Where I'm from it's hard to find a decent pizza that isn't exhorbitantly overpriced (and even most of the overpriced ones are mid) so when my friend from midtown said their favorite location was Joe's on 14th I figured if they considered it worth the 28 block treck then I had to try it. Although I like a fancy pie, sometimes all you need is basic, which was the case this fine night. So 2 slices of pepperoni it was. The pie just came out and I love a fresh slice, which was niiiice. I enjoyed the pics of celebrities on the wall while I devoured my delectable slices.
Pizza. OKAY. The Slice was DECENT but it definitely fell short in flavor compared to what they serve at the original CARMINE STREET location. Felt the same drop in quality at their FIDI location when I ate there a few years ago. WALK DON'R RUN
I have to admit something embarrassing. I've never had a slice from Joe's Pizza. I know it's considered THE definitive slice of New York pizza. I've walked by their original spot in the West Village many times over the years but never stopped by. So why this location? It was only because Jamie W and I were meandering around Union Square. It was busy inside, but hey, we decided to indulge ourselves. I just figured we could share the $6 slice of the Supreme, the highest priced item on the menu. That's because it had a combination of pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, red onion, green pepper, and mozzarella on a thin, well charred crust (Photo 6). Pretty straightforward, right? We snagged a hi-top table and devoured it pretty equitably. Satisfied? Yeah, Joe did good by us. Legendary? Well... FOOD - 4 stars...solid slice, no complaints AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...like any compact pizza joint SERVICE - 3 stars...no time for chit-chat TOTAL - 4 stars...Joe, where ya been?

One of the best places to eat traditional NY pizza! Been here multiple times and always perfect! Regular cheese slice is the way to go! Spider man was also filmed here
I got hangry waiting on a never-ending waitlist at another restaurant. To curb my hunger, we stopped by Joe's Pizza for a quick slice. I knew Joe's was reliable since I was a regular at the Michigan location back in college and loved it Initially, I wanted a slice of fresh mozzarella, but the ones on display looked cold and sad, and I noticed they were not reheating slices for the people in front of me. Luckily, the person ahead grabbed the last pepperoni slice, so I pivoted immediately. A few minutes later, the fresh pepperoni pizza came out of the oven. It was warm and satisfying, though the pepperoni looked more raw than crisp. It was a standard, good slice, but nothing mind-blowing. I'd only recommend fresh out of the oven. A slice of pepperoni was 5.50, which is reasonable for NYC, but I'd be livid if I got an old and cold slice.
Yes, I eat a lot of pizza... Joe's is a reliable choice for a regular or pepperoni slice when I am in the neighborhood. Location convenient to Union Square, East Village, Gramercy.
If you're ready for a true New York pizza experience, Joe's Pizza in Times Square delivers -- even if it means waiting a bit for it. On a Friday night, the line can stretch out the door and the wait can feel long (we're talking classic NYC crowd levels), but trust me -- it's worth every minute. Once you finally get up to the counter, you'll see why people flock here. The pizza is everything you hope for from a slice in the city that does pizza best: a perfectly thin, foldable crust with that ideal balance of crispiness and chew, just the right amount of sauce, and gooey, flavorful cheese that doesn't quit. Each bite tastes like it earned its reputation. The staff work the Friday night rush like pros -- efficient, friendly, and always with that unmistakable New York attitude that somehow adds to the charm. Even in the busiest moments, they keep things moving and keep the energy high. Yes, the line on a Friday night will test your patience, but when you're handed that first hot, delicious slice? You'll instantly know why Joe's is a Times Square staple.
Hot take? The regular cheese slice at Joe's is good but unremarkable, but the fresh mozzarella slice is near-perfect. The latter has a robust, savory-tangy sauce, puddles of mozzarella, and a very thin, crispy, medium-char crust. It's almost, but not quite, hot enough to seriously burn the roof of your mouth. The former has a sharper cheese that is tasty but somewhat overpowers the tomatoes. The slices are on the bigger side, but they're a bit expensive at $4.50 (regular cheese) and $5.50 (mozzarella). This is a small space, but there is some limited seating. Around lunchtime on a recent December weekday, I was able to find a window seat, although just a few minutes prior there were no seats available. If coming at a busy time, be prepared to potentially eat while standing in a random spot or take your pizza to go. The pizza's good enough that you won't be too bothered.
Such a solid NY slice. Thin crust is crisp and fantastic and passes the flop test, it's cheap, you know exactly what you're getting. This would be a great late night spot or quick bite.
Always an excellent fresh slice of pizza! 14th St. or on Carmine Street, enjoy! Worth the wait if there's a small line, absolutely.
This is a staple! It was my first time in the New York area because there is one back in michigan as well. I know this is the OG and honestly pretty good thin pizza. I was get the moz and the line does get long. We went at a good time. The ambience is good hard to find seating. A lot of people stand
Joes is a New York staple. If you want a simple perfect New York slice Joe's is the never the wrong answer. Service was fast, fresh and a typical NYC experience. Staff had their NYC vibes but like a typical New Yorker always willing to do a little extra for a kid obliging my 2 yr olds request for her slice to be cut into pieces. I grew up in the city but my daughter has not and this was her first New York slice the sauce and cheese all over her face says she gives it 5 stars. Love the vibe of the restaurant everyone in and out pizzas being pumped out and the people coming in and out making the small restaurant a hub for happy pizza seekers.

Joe's Pizza is the real deal. This is the slice people are talking about when they say New York pizza. Big, crispy and holds itself up perfectly when you fold it, no flapping, no drooping, just a perfect slice the way it was meant to be. You get it fast, hot and fresh and for a New York minute everything just makes sense. The best part is there are tons of locations all over the city so no matter where you are in Manhattan you are never too far from a slice. As someone from Florida this place is almost heartbreaking because now I know what I am missing every single day. Joe's Pizza ruined me in the best possible way and I would go back every single trip without hesitation. read more

Came here for late night pizza (after midnight on a Saturday) and were quite satisfied! My bf and I were visiting from out of town and had lots of pizza while we were here. We determined this was our second favorite place! I got a margarita and he got a pepperoni. Service was relatively quick. I wished the pizza had been warmed up a little more, it was still slightly cold and the mozzarella wasn't melted as much as I like, but the crust was thin and crispy, and it hit the spot. Overall would recommend! Ambiance was quite cramped and messy. We were lucky enough to find seating since we came with a rush of people, but it cleared out enough by the end that there were plenty of places to sit and no line. read more
I come here a lot, and honestly, I couldn't tell you why. Sometimes it's a straightforward lunch stop, other times it's me stumbling home three drinks deep and somehow still finding my way to the door like my body's running on autopilot. Like the one ring pulling toward Mordor, I end up back in the fiery pits of this pizza, scalding my tongue on a slice fresh from the oven like I'm catching a burn straight from the Eye of Sauron itself. One slice to rule them all. There's a real reason it keeps pulling people back in, beyond just my own questionable late-night decision-making. Joe's has been slinging classic New York slices out of Greenwich Village since 1975, when Joe Pozzuoli, an immigrant from Naples, opened the original spot on the corner of Bleecker and Carmine. It's since landed on GQ's list of the Best 25 Pizzas on Earth, shown up in a small pile of movies and TV shows, and expanded to a handful of locations around the city and beyond, all while somehow keeping the exact same no-frills identity that made it a Village institution in the first place. Joe's is a true staple. Consistently hits the spot, doesn't miss. Service is fast and furious, prices are more than fair for what you're getting. Do it right and eat your slice standing up outside, ideally next to some trash cans, for the full authentic New York experience. There's other pizza out there, sure. But who are we kidding. Every time I try to leave, they just pull me back in. read more

A 5 min wait at joes pizza is a win for me at this location. All the other locations I went to made me feel exhausted just seeing the long line. I went on a week day at around 3pm so probably not just crowded with tourists. I got the white pizza and it was great as usual. I wouldn't compare it to a gourmet pizza but it's just a solid New York style pizza. My mom compared the crust to a crispy naan - she loved it!! read more

This location is near Union Square. Small place, got crowded at times with customers lining up to order then waiting (not too long though). Got lucky getting one of the tall tables, which can seat 4 people; some counter seating by the walls and windows. Be ready to share the space. Saw white pizza pie fresh out of the oven so I asked for a slice but was given one from another pan. First few bites were good- crust was crispy and thin, but it cooled right away. By the time I got to the last 1/3, it was dry and crust was chewy. Saw how excited some customers were about the place and I wish I liked it more. Pepperoni was more popular so my son got a fresher slice. read more

Joe's Pizza was on our list of food spots during our visit to New York City. Originally, we planned to go to the location on Broadway. While we were walking around, we stumbled across this location in East Village around 4PM. My boyfriend and I got one slice each to try. I kept it plain and simple and got a slice of pepperoni cheese pizza. He got the supreme. After we selected what we wanted, the staff heated them up and served them to us quickly. Solid slices of pizza. A bit pricey for two single slices of pizza though. There was seating available inside the restaurant, but it was a bit busy inside with other customers eating already. So, we took it to eat outside. I liked that the walls had pictures of various celebrities that have visited and tried the pizza. Very cool! read more
Reminiscing on National Pizza Day by sharing the memory of being in the East Village area and venturing up to Union Square for a slice of their popular Margherita slice. It was not crowded at all and it was cash only. I found a spot to stand and devoured my slice which hit the spot before the commute home. read more
This is place is one of my favorite places! Joe's pizza has the best NY pizza! Thin crust with a crispy bottom. One can find a crispy crust when getting the first slice from a fresh pie right out of the oven. If not the first piece from an uncut pie, ask them to throw it in the oven again. A double-baked slice is always a winner. Tomato sauce is flavorful and tasty! Add cheese and other toppings! Always a winner here! Staff are friendly. Has a few tables and bench tables & seats. Always a great place to stop by for a slice of pizza for a snack or meal! read more
Finally tried Joe's Pizza in the East Village after hearing all the hype--and honestly, it was a little underwhelming. We showed up around midnight and there was a long line out the door, so expectations were high. I grabbed a plain cheese slice, which had a solid crust and was good, but not anything that really blew me away. It wasn't bad by any means, but definitely not something I'd wait in a long line for again. I'm not sure if it's just the late-night hype or NYC nostalgia factor, but overall, the pizza was fine--just not what I expected given how popular this place is. If there's no line, sure, grab a slice. But if you're standing outside wondering if it's worth the wait? I'd try it once as a tourist and let you decide read more
The place was so crowded on a Saturday night and it made sense. The walls were decorated super cool with pictures of celebrities at the restaurant. My favorite slice I tried was the supreme. This was a really great first time nyc pizza experience. read more

Still a go to, on east 14th. Happened to be there when it opened, 10am, in case you were wondering. Got a cheese slice and a pepperoni one. With the pepperoni, it actually is almost perfect, as their sauce and cheese has less salt, which I appreciate. Great chew on the crust. The slice is always quickly delivered to the counter and cash scooped up by the cashier. The pics from the flagship hang on the walls. The anti-fascist stickers outside abound. Great spot. read more
We went to Joe's for the Spider-Man reference and left feeling satisfied and full. Joe's is a good example of NY style pizza. Thin crust, foldable, good sauce. The white pizza was pretty oily and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while, but the slice of cheese was really good and if I was in the neighborhood and craving a slice I'd hit up Joe's for that. read more
Since I had to come out in this rainy weather, I popped in to Joe's pizza for a spot of lunch. I chose a slice of pepperoni and mushroom which is $6.50 and daylight robbery. However, when I sat on a stool to eat it l, I found to my surprise that it was actually 1 & 1/4 slices. I attribute it to the heavy rain outside and that I was only the second person in the pizzeria. Eating it hot while listening to Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues" made this much tastier. I rarely come here as I prefer Cello's. read more
As we landed in NYC - the first thing that my gf and I wanted to do was to taste an authentic NY slice - and what better way to get that started besides the renowned Joes! From the cozy indoor seating, the line out the door, and the plethora of celebrity photos, this place is a landmark of NY. We had a traditional pepperoni, spinach and garlic, and I believe a slice with ricotta cheese dollops. All we nice and crispy, with that foldable CRUNCH you're looking for a in a traditional NY pie. To be honest with you, we've tried many other places in NY known for their pizza, but nothing beats an American Classic like Joes read more
Not much to say that hasn't already been said about Joe's - it's an iconic establishment for a reason. They are still churning out the best slices in the city consistently. I hadn't been to this location (only ever sat in at the Joe's on Carmine) and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of places to sit and shove your slice in your face. I went with the classic pepperoni and was in and out within 15 minutes. It really is just the best. Incredibly thin, perfect amount of grease. Know your order as you approach the counter and be ready to pay. They take apple pay! Enjoy your 'za stop. read more
The iconic Joe's Pizza. I am so happy I got to stop here while in NYC and best of all I got to experience it in the snow. How iconic can it get? The pizza came out hot and fresh. So delicious we had leftovers to bring back to our hotel and let me just say that the pizza box survived the snow back to the room. read more
Excellent slices and fast service! The tomato sauce was really tasty as well. Even with a mine you will move through it really fast. They have inside and outside seating which is great. Would come back again for another slice! read more
