    Supremo Pepperoni Pizza Large

    This place is incredible! Staff is super welcoming and friendly, and our food was BOMB! We had the signature supreme (honey under the cheese -perfect sweet/heat/salt combo) and a burrata salad - 10/10, highly-recommend!!!

    This place looks very clean, cute and inviting setup. My daughter gave the regular slice a 3.5 out of 5 haha, she liked my pesto slice better. I really enjoyed my slice, but I felt it was over priced. It's not an authentic Italian slice, so $5.50 is a bit over the top for me. However, compared to all the other pizza spots in the area, I'd say this is the best one. The staff is extremely pleasant, appreciated that. I would come back.

    margharita and pesto slice

    Amazing food!! Definitely nee to come and try their pesto slice with fresh burrata or margarita . They also opened up a new location on the corner of church and rogers!

    Swiss Slice popped up less than a year ago and they have decent pizza. My biggest issue is their sauce & crust. I wish the sauce was 10 year with a fuller taste. The crust is incredibly crispy!! I'm partial to a more doughy crust. Compared to the other pizza in the neighborhood this is establishment is expensive. However, it's also some of the best pizza in the neighborhood. Staff is friendly and makes a great pizza. 4 stars because it's not a 5 star pizza/food doesn't deserve 5 stars. But I'll definitely continue to eat at Swiss Slice!

    This is the 2nd brainchild of the owners of Ciao Bella cafe. The pizza is honestly so good. It's hard to stay away. I normally get a regular, pepperoni, or Sicilian slice. Then there was that one tipsy time I bought an entire pie and fed my family. Lol It fried good to support young business owners who are invested in the neighborhood.

    One of the owners of Ciao Bella, a beloved coffee shop around the corner from this new pizzeria takes a step towards his expansion into the neighborhood with the opening of The Swiss Slice. This stretch of Nostrand Ave needed a good slice joint and this place is filling that void with fresh pies and calzones, with raclette cheese and other Swiss menu items on the horizon. The name comes from the story of the co-owners, who met growing up in Switzerland. What started as a joke project between the two business partners became a real life business, but only after hosting what was basically an audition for seasoned pizza professionals who knew their way around a pizza oven. This process has proven fruitful because the slices are light, fresh, and have me inhaling a slice in moments. The crust is on the thinner side, and so tasty that none was left behind on my plate. The cheese and sauce taste as fresh as the owners so carefully intended them to be. The space is quite large and filled with about a dozen tables, so you can sit and enjoy your pies or take your slice on a walk like a real New Yorker. You can also admire the work of the multi-hyphenate owner, who painted the mural on the wall and is also the drummer in an awesome band. I'm looking forward to all the new menu items they have planned for the pizzeria, and if the margherita and plain that I had was any indication, everything coming out of their kitchen will be fantastic.

    Recently came here for the 2nd time (1st being at a Yelp Elite event back in December 2021) and had a good time. There was no wait to order a Margherita slice (my go-to) along with 7 wings (a mix of Buffalo and BBQ). The food was heated to perfection and I was able to dine in. One thing that I did notice was that I wasn't asked to present my ID and proof of vaccination. It didn't make me uncomfortable, I just figured it was required to dine in anywhere in the city. Anywho, the restaurant is clean and I enjoy the sayings plastered on the wall. I will be back here eventually just not so often (pricey overall).

    Once my family was in the mood for pizza and we didn't want to go out, we had ordered delivery from Swiss slice (through UberEats). When it arrived, we were happy with how gooey and melty the cheese was. (There is a nearby pizza place which has a place in our hearts but the cheese is relatively dry). So I decided to do in person next time I was in the area. The location is very close to two buses (b44 and b12) and the Winthrop train station on the 2/5 line. Sunday-Thursday it is open until 10 pm, Friday and Saturday it is open until 11 pm. I came around 9:30 pm on a Thursday. In the store they only had pizza like bbq chicken and pepperoni plus their non pizza options such as chicken wings (with the option to add flavors like Buffalo), mozzarella sticks and beef patties. More items are available earlier in the day (ex: garlic knots) but compared to other local pizza places it focuses on only a few appetizer options. One thing that might turn some people off is the price (3.95 pretax for pepperoni). Especially if you are used to dollar slices and similar. But I would argue that the quality is better enough to maybe justify having higher prices. Your mileage may vary. The decor was cute plus they had seats, Standing tables to eat your food in store. Also, since they were closing soon, they were nice enough to give me an extra slice. A great treat after a long day.

    I had two really GREAT slices at the Swiss Slice! The staff here are really friendly and my order was ready in no time. I like that they have a seating area to enjoy your meal. Overall this place is great, and seems to be welcoming to the community.

    A solid 3.5 stars. The crust is a tad drier than I like.. the sicilian pizza is not good. The grandma is the best thing they've got going there. The staff is friendly and its right around the corner. That's the only reason I frequent this place

    Damaged pizza on arrival. What's the point of eating pizza with no cheese!?!?!?!
    Whitney L.

    Very disappointed in my experience at the Swiss Slice. I ordered a Margarita Pizza and not only did they give me the wrong pizza, it arrived with all of the cheese and sauce fallen off. Pretty much your worst fear when ordering pizza delivery. Don't order from here, try somewhere else!!!!

We ordered the burratta pizza and a margherita pizza. While I was most excited for the burrata, the margherita was the winner for me. The pizza in general hit the classic nyc slice that I grew up with, thin, crisp, and the right balance of cheese and sauce. Given the lines, if Im in the area I can see myself going back, but also feel there are other places throughout the city that would provide me the same taste Im looking for. Especially when considering how crowded the inside can be that its hard to find a spot to stand to eat (luckily there are counters and high-tops but they can be very crowded). They did have a cantaloupe ice cream that seemed really intriguing which would be something I'd likely come in for. The people I did see get it seemed really satisfied, and it felt like a unique flavor that I haven't seen many places offer.

We got the margherita and the no. 3 special and I really liked both! The toppings were great and the crust was delicious. The margherita was my favorite and getting a slice with a good amount of cheese on it was simply amazing. Service was good in taking our order and explaining the menu.

    Decent sauce, nice toppings, but what's up with the soggy crust?…read more Being wanting to visit this famous pizza spot for the last few years. Came here in the past and always a line out the door so didn't bother. Finally had a chance to try yesterday for late lunch with a friend when there were many empty tables inside, so no line and no waiting. We ordered a medium Margarita based pizza with pepperoni & roasted peppers toppings. We were really surprisd the pizza came out in less than 5 minutes after waiter served us our drink order. Upon biting into it, right away what popped up in my head is 'why is the pizza crust so soggy?' Maybe the knife & fork on the table should've been a dead give away. One saving Grace is the sauce does have a sweetness to it, not tangy like some other famous shop in the Village. And also the 2 toppings were tasty enough to save this dining experice. Before leaving the restaurant, asked our waiter about the crust, he said since restaurant wasn't busy, the kitchen had already pre-made the pizzas, so it was just a matter of heating it and bring it out, hence the fast service. Pro-tip: next time (a big if for this reviewer), one must ask the crust be 'well-done,' in order to get its texture to the desired degree of cripiness that one should expect from what should have been an iconic pizza place in NYC.

I tried looking up this pizza from Target Richfield for a review, but it sent me to the NYC location, so forgive me if this review is in the wrong thread. Anyway, wow. I've been to New York City and ate at the original Joe's Pizza. What an epic slice of pizza. Now back home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the great white north of snow that never ends, I finally tried the frozen Di Fara pepperoni pizza from Target no less. Sorry Joe's, but this is on par with your pizza (if it was frozen). Dave Portnoy was right with his high review. This pizza is very good. The thick cut pepperoni, great basil, and the crisp chewy crust was excellent for a frozen pizza. Nice under carriage as well. I cooked the pizza at 480 degrees in an electric pizza oven for 10 minutes, and the result was very good. I added a drizzle of hot honey, and it was spectacular (okay, I also added some fresh picked jalapeños as well). The pizza was hot and melted in the center, and the crust was very crisp, but still had some chew. Wow. This was the best frozen pizza I have had. Bar none. New York, you spoiled me when it came to pizza. Now I can get a taste of New York at home. Great job! I may or may not eat the last 3 pieces currently sitting in the fridge before bed.

He would pull the pans with his bear hand out of the oven and generously drizzle olive oil from a rustic copper container over every pie. He would then meticulously inspect the dough for bubbles. Then pop back in the oven for the imported olive oil to permeate and create a beautiful glistening coat. And once cooked he would then graciously cut basil on top of the pie. Dom has now passed but his legacy continues. I've always compared the then pie vs now. And like most things,, nothing beats the original. This is still a very good slice. I once rated them as the best in NYC. Unfortunately, its not at the very top but still on the podium. Coming back feels like you are saying hello to an old friend. If you haven't been, you have to try at least once.

I do wish the toppings were a little heavier but the tomato chunks in the sauce tasted very fresh. A very classic New York style pizza and I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese. Vegan garlic knots were great too.

    Grew up in New York, but have been in Texas for 50 years. With very few exceptions, Italian food in…read moreTexas is not particularly /ut B/ /hen I/ /tic I/, is overpriced, and fails miserably when compared to Northeast Italian food. So, eating at this restaurant before the Bruce Springsteen concert, the other night was a thrill. Ate with lifelong friends. We shared several appetizers, including meatballs, a margarita, pizza, bake clams, and spicy shrimp. All were delicious. I had a seafood pasta with squid ink that was memorable. Lots of seafood and the pasta was fantastic! Nice bottle of wine at a reasonable price. Good service. Frankly, I think the prices were cheaper than what I pay in Austin area, and the food and venue were authentic and much better than in Texas!

    Patsy's Pizzeria delivers where it matters most: the food. I stopped in with a party of three…read morearound 430pm. The Margherita pizza was perfect. Fresh mozzarella, a nicely thin crisped crust, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh basil makes this simple pizza taste great. The fried calamari also impressed. It tasted notably fresh--light, clean, and not overly chewy like pre-frozen versions can sometimes be. While I can't say for certain, it had that just-prepared quality that makes a difference. The Caprese salad was a great way to start the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, and a balsamic drizzle was a nice light start. The atmosphere leans old-school Italian, which adds to the charm and character. Service was fine--nothing remarkable, but no major issues either. That said, my overall rating takes a big hit solely for the restaurants ridiculous tipping policy choices rather than the food itself. The automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill was frustrating. The menu does indicate that 18%, will automatically apply, or will be 20% for parties of six or more. We were only three people, so it felt inconsistent and unnecessary. On top of that, the added cost for credit card usage didn't help. I don't mind tipping for good service! In fact, I tip well--but I prefer having the choice and I'm old school so it's the principle of the matter. Being forced into it, takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Bottom line: the food is strong and worth trying, but the billing practices leave a bad taste. If those were adjusted, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.
