  • One of the top questions I get asked is, "who has the best slice in NYC?" Well, I'm here to answer that question once and for all. My two top contenders are within minutes of each other in the West Village: Joe's Pizza and Bleecker Street Pizza. Joe's Pizza opened in the 1970's and has built a solid reputation. It was featured in Spider-Man 2, which further catapulted its popularity with New Yorkers and tourists alike. Bleecker Street Pizza opened in the 2000's and has quickly become a crowd favorite for its unique crispy & crunchy crust and numerous topping options. The Food Network even hailed it the "best slice in NYC" for 3 years in a row. Which slice shop reigns supreme? The old school slice shop or the new-ish kid on the block? Come along for this food adventure!

    I moved to NYC from Texas in 2017 and Bleecker is waaaay better than Joe’s! The Nonna Maria is my favorite pizza ever! I moved back to Texas and I miss it every day 😢

    You absolutely have to do something with the sound/micro... apart from that, it's a great video😊. Even if there are better places like Jason O has already commented.

      What are some of your favorite spots in the city?

    Joe's is a classic slice but to all the visitors - you can definitely get much more flavorful NY and Italian style pizzas. Lucali, L'industrie, Di Fara, Rubirosa, Best Pizza (in BK), Una Pizza Napoletana, Scarr's, etc are all incredible. The most notable differences come down to the cook - wood and coal-fired ovens are just simply better, the flavor and acidity of the sauce (not too sweet, not too bitter, well-seasoned and not bland), the quality of the cheese (real fresh mozz and parmigiano as opposed to processed cheeses), the flour used for the dough and the proofing techniques to get just the right amount of crisp, airiness, and chew. There's so much to appreciate in a good pizza but you have to know where to go.

      Couldn’t agree more.
      Comparing Apples to Apples, Scarr’s, Best Pizza, and L’industrie are slice shops.
      I loved Scarr’s and Best when I went.
      We actually filmed EARLY episodes there.
      Another great slice shop is Mama’s II in the Upper Westside. If you haven’t been, I recommend.
      Whole pies, Jualianna’s and Grimaldi’s are personal favs. Also Song E Napule and Sottocasa have top notch pies (those are Neapolitan).
      Thanks for watching! If you have any recommendations you’d like us to showcase let us know!

      Those are places have bomb ass pizza and objectively “better”, but Joe’s is exactly what I’m looking for in terms of NY Pizza. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I love Bleecker Street Pizza. Their Nonna Maria slice is the best. The people who work there are nice and their prices are reasonable compared to other places. They also have a variety of pizza slices and other things. Its easy for me. Bleecker Street Pizza over Joes.

    • @APieceofNewYork

      Both were great
      I gave the edge for Bleecker as well for the reasons you mentioned also
      More variety, better flavor, service was phenomenal as well.
      Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
