Overrated, overpriced. It's decent but not up to the hype. Definitely not worth the long line or $5+/slice. It's iconic somehow so try it once if that's important to you but I wouldn't sacrifice a whole meal on this pizzeria
I ordered a regular slice and had the first slice of a pie that just came out of the oven. The tomato sauce was the freshest that I have ever tasted in a pizza shop. I am impressed. I could see why Joe's Pizza gets its reputation. The gentleman serving me was jovial. His outgoing nature made my evening. There was a long line getting into the shop, but it moved fast. The shop interior looks outdated, but the countertops and floors were relatively clean.
Iconic ny pizza Can't believe it took me this long to try them out but the pizza here did not disappoint. Tried cheese, pepperoni, and sicilian. I liked sicilian the best. Pizza is paper thin, warm and cheesy, and you end up ordering more. Service is efficient and to the point. I managed to find seats inside but there's generally limited seating inside or you could take your pizza to the park across the street. All in all, highly recommend. Remember to bring cash and start with 2 or 3 slices since you'll end up ordering more if you only get one slice.
Fresh slice of Cheese Pizza!! Always hot and always so good!! It doesn't get better than Joe's
Joe's Pizza is undeniably popular, with locations all over the city, but sadly, on our mission to try as many good NYC pizza spots as possible, this was the first one that felt pretty mid. We ordered a classic cheese slice, and it didn't live up to the hype. The undercarriage lacked the satisfying crispy and the sauce was very average, overall a letdown. I wouldn't miss it if I never have another slice.
This was my first time trying a New York pizza and it was SO GOOD!! I know others have said there's better pizzas out there, and I'm sure there are, but I was not disappointed with this being my first one. I was boring and got pepperoni and but was good and huge! I somehow love how thin the crust is and I had to fold it in half like a true New Yorker. The restaurant itself is very small and crowded and there are some standing tables outside so don't expect to be comfortable. Just stand and eat It's also very affordable!
No notes. Absolutely perfect. Best plain slice in New York. Not sure what else I can say, but Yelp requires me to add 85 more characters haha
New York City, home of the pizza slice! :) Seriously i had a craving for a good slice of pizza and i stumbled upon Joes Pizza on the map. When i arrived there was a line, so i knew the pizza was good and fresh. A small pizzeria with some standing tables, usual toppings shakers, even security probably for the crowds. Slices are huge! I chose pepperoni and cheese slice. But there's so many others. Crunchy soft crust, just the right amount of cheese and sauce. The pepperonis were big and tasty. I've already visited twice! Don't get discouraged with the line to order, it goes very fast! Also don't forget CASH USD they do not accept cards. Enjoy ! :)
Bro, it's Joes Pizza. What more is there left to say? Want a piece of heaven? Order a cheese slice and a coke. You will absolutely not be disappointed. Just remember, space is tight, service is quick. Can you literally handle the heat in the summer? If so, this locations for you. Cheers to that NY slice we can never get enough of Yelpers xx
This was our first slice of mediocre pizza in NYC. This is the Joe's chain in West Village. It's quick at the very least and $4.50/slice for the cheese. The underside was a bit overcooked and the sauce was fairly average. 3/5. It didn't have a line unlike its neighbors.
6/10 White w/ Spinach, Supreme, Fresh Mozz Slices - Uh I don't really get the hype around this. It was honestly hella mid tbh. The bread was just okay, and where was the sauce on this thing because it was basically non existent. Seriously all hype and tourest trap!!! Cost - $6.00 - $7.00.
First time trying this place & it was one of the experiences you wont want to repeat at again. Worst customer service, really rude, treated me and my friends as shit. I get it, you guys are probably tired working there because it's aways busy but should treat anyone like. I work in a restaurant too and I have never been able to speak to someone the way they did to us. Disappointed
Being from the west coast, we really wanted to enjoy true NY pizza. Our plane landed late and by the time we got to our hotel, it was 930pm. Hungry and tired from traveling all day, we ordered a large pepperoni from Joe's from a recommendation of the front desk of the hotel. Called for delivery. They quoted us 35 minutes. The pizza was at our hotel within 20 minutes. It was hot and exactly what we wanted. Thin but chewy crust. The slices had the perfect ratio of a robust tomato sauce, melty cheese and pepperoni. The pizza also came with garlic, oregano, and red pepper toppings that were so perfect being on the side because our 5 year old sometimes won't eat pizza with "the green stuff" on it. After we ate it, we realized it was from the same place that Peter Parker aka Spider-Man worked and delivered.
Joe's Pizza is NYC is truly an institution. With six locations located across NYC-it's become a staple for both tourists and locals alike. For a tourist, have you truly even had New York pizza if you haven't had a slice from Joes? This location is probably the first Joes I'd ever been to many years ago. It's not my favorite location, that honor would definitely go to the Times Square location, but this location will always have my heart. So many times I've gone to this location on a weekend night after spending time in Greenwich Village at the Cellar or a bar in the neighborhood. This location is open till 4am and it's on the way to the subway station. So generally walking back to subway, we would jump into this pizza shop, grab a slice of pepp or fresh mozz and pay cash, as this location is cash only. Then back on our way to subway while eating the slice. The entire stop and transaction taking less than five minutes and I'm as happy as can be with a classic NYC slice in my hand. These guys at Joe's are the best and I will always love them for being there. Favorite slices from Joe's 1. Fresh Mozzarella 2. Pepperoni Slice 3. White Slice 4. Plain Cheese 5. Sicilian Square So yes, I fully recommend if you find yourself in Greenwich Village and you're feeling a bit hungry, I'd stop by this pizza shop but remember to bring your cash. PS--Joe's Pizza was the shop featured in the Spider-Man movie way back in the day. read more
If you don't like Joe's, you need to take a good, long look in the mirror and ask yourself if you just don't like NY pizza. You might not--and that's okay! Not everyone can have good taste. If you do have good taste, however, Joe's is the prototype. And for what it's worth, probably the tastiest thing to come on a paper plate. Each slice comes out fast and hot, and is a perfectly calibrated specimen of light, snappy, and above all, delicious. It's a true classic, and even the price (under $5) seems like a throwback. read more

I went at an off time and there was no crowd! I got the cheese, and I would give the flavor a 6/10. Flavor was a bit bland but the pizza had the perfect amount of crispiness and the crust was amazing! Staff was also very friendly. read more
Every New Yorker has a pizza opinion, and today I went straight to one of the legends. Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village has been serving up authentic NYC slices since 1975, and after one bite of their original plain slice, I understood why tourists and locals keep lining up. The plain slice was everything a New York slice should be--simple, crispy, cheesy, and absolutely perfect. Then my sons convinced me to step outside my comfort zone and order a mushroom and sausage slice. Not gonna lie, I was skeptical. One bite later, I was wondering where this combo has been my entire life. Outstanding. Even the ambiance is everything you want in a pozza shop. Lesson learned: Sometimes your kids actually know what they're talking about... but don't tell them I said that. #JoesPizza #NYCPizza #GreenwichVillage read more
Believe the hype--this is the best New York-style pizza in New York City! I went to this location because it was closer to my brother, whom I was visiting. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to visit the original Times Square location. I've heard it's an absolute madhouse. So if you want to try the famous Joe's Pizza, head over to the low-key Brooklyn location. You'll get the same amazing pizza without the Times Square crowds and photo-op chaos. read more

On everybody's NY pizza list. Solid slice, outdoor high tops, and quick service. Yes, Joe's has "the fold" down and we always enjoy stopping by Joe's for a quick slice on our way to our next stop. read more
You can't come to New York and not grab a slice at Joe's Pizza! There was a line when we got there, but it moved pretty quickly and was absolutely worth it. The pizza was hot, crispy, and delicious, simple New York-style pizza done right. Great spot to grab a slice and experience a little piece of NYC! read more
Ordered the fresh mozzarella and Sicilian. Both sauces had a fresh tomato taste but I think could be sweeter, it was very mild. The Sicilian was a crispy square and the fresh mozzarella was a solid slice. Overall good slices and texture but the sauce could be improved read more

You have to go make a stop at Joes when in New York. I love getting my pizza fix here and it never disappoints. Staff here was friendly, pizza was delicious, and service was fast. read more
While joes is iconic I will say it is a good slice but nothing stand outish. To me it's a good slice to grab after a long day of work and turning off your brain and just enjoying pizza in the city. Love the ambience of every Joes I've been to but nothing stood out to me. read more

I'm not sure why they aren't getting a higher rating on here... Honestly, this was one of my favorite pizzas! The crust was so thin and crispy, and it was so yummy and freshly made. The only thing that kind of stressed me out was that it's all cash only, so I was a bit scrambling for my cash when I got to the front, which is my highkey my fault oops... I really loved Joe's pizza, and I would definitely go back. YAY read more

Very yum and quick service. Open late at night so perfect for a grab and go. Can get crowded during busy hours but everyone's friendly and happy to have tried this staple read more
Late night slice you really can't beat it! As a spider man lover since a kid I couldn't pass up coming here. Classic cheese slice is always the way to go, great ambience late night everyone here from outside the bar. Quick service and funny guys working behind the counter. Can't complain at all. read more

Really didn't live up to the hype. There are lines almost all the time, that's ok. But the pizza wasn't worth the wait. Go to Eataly. Much better. read more
Joe's Pizza is on borrowed time. I wouldn't be able to tell Joe's from any other $1.50 slice in the city. This slice flops badly, there is no structure, no crisp bottom. It's a mushy mess. That quintessential orange hue that is so common of a true NYC slice is nonexistent. Even with a hefty dollop of oregano, garlic, & pepper, every bite of this slice was bland. I walked right in to grab my slice during the afternoon today, sadly I think I found the out the reason why. Service was prompt, the ambiance is NYC. read more

Short and sweet... this place is great. We bring most of our NYC visitors here using Joe's to set the standard. Pizza is crisp, flavorful and bright. Service is fast! Ambiance is fast order, in and out in a steady queue... in and out! Love THIS Joe's! read more
Joe's Pizza delivers exactly what you want from a classic New York slice. Thin, crispy, greasy in the best way, and full of flavor. The pizza came out fast even with the place packed, and the whole atmosphere felt lively and energetic. Definitely one of those spots that feels part of the NYC experience instead of just another pizza shop. The pepperoni slice had a nice balance of cheese and sauce, while the plain cheese slice kept it simple and solid. Only downside is it's cash only, so come prepared. At around $5.50 a slice, it's a bit pricey, but still worth trying at least once. read more

Will Joe's be adding any vegan slices in the future?
a lot of people dont know but They already have an amazing CheeseLESS veggie only pie !!! very very very good.
Can you call and order a pie ahead of time in order for a quicker pick-up?
You can order pickup. They're on a number of services where you can order pickup or delivery without calling as well. I use DoorDash most frequently.
Is there a public restroom in the restaurant?
I did not use one while there but from the layout I would say no. It is a very small establishment.
Is there a place to sit?
It's a small shop so there isn't much seating. There is a table in the middle and counter space all along the walls and window where you can find a few seats (bar stool type).
