Grabbed a couple slices, cheese and pina colada. One was cold and the burnt on the bottom for $10. Overpriced and not very good. Edible, but won’t be going back.

Skip it. Vastly overrated, not even close to best pizza in New York. Don’t believe the tik toks, just go to Marinara. Im a NYer who eats a ton of pizza. Trust me.

Pizza was great! Though during lunch rush it gets quite busy and the worker taking orders at the counter was also taking call in orders. I tried the fresh mozzarella and a classic slice, both were great! Their pizza sauce is sweet and that is definitely a plus on my behalf.

You will pay “famous prices for a mediocore slice. Honestly the regular slice is too thin and lacks flavor. This place is decent but you will be disappointed when you spend a10 dollars on 2 slices and no drink and still feel hungry when you are done eating. I feel like they can make a better slice for what they charge.

The pizza was not as great as the nostalgia. Joe’s has been famous for decades, unfortunately the reality is “famous” is not always “the best”. If you’re looking for a good slice of pizza, simply to have that classic “grab a slice in New York” experience, Joe’s is great. They have good pizza, good ingredients, good prices, and great service. If you’re on a mission to find “the best pizza in New York”, then this is probably not the place. My main complaint is that their sauce is just completely bland. In Italy, “Marinara” is known as the mother of all tomato sauces. It’s traditionally kept very simple, to keep it versatile for different recipes. Tomatoes, Olive Oil, Salt, and a little garlic. That’s basically what the sauce is at Joe’s. Italians will use the Marinara to then make a gravy(AKA spaghetti sauce in America) for pasta or a pizza sauce. This will include spices, herbs, and will develop the flavor and texture to the families desired preferences. In my opinion, New York pizza isn’t the best pizza to start with. Typically pretty bland, and not much flavor. There are better pizza places in New Jersey, where the dough is fresh, and the sauce is full of flavor. All in all, what are you looking for? A nostalgic experience in a trendy restaurant? Or THE BEST pizza in town?

this pizzeria is the worst waited 45 minutes for the pizza and it was cold and it tastes discusting. I will never order again from this pizzeria . hands down for Joe's pizzeria.
Joe's Pizza - simply the best slice in NYC and anywhere! Going to Joe's Pizza since the '90s when discovering their Bleeker and Carmine corner location, (1/2 block away from their present Carmine pizzeria,) i.e., the one later seen in Spider-man, the movie. (At the time, these two Greenwich Village spots were their only locations.) Over the years, introduced all my family, friends, and business associates to Joe's amazing perfect slice - again, the best! Hot and fresh from the oven, crust, sauce, cheese all in balance! Everyone from out-of-town wants to come back every time they're in the city, even if it's just for one slice!!! This 14th St. Joe's Pizza location also delivers that same perfect pizza slice as their main Greenwich Village Carmine Street location (and former Bleeker & Carmine corner spot)! It's typically busy, but well worth the wait! Recommendation to Joe's Pizza newbies - 1) Even if you typically get toppings on pizza, don't! Trust me on this! The best way to evaluate a pizzeria is to compare their basic cheese slice versus other pizzerias. It's a baseline. Especially with Joe's, you'll notice the enormous difference! 2) Once enjoying Joe's regular plain slices multiple times, check out their plain Sicilian (square) also delicious slice.

I would say just over rated but it's VERY overrated just based on all the fam game fanboy crap that goes on in this city around foodie fake news and sheep like the same nitwits who think L&B in Brooklyn i even good rathe rvreat when it's total SHIT (L&B that is). This place was better back in the 90s but quite frankly it's just not that great it's not bad it's just not great it's basic and I'm pretty much done trying to get a good size from this place when I can go to quite a few other places that I know of that are much more on the DL with the public.

I've been to NYC several times, and have had different kinds of pizzas. But this was the first of the big "must try" names I had for the quintessential NY style slice. And for that as the standard, I would give it 5 stars. This location is just a short walk away from The Union Square station. Even around 10pm, there's a small line of people, folks sitting outside, folks sitting inside. You can see the wall of famous people who've stopped by over the years; and under their smiles, I sat down by the bar to eat as well. I ordered a slice of the cheese pizza. It was put into the oven for a quick moment before being served to me. It comes out pretty hot, so I'd give it a minute before biting into it. The slice is a generous size, one was pretty filling. I don't have fancy words to describe the taste, except that it was exactly how I wanted it to be. This is a slice you could eat anytime, and you know what you're gonna get. I'd be curious to try their other flavors in the future! It's not going to change your life, but it's something every visitor should experience.
