fairly little research so I honestly did not know what to order, just looked at some google reviews and pictures. That is going to help you, in case you do not want the typical lamb and chicken combo. To the food - 1st - they don't care how much hot sauce you want. they're making these bowls in the masses and are just giving you a single squirt so they can make 20 bowls all at the same time. I was hoping for more spice in what I ordered, but it was very slightly spicy. I'm not sure if they let you serve yourself to more, but I'd definitely want more of the hot sauce. 2nd - I didn't taste any spice in the spicy rice. I'm not sure if, again, due to the fast production that it all just taste like regular rice? but didn't see what the hype was there. 3rd - I genuinely think the white sauce is what brings it all together. The chicken was OK to me. I didn't think it was anything special, and would give it a 3 out of 5. texture was OK, flavor was OK... the lamb definitely stole the show. The lamb was absolutely flavorful and full of delicious spices. This reminded me of what I've had in Dubai. Very rich in flavor and just the perfect amount of spices. Overall, I think if you wait for your food to cool down like 20 minutes, you'll get to taste the flavors more. Everything hot together, for me, just didn't allow me to really absorb all the food. But the rice was your average rice. Pita was deliciously soft and pillowy which complemented the white sauce. Chicken was ok. had an OK texture; nothing life changing. lamb was fantastic, and fries were just fries (nothing memorable). For a NYC experience, a 1-time, 50 minute wait is acceptable. And, for $13, that's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get. I would eat it again if the line was 5 minutes. Otherwise, I'm positive you will find similar food/better food elsewhere.

Combo (chicken and lamb) over rice and fries was well seasoned. Would recommend dranks while waiting with friends in line hehe!

It was very enjoyable but extremely short lived. Leaves you wanting more - both because it tastes good and there isnt much food. I wish the hot honey wasn't extra charge because that would probably be delicious but $2 is crazy!

Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure.

Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

I've been wanting to try this place out since 2021, but never got the chance. I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

Smaller than I thought. Now I know why there is always such a long wait.

We walked into a space with a rustic and earthy design that felt warm and comfortable, the kind of room that stands out from the typical tourist-area restaurants nearby. The dining room had a relaxed, inviting energy with a layout that accommodated both small groups and larger parties, and the focus felt centered around the food rather than the spectacle of the neighborhood. The food is where Mountain House really stands out. We ordered a few dishes and found the Mapo tofu one of the highlights, with a deep, rich flavor and a balanced level of heat that made it feel more complex than many versions of the dish we have tried. The combination of spice, seasoning, and texture came together in a way that felt carefully composed. The Sichuan-style dishes also showcased the restaurant's strength with bold mala flavors, bringing the characteristic numbing spice without completely overwhelming the other elements of the dish. The fried rice was another standout, simple but executed well, with a comforting quality that made it a great balance alongside the more intense Sichuan dishes. The restaurant also offered a variety of dishes that worked well for sharing, including options like pork belly and seafood-based dishes, making it a good choice for groups who wanted to try multiple flavors instead of ordering individually. We appreciated the small touches that added to the overall experience, including the complimentary pickled vegetables and tea service, which helped make the meal feel more complete rather than just a series of dishes arriving at the table. Service during our visit was attentive, and the staff were helpful with navigating the menu and spice levels. They offered guidance on which dishes would work best for our group and adjusted the heat when we asked. The main thing to keep in mind is that Sichuan cuisine can vary significantly in spice level, and some dishes can be much hotter than expected. If you are not used to mala spice, asking for recommendations or adjusting the spice level is worth doing. The portions also make this a better option for sharing, especially if you want to try several dishes. Overall, Mountain House is a strong option for Sichuan food. The combination of bold flavors, comfortable atmosphere, and attentive service makes it a place worth returning to, especially if you enjoy spicy Chinese cuisine and want a restaurant that focuses on the flavors and techniques of Sichuan cooking rather than just convenience.
