Joe's Pizza

Greenwich Village, New York, NY 📍 Maps

Joe's Pizza is a true Greenwich Village institution, a no-frills slice shop that has been serving classic New York street-style pizza since 1975. Founded by Naples-born Pino "Joe" Pozzuoli, the walls are covered in photos of celebrities who've stopped by for a slice, a testament to its enduring appeal. It's a place where the focus is entirely on the pizza, with a constant flow of customers ensuring every slice is fresh out of the oven.

★ The Legend
Plain Cheese Pizza
This is the quintessential New York slice, known for its thin, crispy crust that holds up without excessive flop, a balanced sauce-to-cheese ratio, and a slightly sweet, vibrant tomato sauce. The consistent quality and high turnover mean you're always getting a fresh, perfectly cooked slice.
◆ Fan Favorite
Pepperoni Pizza
Regulars often opt for the pepperoni, which adds a rich, savory depth to the classic cheese slice. The pepperoni crisps up beautifully, releasing its flavorful oils that complement the sweet tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella.
◇ Hidden Gem
Sicilian Square Cheese Pizza
While the plain slice is the most famous, the Sicilian Square Cheese Pizza is also recommended by New York Magazine and appears on the menu as a classic option, offering a thicker, satisfying crust.
Insider Tip

First-timers often overlook the importance of a quick reheat. When you order a slice, always ask for it to be reheated; this ensures the crust is extra crispy and the cheese is perfectly melted, elevating the experience of a classic New York slice.
