“This place has quickly become my go-to neighborhood slice, and I genuinely look forward to stopping in every time. The pizza is consistently amazing — Thin, crispy, hot, & so satisfying. It honestly reminds me of the pizza I grew up eating back home in Jersey, which makes it extra special for me What I love most is the variety; They always have such a great selection of slices, and sometimes I secretly hope they’re a little low on plain cheese so I can try something new — Bc every time I do, I end up loving it. The Caprese slice is especially delicious (and somehow feels lighter + fresher if you’re trying to get some greens in) Beyond the food, the staff here is incredible. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, & clearly works really well as a team. On one visit, one of the guys working there noticed me and casually asked what I wanted to drink & brought me a water :’) Such a small gesture, but it really meant a lot & made me feel so taken care of The space itself is cozy and inviting, and they recently renovated, which makes it feel even more open & comfortable. I love sitting in the back and looking at all the photos, decor, & little mementos while waiting — It gives the place so much character & warmth Overall, this spot never misses; Amazing pizza, great energy, & genuinely kind people — If you’re craving a solid slice, this place delivers every single time”
— Pooja Hanagandi“A true hidden gem. Best pizza in NY. We love dropping in for a slice and we ended up ordering Joe and Sal’s for our casual rehearsal welcome party before our wedding. Everything was amazing and they even threw in extras. Their communication, kindness and of course the food, was above and beyond. Thank you Joe, Sal and your team for being the best!”
— Alexis Eftink“Really tasty slices!! Loved the service, there was abundant seating on a weekday night, and the Italian music was a great touch to the atmosphere, highly recommend and I will be back to try their full pies”
— Evon Shay“Really friendly people & the flavorful pepperoni had an excellent crispetycrunchety bottom (a perfectly cromulent word and I’m talking NO sagging) with still a nice bready end crust. I’ll be happy to pay 4.50 a slice again! Oh and a good amount of indoor seating.”
