One of my favorite spots in the city for pizza. If you walk in, they have a cute area to stand outside and eat. I love their new vodka pepperoni pie, and that they have ranch and hot honey for the sides. read more

I get it. Most of your customers at this hour are drunk undergrads wearing the same stonewashed mom jeans and black crop tops, and when the other pizza places nearby are jam packed, you become the plan B or C. I did not have a good experience here. Lines were out the door, the crowd was loud and annoying, and when I finally got up to order, the staff treated me exactly like everyone else in that line: rude, dismissive, no patience. I'm not one of those people. I stood there quietly, knew exactly what I wanted, didn't cause a single issue, and honestly felt for the staff having to deal with that crowd every single night. But being lumped in with everyone else anyway isn't a good look. I don't need special treatment. I just expect basic respect, and even that felt like too much to ask for on this visit. The pizza itself was mid at best, nothing that makes up for the wait or the attitude. Long wait to order, long wait to get the food, and service that ranged from indifferent to actively rude. This spot leans hard into its late-night, square-slice identity, and on a good night that crowd-pleasing chaos probably works in its favor. It just didn't work for me this time. read more

Solid late night (or early evening) casual thin crust pizza shop. Offers a variety of flavors that are the norm for NYC pizzerias. If you go on a weekend, expect a line filled with east village drinkers which creates a young atmosphere in the store reminding me of college days. read more

Before I begin my review, I do think the customer service here was great and I would come here again if someone wanted to eat at this place with me. I have to be so honest, I was a little underwhelmed with Village Square Pizza. The pizza was good, but could have used some more crunch on the bottom in my opinion. Flavor-wise it was good, I really enjoyed the bite of garlic from the slice (grandma square- vodka, pesto, and red). It's a good pizza, but I do think that the accolades made me expect more from the slice. read more

HEADS UP: if you spend less than $10, you CANNOT pay with card!! I almost walked out when I saw this sign as I was only planning to order a single slice and knew I didn't have cash on me. Thankfully, I said something out loud about that and the guy behind the counter let me know that I could pay via Venmo since I didn't have cash. Whew! That was a lifesaver as I was starving at the time and it was late on a Tuesday. The pizza was good - nothing spectacular but not bad either. I stopped in because it was on the way to the train, so I'm just happy to have had a good tasting slice after attending a 2.5 hour long event nearby! As for the customer service, the guy behind the counter was great!! I'm very grateful that he alerted me about being able to pay by Venmo - otherwise I would've had to spend time finding a different pizza place and my brain was foggy from being so hungry. So that was a huge relief! He was also very kind and patient with me as I asked numerous questions about which slices are vegetarian. If I'm in the area again and am craving a pizza slice, I'd definitely swing back in! Important thing to note: they don't have any seating! However, they do have a small bar against the right wall where you can stand and eat your slice quickly before heading out. read more

I usually like think crust pizza, but the square pizzas from here are an exception. I usually don't even like the crust, but love their crust. Their pepperoni square pizza is addictive. The pepperonis are salty and crispy. I've tried the eggplant pizza as well, and it was great too. Service is friendly too. read more

Village Square Pizza is on Avenue A in the East Village. In a sea of every NY instagram viral food of the moment this pizza really stands out. It's delicious. I tried the Grandma (Fresh mozzarella, family recipe tomato sauce, fresh homemade pesto, parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil) and the Marinara Square (Fresh mozzarella, parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, extra virgin olive oil). The marinara was a bit thicker than the Grandma as it had been left to rise longer. The marinara also had cheese under the sauce and the sauce was delicious. I loved the thinner crust on the Grandma. Next time I'd probably get it minus the pesto because I think it makes pizza a bit oily. I tried at least 9 different pizzas on this trip to NYC and these 2 were among my favorites. Well done. read more

Came to Village Square at the end of a long night, the line was long, but move quite quickly. It was a great square pie, I wish the crust was a bit crunchy.

Village Square Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

As per the name of this place, you don't go here for the generic NY style thin crust slices even though they are good (and above average at that.) You go here specifically for the Sicilian style squares. The Grandma Slice here is one of the better slices in the city mostly because of one reason; the pesto. Pesto on pizzas are either bland or have too much garlic or are too herbal and honestly the pesto here is perfect with just a great mixture of herbs, garlic, and nuttiness. If they served a good fusilli here with their excellent pesto at a reasonable price, I would probably bring it as one the better pesto pastas in the city. The pepperoni slice is also tasty and the fact that they're related to Made in New York which happens to be in a feud with another place not to be named that is known for their pepperoni squares adds a bit of extra humor. In terms of the rest of the slice, this sauce quality is good, the cheese is good and well baked on top, and the crust is a bit thick as per the expected style outside of the thinner top which has a satisfying crackle and crunch. The fact of this spot also has locations around the city such as most recently in the food desert that is Midtown West is a good thing as well. Mid 4 for the Grandma Slice particularly because of the pesto. Would be a mid 3 for the rest of the slices. The price is a bit high but yep it's worth it. read more

It's been a long while since I've been to this yummy spot and let's just say that next time it's not gonna be that long! One random nice after midnight it was all about some square and what better spot to get some than here! So it was all about the margarita pizza and let me say it tastes just as amazing as it looks it was soo full of flavor and just really hit the spot with each bite of that yummy slice like so much so! The pepperoni square was also nothing short of delicious too as it was packed with flavor and pepperoni it was like NYC style but in square form making for a really incredible slice from start to finish! The eggplant pizza looked amazing too and it's definitely on the list to get next time as I'm sure it will be just as good as the others! This is a little shop right across from Tompkins Square Park so it's not the easiest place to find parking but it's definitely worth it so don't pass it by! Overall this is some of the best pizza I've ever had so if you find yourself in the area do your taste buds a treat and get some square slices! read more

Hot honey should be on every single pepperoni pizza. In fact, on every pizza! Spicy, sweet honey paired with savory pepperoni - what a combo. At Village Square Pizza, their pepperonis are stacked! Their slices are crispy and chewy at the same time, no floppy pizza, with a crisp base, which gives a satisfying crunch. This spot is known for thick crust square slices, hence the name. We've also tried their three cheese slices, grandma slices, and margherita slices - the hot honey pepperoni pizza slice is hands down the best one. Don't knock it until you try it! read more

Our final stop on our West Village pizza tour was The Village Square, and it was such a sweet way to end the day! Their pizzas are fluffy yet still have a nice crunch, and the toppings are super creative. My absolute favorite was the white pizza--it honestly tasted like eating a sweet cloud. I'm pretty sure they mix ricotta with honey, and it's magical. We also loved the roasted eggplant on marinara--so flavorful and comforting. The interior is cozy and feels like a charming little café. Seating is limited, so it's more of a grab-and-go or quick bite kind of place, but it's definitely worth the stop. Highly recommend if you're looking for something a little different but still delicious on your NYC pizza adventure! read more

Stopped in here on a Friday night and WOW. Staff were super friendly and helpful when deciding which slices we should get and the ambiance of this whole place is top tier. Their pizza is absolutely amazing. Perfect ratio of crust, cheese, sauce, and toppings. I am making a point to come here every trip to nyc! read more

Pizza was okay, but not really sure why this is such a highly rated spot. I came on a Saturday night after a concert nearby, and the line was very short. There's no seating or stools in this pizza spot, so do expect it to be a quick bite or something to takeout. The service was a bit curt. I shared a margarita and vodka square slice with my boyfriend. The vodka slice was pretty disappointing, and it wasn't saucy enough for how thick the crust was. It was mostly very bready and not terribly flavorful. The margarita was good. I liked the sauce and that it wasn't too greasy. It wasn't particularly special, though! My friends also got their cheese slice, and the crust lacked a lot of structure. read more

Okay this pizza was fire. In an area riddled with viral pizza spots, I was hoping to find something a bit quieter. Enter village square pizza. Completely empty on at 2:00 in the afternoon, I entered this small little pizza parlor eagerly saluted by the lone worker. Super nice and friendly. The options looked great, and they all had a best seller notation next to them. So, apparently everything here is good. I went with the grandma slice. A thin crusted, square slice lathered in marinara then topped with a spritz of pesto. I love a thin crust pizza with some good char. This was a solid slice. A little salty, ever so savory. Great texture, crisp. The slice was a solid size, too. To be truthful, one of the better slices I had on my trip. I would not out it in the elite category of slices, but I still think it is a quality slice. Plus, there is something about eating a piece of pizza alone in a small parlor like that. It just feels right. read more

One of the hardest things I ever had to do was break up with East Village Pizza. I'll spare you the novel, but I couldn't justify paying $6.25 for a single slice of thin crust pepperoni pizza that would just wake my stomach up and leave me hungrier than before. After taking a few months to heal, I was finally ready to get back on the horse and find a new late night pizza spot to hit after striking out at the local bars. On Saturday, after striking out at the local bars, my buddy mentioned this place and that it was a good Prince Street Pizza comparable. We walked in here and were met with a small line and not one, but two, neon signs. I love a good neon sign. The staff is LOCKED in and are running this thing like a finely tuned machine. I opted to get two slices of the thick square pizza, with the cute little slightly charred pepperonis on top hehe. $11.98 total for two thick slices. HUGE. I think this may be better than Prince Street, but if it's not, it's 1a/1b. The crust is perfectly crisped, and those pepperonis are a gift from god. True artistry. After demolishing the first slice, I was like "Damn I lowkey could have been good with just one slice..." I think I am still a bit scarred from the East Village Pizza relationship. I have found my new late night pizza spot. I want to leave you, my dear reader, with a quote from Marilyn Monroe: "Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

Village Square Pizza - Chicken bacon ranch - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Went in at ~3am on a Sunday morning and joined a long line of late-night clubbers and partiers. The inside of the shop was real small with no tables and floor to ceiling windows on the shopfront which allowed passerby's to peek in. If everyone was sardined in the place, you'd probably fit ~40 people, but the line of people who fit inside was maybe 12 with the line also continuing outside. Got a thin crust margherita slice and tried a bite of the thick crust white pizza (cheese & honey). Margherita: good, standard fare margherita. Cheesy, marinara-y, not sooooo mozzarella-y, but solid. Maybe not worth $5. 8/10. White pizza: with the hot honey they provide... fire. Straight flames. There are multiple types of cheese on the pizza, and the honey and spice really round out the flavor and fattiness of the cheese and bread. It's so popular that I didn't get to try a whole slice bc it was sold out by the time I got to the front of the line! Worth the $5. 9/10. Overall, the white pizza is great drunchies or a great snack if you're hungry from exploring the NY streets! read more

This isn't the kind of place where you grab a quick slice before heading back out to explore the city. It's the kind of pizza you want to enjoy at the end of the night. It was one of the most filling slices I've had, topped with generous amounts of high-quality cheese. I look forward to trying more slices here. read more

Village Square Pizza - White Square Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Came around 11pm, an hour to closing. They were pretty much done for the day, and the staff were starting to clean and close. No more pizzas in the displays, but they had a few slices of everything left on the back table. I got a square slice of the pepperoni and vodka. Not sure if they were okay with me eating in, but since they gave me my order bagged, I just ate outside. Dough is good, has a good crisp to it exteriorly, and the dough is pillowy on the inside. Vodka slice was on the sweeter side for me. I like my vodka slices to be more balanced. Pepperoni was okay. I prefer Prince Street's more. The pepperoni cups were too charred for my liking. read more

Get the grandma slice. Seriously. While there's no shortage of pizza places in and around the Christopher Street area, this one stands out. They specialize in more of a thin, square slice- hence the name. I generally am a savory sauce person. The sauce here is on the sweeter side, but only just so, so I forgive it given how complex the flavor is. The crust is very good. Crispy and while slightly thicker than a classic NY slice, it's not doughy at all. read more

Village Square pizza is easily going to be one of my favorite pizza places to go to now when I'm in New York. I had it delivered through Door dash. Even though I didn't get it fresh, it took 15 mins to get to my hotel, it was still crispy and good! I love these button pepperonis that these pizza shop uses. It's so addicting. Idk if it's me but it seems more spicy than the regular pepperonis. I love it! TIP - hot honey is highly recommended! I gives this great sweet and spicy taste to it! I highly recommend giving them a try! read more

For $6, it was a bit pricy but very good, and the service was even better. Even though it said $10 minimum for card, they still let me use my credit card, and they even let me select which kind of slice I wanted (corner or middle).

Overall, I think it's a very great slice of pizza and you can't go wrong here. read more

Excellent pizza from Village Square. I'm usually more of a New Haven style apizza fan, but this was probably the best pizza I've had in the City so far. The crust was nice and crispy, with a soft center. Sauce to cheese ratio was superb, and the flavors were fantastic. Had pepperoni and it was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. I used door dash for it late night after a concert and it arrived hot, so clearly they got my order done quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend this place if you find yourself in midtown and craving pie. read more

With all the time I had spent eating around East Village over the years, I always walked past Village Square rather quickly to get to other places in the area. Most of the time there was usually a big crowd of people near the outside and sometimes inside. That area has quite a few late night pizza spots but this is one of the few that has been consistently busy and very well known to locals. I just happen to be around the area after 3am on a Saturday night and you really do get those "midnight cravings" for some food (that tends to be unhealthy overall but oh so delicious). I had been walking about for a little bit and then made my way over to Village Square and of course there was a crowd of people outside (mostly eating and some waiting) and a good amount inside ordering or waiting. Something told me I should hurry and get in and I am glad I did as they were about to close up in a short while (4am Friday and Saturday night). The space inside was designed to mostly standing room grab and go with some counter space on the side (usually just for some seasoning or spice flakes). The gentleman at the counter greeted me right away as I walked in as if I were the first customer of the day (I was definitely not expecting it). I took a quick look at the menus they had framed and looked toward the back table to see what slices were available (there was a good amount of pizzas left!). I ended up getting one pepperoni and sausage slice as well as grandma. They have the ordering and prep down to a science which is how they handle the constant flux of customers. They ask for your name and then call it out when it is ready. I did not wait too long and all orders before me looked to have been handed out in a very timely manner. Those thick square Sicilian type slices were always one of my favorites (of course the classic NY slice will always be one of the best). Getting to eat the pizza right when it got out of the oven is always quite a treat and more so for this place. It is a very NY thing to just be walking around and eating a pizza (especially late at night in the city). Pepperoni is always a must oder wherever I got and the grandma squares are considered fancier for me (as I do not order them often). The regret always sets in when looking at empty plates or taking the last bite of pizza crust....where you wish you ordered more slices. But Village Square definitely saved me that night. As I compose this review, my stomach rumbles a bit and I am seriously considering taking a drive to VS to try and nab some late night slices before they close.... read more

I popped in yesterday on a long walk from Wall Street up to the 34th st east River ferry. This was a nice stop for my 2nd slice of my walk (I had one closer to wall street side, too). This place spanks the dongus hard. I opted for the hot honey packet to top my white slice and I also chose to eat indoors.... Taking up a good 20% of their indoor counter space. It felt like a good fit. Me and the two dudes working there. I could have just brought a sleeping bag and moved in and then yelled at them behind the counter 'yo Mikey, toss me another slice into my sleeping bag.' Whatever these guys are doing w their crust and construction of their pizza left me wanting more. I'm currently staying w a friend in greenpoint and mulling a trip on the ferry and a long walk south from 34th to go snag another slice. Aaaand, it's raining currently. And I'd probably even go in flip flops. That's how good this shit was. Made me also nearly forget about the first slice that I had on my journey. You, too, could become a forgetful zombie willing to move in and share a 40sq ft lobby with me and Mikey and co. (Names have been changed for illustration purposes mainly bc I also don't know actual names). read more
