Stopped in here while walking down the street to Empire Cake. Any time there is a slice house I am more than game with swinging in and grabbing a few. Not a large area - but for grab n go and a few tables inside and outside. They weren't busy as it was right after the lunch crowd. The guy working took our order and got us in and out quickly. We shared a grandma (square with pepperoni) as well as a margherita slice. Both were VERY GOOD. Arguably the two best slices of the weekend. Dough was fresh, proper bake on each, and fresh tasting ingredients. I noticed they also had pasta options as well, so this could be a fallback if in the area and reservations elsewhere falls through.

Charming Chelsea pizza joint with one of the best slices in the area, if not all of Manhattan.

Best slice I've had in years! Def my new favorite go to spot in Manhattan. They even have a lunch special. 2 slices and a soda for $6.50. if u want amazing pizza here in the city that it was invented, come to this spot. I've lived here in New York my whole life and can't remember the last time I had a slice so perfect ??

Good place to go for the lunch special. Don't expect anything fancy or mind blowing. Two mediocre slices and a can of soda for $6.50 - which is a pretty great deal in the city. The restaurant is clean and cuter than you expect it to be. Small, with a few tables and chairs should you choose to eat there. The cashier will act less than thrilled that you have decided to visit the establishment, but consider it part of the New York ambiance. Very important note: the lunch special begins at 11:30am. Avoid like the plague from 11:30am-12:30pm on weekdays. There are schools nearby and the entire place gets overrun with loud tweens and teens. Nightmare fuel, for real. Otherwise, drop in and enjoy a cheap bite to eat.

How do you have a sit down and stay option with no available bathroom. It's really inconsiderate especially for people with kids. Good thing there are a million pizza places in NYC to choose from in NYC so I don't need to come back here.

Very rude staff, rudely told me to go find a cup when I asked for tap water with my pizza - despite them having reusable mugs for their coffee machine. When I asked for espresso they told me the machine was broken, so I asked for drip coffee and they huffed and snarked back that the "machine" is broken. Somehow the espresso machine being broken means drip coffee is also broken...Couldn't recommend less, extremely rude. Pizza was also very avg, definitely overpriced for the quality

The pizza is pretty good but especially around lunch time the main cashier can be very rude. Maybe he thinks I’m a student since there is a high-school nearby and the high school students can be a little rude themselves but it doesn’t excuse his behavior. Along with regular rudeness he also recently tried to charge me 9 bucks for the lunch special because it was 2 minutes before lunch time while for the person behind me he was kind enough to let them know that it wasn’t lunch time yet and they need to wait (2 minutes) to 11:30 to order, for me he was ok with me paying 9 bucks, glad I looked at the total on the machine before paying. So pretty good pizza but since there are many other pizza places in the neighborhood, I don’t go here anymore.
