Master Critic Review

Pizzarito N.Y. Pizza By The Slice 8.8
Marina del Rey
Pizzarito has been serving New York–style slices in the Marina for decades, drawing a devoted following for its crackly crust, tangy sauce, and generous toppings. With hundreds of Yelp and Google reviews and late-night hours, it functions as the neighborhood slice shop people actually go out of their way for.
Must-Try Dishes: Sicilian square cheese slice, BBQ chicken pizza, Garlic knots
Scores:
Value: 8.7 Service: 8.2 Consistency: 9 Food Quality: 8.9 Atmosphere: 6.8 Cultural Relevance: 8.6
What makes it special: Old-school, New York–style slice shop with decades of loyal regulars.
Who should go: NY-slice fans who care about crust and sauce
When to visit: Afternoons and late nights for fresh pies and slices
What to order: Sicilian square slice, ricotta and basil slice, garlic knots
Insider tip: Bring cash and ask which pies just came out of the oven.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Large shared Marina Marketplace lot with plentiful free parking; rare peak-hour congestion near the grocery entrance but usually easy to find a spot.
Dress code: Very casual — tees, hoodies, gym clothes, and beachwear are all common.
Noise level: Generally low to moderate; you can hold a conversation easily, with occasional spikes during school let-out hours or weekend rushes.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes for ordering; slices move quickly, though whole pie orders can take 15–20 minutes.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, even at peak lunch; occasional short line that moves quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple veggie slices and a reliable cheese slice are always available.
Vegan options: Limited — no dedicated vegan cheese, but plain marinara slices can be made without cheese on request.
Gluten-free options: No true gluten-free crust; not recommended for strict gluten-free diners.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual hang than a formal first date. It works for low-pressure meetups or quick slices before a movie, but it's not a romantic setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it's counter-service with open seating. Tables turn over quickly, and most guests take slices to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — families stop in often, and the quick service works well for younger kids. No high chairs, but seating is informal and flexible.
Best For
Better for: Fast, authentic NY-style slices at low prices, especially when you want something quick without sacrificing quality.
Skip if: You want gourmet toppings, artisanal dough, or a sit-down pizzeria experience — this is a classic slice shop, not a chef-driven concept.
