Nolita Pizza
7.9
Co-founded by a Bleecker Street Pizza veteran, this counter-service spot elevates the neighborhood slice with imported ingredients, house marinara, and properly aged mozzarella. The gluten-free options are legitimately good, and the late-night hours make it a go-to for after-hours pizza cravings.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not unless your date loves no-frills slice shops. It's counter service with minimal seating - perfect for a post-bar bite or casual hangout, but save the romance for somewhere with tablecloths.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations needed - it's counter service. They now have indoor seating and a bathroom, but most people grab slices and go. Walk in anytime, open until 5am on weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for a quick slice - kids love pizza and there's no fussy atmosphere to worry about. Just be ready for standing-room energy during busy times. Great for refueling between NoLita shopping.
