A high-volume slice shop that hits when you want fast, old-school New York style with a strong rotation of square options—plus Italian ice that actually earns the second half of the name. Treat it like a quick-hit counter stop: grab two different slices, then cool down with a small ice.
Must-Try Dishes: Pepperoni slice, Grandma slice, Margherita slice

What makes it special: Strong NYC slices plus legit Italian ice in one stop.
Who should go: Slice hunters and fast Midtown eaters.
When to visit: Off-peak afternoons to skip the rush.
What to order: Pepperoni slice, grandma slice, a small Italian ice.
Insider tip: Go one triangle + one square slice for the best texture contrast.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No dedicated parking. Metered street parking is limited; nearby garages available but pricey. Best accessed by walking or transit.
Dress code: Casual and practical — jeans, sneakers, work clothes all fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate to loud — constant counter traffic and oven noise; fine for quick chats, not long conversations.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes during peak slice rush; faster turnover than sit-down spots.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or under 5 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese, margherita-style, and some rotating veggie slices.
Vegan options: Very limited — typically no dedicated vegan slices; Italian ice is dairy-free.
Gluten-free options: No — standard NYC slice shop with wheat-based dough only.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the goal is ultra-casual. It’s more about quick bites than lingering, but it works for a low-pressure, daytime or post-event stop.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system — it’s counter service with limited seating. Expect to stand or take slices to go during busy hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick stops. Simple slices and Italian ice are kid-approved, but seating is tight and stroller space is limited.
Best For
Better for: Fast, affordable NYC slices with real variety — especially square slices — plus Italian ice in one stop.
Skip if: You want a sit-down pizza experience, quiet atmosphere, or broader dietary accommodations.
