Joe's Pizza (Carmine Street)
Joe's Pizza
Established in 1975 in Greenwich Village, its thin, foldable New York-style slices represent the standard taste of the city.
Founded in 1975 by Neapolitan immigrant Joe Pozzuoli, the main shop is at 7 Carmine Street, not far from the original location, and is often regarded as the benchmark for New York slice pizza. The thin crust can be folded in half, and the tomato sauce has a fresh, clean taste. Slices sell for about USD 4, and a whole pie is about USD 28. There are no seats here; you eat standing up inside or take it to the street. It gets busy during peak hours, and bringing cash is more convenient. While reviews in recent years have been mixed, it remains a go-to spot for both tourists and locals. Within walking distance from the W 4 St subway station.
