    Oversized slice of cheese pizza....

    Went to the Bronx today and grabbed a slice of pizza. Now I've heard tales of giant slices of pizza found in the Bronx but I never had the pleasure, until today. This is the biggest slice of pizza I've seen. This thing was massive. I did not measure the slice but one can easily see this thing is huge. It also tasted pretty good. This does not appear to be a fluke. I heard these slices have been around for a while and with its size and taste it will be around fir even longer.

    I am reporting this pizzeria for being dirty! I've purchased pizza from this place before but today will be the last time. My pizza was given to me in a box with what looked like bird poop on the side and cover. They knew this was inappropriate because the box had a joke on top. Since I wasn't the one who picked up the pizza, this was realized too late. I saw this mess, after eating and I became so nauseous and had to fight the urge to vomit. The box has a different name on it for some reason. See below!

    Have you noticed that slices have been getting bigger all over the city? Not sure if it's because of Covid or what. At any rate, the slices here are huge, it's almost ridiculous. The owners a nice guy too.

    I've always heard about this place, but being a Brooklynite I wasn't going all the way to the Bronx for a slice of pizza. Question: How did I make it here? Answer: I work in the area. I mean a slice bigger than your head for $3, you can't beat that! Slice so big it doesn't even fit on a plate. When it's about to be payday and you're scraping together money to feed yourself, at least if I come here.. I'll be full until I get home from work.

    This is by far the most unexpectedly good pizza I've ever had. Does not even need any toppings! And the Slices are not big, they are gigantic!

    I've been coming here since I was a kid. The pizzas are huge and taste great! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a tasty slice.

    March 2008: don't ask me how to pronounce it.
    Peter K.

    Don't ask me how the name is pronounced. "El Jubo?" "Luh Jubo?" "Jubo?" My brother bragged about the size of their slices for years. I decided to try it out on an early Saturday afternoon. Inside the store front is a small narrow corridor with a bunch of stools, where you can stare at yourself while eating your pizza. For $2.50 you get a large slice; it's not a joke (see photos). It tastes pretty copasetic; would it win best pizza in NYC? No. Largest pizza in NYC? Possibly. You should see the pies. They are so big they spill out of the boxes. Considering the rising cost of wheat, pizza prices will rise everywhere. I could see this place being very busy during the week (ie Lehman high school students and those who work in the area). I like the fact that their slices illustrate good value. The meter maids in Westchester Square are on foot and are always on the move. Be sure to feed the meter or have a friend move your double-parked car. I saw an excited customer leaving with a pizza pie turn his smile upside down as he got a parking ticket. IFHTP 3+

    This doesn't even do the slice justice! It's so enormous!

    The GOAT of Bronx Pizza. Period…read more If you want to know what real New York City pizza is supposed to taste like, stop looking and get to Louie & Ernie's on Crosby Ave. This isn't just a meal; it's a Bronx institution. The Vibe: Old School & Authentic This place is as "old school" as it gets. It's located in the basement of a house, and walking in feels like stepping back into 1959. There are no fancy decorations or "artisanal" gimmicks--just the smell of fresh dough and a gas oven that's probably seen more history than most museums. * Pro Tip: It is CASH ONLY. Don't be that person who gets to the counter with a card; come prepared. The Pizza: The Best in the Bronx I've had a lot of pizza, but this is easily the best in the borough. * The Crust: Paper-thin, perfectly salty, and has that signature "Bronx fold" with just the right amount of char on the bottom. * The Sausage: This is their claim to fame. They use huge, fresh chunks of sausage that are packed with flavor. It's heavy, it's greasy in the best way possible, and it's legendary. * The Sauce/Cheese: The ratio is perfection. The sauce is tangy and bright, and the mozzarella is creamy and never "rubbery." The Service The staff here are exactly what you want in a legendary neighborhood spot--friendly, fast, and no-nonsense. They keep the line moving, but they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. Verdict: 10/10. It's simple, it's classic, and it's the king of the Bronx. If you haven't been, you're doing NYC wrong.

    It's a decent slice. I don't live in the area but came for a ride to check it out because there…read morewere some pretty glowing reviews. Nothing wrong but just a pretty typical slice of nyc pizza. For a place that does slices there's a LOT of searing options, both inside, and this area out the back which is pretty good.

I think people only go here because they know about it, or like us, find it randomly on Google maps. There is a little parking lot. The pizza and pasta were both good. NYC style!

It's got a thin crust, nicely charred, and the sauce was well balanced, not too tart or sweet. We followed with a penne vodka slice to which I added the recommended hot pepper oil. The pasta was cooked just right and quite tasty and chewy. Finally, I had to try the new tricolor slice - thick stripes of red sauce, vodka sauce and pesto. Delicious combo. Pugsley's is not easy to find but definitely worth seeking out. If you attend Fordham, you already know it, but otherwise, its located in a building that hasn't changed much - outside or inside - that looks like a high school hangout from the 60s or 70s.

As one should. I ordered the Pasta al Forno, which showed up hot, cheesy, and very much not interested in being subtle. Comfort food doing the absolute most -- baked, sauced, and bubbling like it knew it was the right choice. One would think "Boiled eggs in pasta?", but trust me, the bechamel sauce takes it to the next level. Ms. J. went for the daily special: Radiatori in Cartoccio, cooked inside a sealed pocket of aluminum foil and opened tableside like a little pasta reveal. Steamy, aromatic, and frankly a bit of a showoff -- in the best possible way. And then there was the Tiramisu. We shared it (heroically), and I'm just going to say it: top-tier tiramisu. Not too sweet, beautifully balanced, rich without being heavy -- one of the best we've had in NYC, and we do not make that claim lightly. We both love tiramisu. We both judge tiramisu. This one passed with stars. Zero nonsense, big flavors, and a tradition that continues to age very well. We'll be back. Obviously. ‍

After you get situated with finding parking, better yet, take mass transit if you can, you'll find a non descript pizzeria. It's CASH ONLY ** they have ATM's inside for your convenience, which I had to use and I think the fee was 2.50$ but I'm not sure. The pizzeria slices are HUGE.-ginormous- colossal!! I thought it was going to be superficially large pizza with a horrible taste. ON THE CONTRARY - NO! The pizza was delicious and I found the salt content to be reasonable, perfectly salted. I paid 38$ for the super sized pizza. My kids devoured it, while my wife took pictures of of the kids eating their kite sized pizza slices. I highly recommend this "Bronx Style" pizzeria.

But the fact of the matter is the quality of the cheese and dough is not up to par. The pizza resonates of low quality mozzarella cheese and poor quality bread. I've been eating here on and off for many years and the quality of the product has deteriorated. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they wanted to "try that place that they heard of on social media or from a friend who ate here 20 years ago. it's just not worth it. They are better pizza places in the Bronx (Circle, Yankee Pizza, Ernie's, Tony's on Throggs Neck, Pugsley Pizza)z If the owner were able to improve on the pizza by incorporating better quality ingredients, I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't even mind if they charged seven dollars a slice for that mammoth slice because it is very very big. But in its current incarnation, I would have to pass on a second round. It's just not worth the money because the taste and quality of the slice is so poor. What happened?!??
