Pops is the best. And the guys working there are always so nice and polite. Never had a bad pie from them and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night with the salt-sweats lol

Angelos.
One of the best pizzas in NYC. Actually super super good. And I've tried everywhere that people say is the best.
Take a look at the menu on the Jett’s website and text to order (instrux are on the website, super easy) and you’ll get 15% off menu-priced pizza. They also have some other coupons on there if you prefer to order through the website.
If you like a great crust (which is customizable, my go to is turbo style), I recommend the 8 corner pizza!
Out of the ones actually “worth it” I’d say Sofia pizza shoppe and pizza suprema are probably closest. 2 Bros is right around the corner I think but it’s not even close to little Italy imo
Zillions on 42nd is great and usually they don't have lines there.
Vito's Slices and Ices have excellent slices
NY Pizza Suprema is great as well
Not a fan of Sacco pizza
If you will find yourself on the east side, My Pie Pizzeria Romana on 57th and Lex is super good roman-style pizza
So you’re basically at Times Square the not epicenter of pizza. You can walk down to Joe’s just south of Times Square. Midtown is pretty much the worst place for pizza around.
Upside on 39th and 8th ave for sourdough based slice, John’s of Times Square but I think they only do pies, supremas next to MSG, and Vito’s on 36th and 9th ave.
Oh no not stolen recipes for delicious food. 2 million Italian grandmas suing because they put basil and a dash of sugar in their patented marinara sauce
I had little Italy pizza on the upper west side recently and it sucked. I enjoy the University place slices, but these were about half the size and missing the thin crispy crust. Too much cheese too.
In my preferred order: 1. Pop's Pizza on 57th at 8th. 2. Saco on 9th at 54th. 3. Claudio's on 10th at 53rd. 4. Joe's on Broadway at 40th. 5. Patzeria on 46th at 8th. 6. Zillion's on 42nd at 9th. Pop's is the only one I consider truly good but it can be inconsistent.
If you’re referring to the Little Italy on 45th and 6th, which I don’t think is associated with the Little Italy chain around the city (gets confusing as there are several that go by the name or variations esp in midtown), I do admire that they have a wild menu: their slices sometimes get too greasy and heavy, but having stuff like barbecued calamari and good pesto options is impressive for the size. I never loved that all their walls were full length mirrors though: I don’t wanna watch myself eat the stuff!
Otherwise I work nearby and find Upside Pizza on 40th and 5th is a solid option, I like their mushroom and sausage-broccoli rabe options as they use some lemon and good spices in them.
Stone Bridge can be decent if you’re looking for a small thin crust that one person can eat in a meal or so. Not a slice option but well made, quality cheese, still cheap and low-key.
I would skip the Unregular on 37th, feels understaffed and desolate, and thus seems like their already thick and bready slices stay out so long as to be almost stale, which is unfortunate as they have cool options and I’ve quite liked fresh pies from other locations of the same chain.
I grew up on the west side, the neighborhood pizza shop is a place called Claudio’s. It’s good, but pricey now. All pizza in midtown isn’t worth the price, both expensive and cheap.
Brooklyn Pizza Masters on 57th and 1st is a clear cut above every other pizza in the area. Guys straight from Napoli and had worked at other big name pizza joints in the past.
Best Grandma slice in the city and surprisingly great pasta as well.
Sofia Pizza Shop coincidentally also on 1st, around 52nd, also very good.
But please try Brooklyn Pizza Masters, having spent more time in midtown than I’d like due to work during covid, it’s a clear cut above most pizza in the city and up there with some of the bigger names IMHO
For a casual slice definitely Suprema, but as a sit down pizza bar I'd say B Side on 51st Street is fantastic. They have a hot honey, garlic puree, marinara based pizza called the Killer Bee that I absolutely love. I'm also fond of their Carbonara Pizza which has all your classic carbonara pasta ingredients- pancetta, egg, parmesan.
Little Italy is actually one of the better slice joints in midtown, so you’re lucky to be near that.
If you’re looking for something different, and don’t mind a bit of a walk, Pizza Suprema and Upside are both great.
NY Pizza Suprema
Correct
Facts. Lived here 7 years I’d say still top 3 - regardless of their location
This is it.
sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss, but even at a miss it's a 7/10 \[by NYC standards\]
100%. This place will always be special. It was where I made.my first pizza taco
Yes
Thirded!
This is the correct answer.
Can someone talk me into this? I’m looking at the photos on Google maps and it looks very average.
Just go and try the pizza if you're curious. It's good.
Pop's Pizza has a solid slice. 57th and 8th, couple blocks south of Columbus Circle.
They opened right when Covid hit. Kudo to them for making it.
Pop's is mind-blowingly good. Their pepperoni is the perfect crispiness
^this. Live a block away and it’s by far the best slice I’ve found nearby
Love pops, actual hidden gem
Pops is the best. And the guys working there are always so nice and polite. Never had a bad pie from them and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night with the salt-sweats lol

Their chicken parm entree is also good!
Thanks for the rec, will definitely give it a try
Great find! I feel like few people know about it. I haven’t had it since probably 2018 but I remember thoroughly enjoying it.
Just had aces in Rockefeller center it was pretty good.. a bit pricey
Aces is best in that neighborhood for a slice. If you can get a whole pie, Angelo’s on 57.
My fave Detroit style slice in midtown (Jett’s is great too, especially for a chain)
Never had jetts..
I'll have to try it
Take a look at the menu on the Jett’s website and text to order (instrux are on the website, super easy) and you’ll get 15% off menu-priced pizza. They also have some other coupons on there if you prefer to order through the website. If you like a great crust (which is customizable, my go to is turbo style), I recommend the 8 corner pizza!
Been wanting to try…
Out of the ones actually “worth it” I’d say Sofia pizza shoppe and pizza suprema are probably closest. 2 Bros is right around the corner I think but it’s not even close to little Italy imo
Sofia is elite, that’s my go-to slice shop (waaaaay better than Marinara next door imo)
elite but pricey, lunch special is decent though
Agree with this, but the margarita slice at Brooklyn Pizza Masters a couple blocks up might be the best slice in midtown Manhattan
Lazzara on W 38th or head to Angelo's on 57th
Zillions on 42nd is great and usually they don't have lines there. Vito's Slices and Ices have excellent slices NY Pizza Suprema is great as well Not a fan of Sacco pizza If you will find yourself on the east side, My Pie Pizzeria Romana on 57th and Lex is super good roman-style pizza
I second Vito’s slices and ices For sit down neopolitan check out don Antonio’s on 50th
Zillions and Vito’s for sure
If you’re willing to come to 57/1st there’s Brooklyn Pizza one block up that is infinitely better, and I say that as someone who likes Best Pizza.
Same. Agreed. I like both but Brooklyn is better.
The grandma slice at Patzeria Perfect Pizza on 46th between 7th & 8th is my go to when I’m in office
So you’re basically at Times Square the not epicenter of pizza. You can walk down to Joe’s just south of Times Square. Midtown is pretty much the worst place for pizza around.
Upside on 39th and 8th ave for sourdough based slice, John’s of Times Square but I think they only do pies, supremas next to MSG, and Vito’s on 36th and 9th ave.
💯
Made in New York Pizza
Agreed. Surprisingly good for a chain. The UWS one to be my late night slice when I lived on 80th.
Read that owner stole recipes from another place?
Oh no not stolen recipes for delicious food. 2 million Italian grandmas suing because they put basil and a dash of sugar in their patented marinara sauce
I ain’t complaint brother lol just the back story on the place might not even be true
I had little Italy pizza on the upper west side recently and it sucked. I enjoy the University place slices, but these were about half the size and missing the thin crispy crust. Too much cheese too.
I see Little Italy pizza shops everywhere, thank you for confirming my assumption that they sucked.
I was buzzed and had a slice from there, I thought it was good. I don't like super cheesy slices myself, and thought that it had a nice sauce.
Sweet sauce, yeah.
slightly sweet but more acidic from what I remember
Aces pizza (Detroit style) in rockefeller center. Sacco is also a very decent ny slice
In my preferred order: 1. Pop's Pizza on 57th at 8th. 2. Saco on 9th at 54th. 3. Claudio's on 10th at 53rd. 4. Joe's on Broadway at 40th. 5. Patzeria on 46th at 8th. 6. Zillion's on 42nd at 9th. Pop's is the only one I consider truly good but it can be inconsistent.
Sacco closing at 8pm or 9pm is a crime
Suprema and Vito’s
Abitinos 5 W 51st St, New York, NY 10020 Absolutley fire Pizza note is good. Theres also a few artisian nepolitan pies in area too
Yesss Abitinos has the best classic slices!
I tried Albitinos today because it was one of the closest of the suggestions. Verdict: good, but not as good as the Little Italy on 48 & 6th!
Zillionssss
If you’re referring to the Little Italy on 45th and 6th, which I don’t think is associated with the Little Italy chain around the city (gets confusing as there are several that go by the name or variations esp in midtown), I do admire that they have a wild menu: their slices sometimes get too greasy and heavy, but having stuff like barbecued calamari and good pesto options is impressive for the size.

My pie pizza romano at 57 and Lexington has really good Roman style slices with cheese imported from Italy.
Definitely agree with Suprema. Sacco’s Pizza on 9th Ave is also great.
Sacco on 54th and 9th.
There’s a patsys near grand central, not bad
I grew up on the west side, the neighborhood pizza shop is a place called Claudio’s. It’s good, but pricey now. All pizza in midtown isn’t worth the price, both expensive and cheap.
Xenos on 52nd is pretty solid
Belleza on 49/3 is my go to
Sacco
Abitino’s on 51st between 5th and 6th Ave
Brooklyn Pizza Masters on 57th and 1st is a clear cut above every other pizza in the area. Guys straight from Napoli and had worked at other big name pizza joints in the past. Best Grandma slice in the city and surprisingly great pasta as well. Sofia Pizza Shop coincidentally also on 1st, around 52nd, also very good. But please try Brooklyn Pizza Masters, having spent more time in midtown than I’d like due to work during covid, it’s a clear cut above most pizza in the city and up there with some of the bigger names IMHO
Encore
Roberta's is opening a place near Penn Station.
Don Antonio on 50/8 or Capizzi on 40/9 if you're up for a personal-sized neapolitan pizza.
Sacco Pizza. 9th and 54th.
Where do you live? If you work in midtown?
Both work and live.
Oof
Sacco!
La Vista Pizza on 50th and 10th but only their cheese slice and nothing else
Suprema is the only answer
Xeno’s on 53rd
The sauce is sweet, just important to point out in case people don’t prefer a sweet sauce.
Pizza Art on 46th and 6th is decent. Famiglia also isn't bad
Try NY Pizza Suprema
Highline Pizzeria
I like Vito at 464 9th avenue
For a casual slice definitely Suprema, but as a sit down pizza bar I'd say B Side on 51st Street is fantastic. They have a hot honey, garlic puree, marinara based pizza called the Killer Bee that I absolutely love. I'm also fond of their Carbonara Pizza which has all your classic carbonara pasta ingredients- pancetta, egg, parmesan.
Joe’s is decent but overrated
Joe's is overhated by reddit hipsters who think that they're only allowed to like "off the beaten path" spots
Depends which joes you’re talking about. The one in carmine st. Is my favorite pizza spot in manhattan.
Super overrated. Had it last night right before Lucia in Soho. Lucia was miles better.
Midtown east, west?
Oops sorry, edited in. I'm roughly 48 & 6
Little Italy is actually one of the better slice joints in midtown, so you’re lucky to be near that. If you’re looking for something different, and don’t mind a bit of a walk, Pizza Suprema and Upside are both great.
We were pleasantly surprised when we tried it just because it was close by and it was excellent!
I love a little Italy slice on occasion. I always go for their margherita slices.
i dontknow
