OMG. Had the good fortune of discovering Joe’s Pizza after exiting the subway to Brooklyn on our way to the Moxy Hotel, and Brooklyn for St. Patty’s Day. We hadn’t eaten all day, and desperately needed some sustenance. Got just one slice around 5:30, because we wanted to keep our bellies empty for perhaps some other kind of dinner.
On our way back out, we stopped again, and got yet another slice around 8:30. It was just so darn good, fast and easy.
We partied all night at Craic among many other establishments til around 2:40.
We then realized we never ate anything else, and closed Joe’s at nearly 3 a.m. with four more slices, and they even gave us extras as they were closing.
Why (how) three times in just 9 hours?
Because Joe’s is the quintessential NEW YORK style PIZZERIA featuring giant CHEWY, gooey, super tasty slices! Authentic, hot, cheesy, flavorful…very hard to TOP.
Don’t waste your time elsewhere.
Spinach White is D O P E. Pepperoni is a chewy, gooey, Italian spicy classic.
A must VISIT.

This is the kind of place people think of when they think NY pizza. Slices are about $5-6, but they’re big. Two slices is a meal. Joe’s is my son’s favorite NYC pizza joint. Their slices are a lurid greasier than I’d prefer, and that’s why it’s not my absolute favorite; but that’s a preference, and Joe’s is still outstanding.

No frills, but fast, and pretty good pizza overall. Slices were smaller for the price than I've gotten at other places, but nothing to really complain about otherwise.

Joe’s Pizza is hands down one of the best places to grab a classic New York slice. The moment you walk in, you can smell the fresh pizza coming out of the oven, and it immediately feels like a true NYC experience. The crust is perfectly thin and crispy with just the right amount of chew, the sauce is flavorful without being too heavy, and the cheese is always melted perfectly. Every slice tastes fresh and balanced, which is exactly what you want from a classic New York pizza.
What I love most is how consistent it is—no matter when you go, the quality is always great. The service is fast, the staff keeps things moving, and you can grab a slice and be enjoying it within minutes. It’s simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Whether you’re a local or visiting New York for the first time, Joe’s Pizza is a must-try spot for a true NYC slice. 🍕

I mean it’s pretty basic it’s just a pizza, but it’s not that special. The taste wasn’t incredible.

Nothing about this pizza tasted good and the texture was not nice
Such a humble slice. Had the cheese and pepperoni. The cheese was great, sauce was amazing, dough was crispy but fluffy (the perfect NY pizza cook) and the cheese provided a little more bite. Pepperoni was better imo. The roni added a bit more saltiness and savoury complexity that complements the cheese
