What makes it special: Fast slice-shop utility in the Times Square orbit.

When to visit: Mid-afternoon or late night
What to order: Cheese slice, pepperoni slice, garlic knots
Insider tip: Go for a fresh pie if you’re feeding 3+ people.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No on-site parking. Street parking is extremely limited; nearby paid garages are the realistic option in Times Square.
Dress code: Ultra-casual—whatever you’re already wearing. Jeans, sneakers, backpacks all fine.
Noise level: Loud and fast-paced—expect constant foot traffic and kitchen noise.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes for slices; 15–20 minutes if ordering a fresh pie during peak Times Square crowds.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait—order and move through quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—cheese slice, plain pie, and limited veggie-topping options.
Vegan options: Very limited—no dedicated vegan cheese; toppings-only adjustments possible but not guaranteed.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free pizza or prep area; not suitable for gluten-free diners.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—this is a functional slice stop, not a linger-and-talk setting. Better as a quick bite between plans.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there’s no reservation system. Seating is first-come, first-served and often limited; many people eat standing or take slices to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for all ages—simple slices, fast service, and no patience required. Best for elementary-age kids and up; stroller maneuvering can be tight.
Best For
Better for: Speed, price, and zero-planning pizza when you’re navigating Times Square with a group or family.
Skip if: You want sit-down comfort, artisanal pizza, or dietary accommodations—look to calmer neighborhood pizzerias instead.
