Quintessential NYC slice shop serving up a classic New York-style pizza. A go-to for a no-frills, satisfying bite.
FAMOUS JOE'S PIZZA is a classic NYC slice shop with a long-standing reputation. While many praise its traditional New York-style pizza, particularly the original Carmine Street location, others find it to be overhyped or inconsistent. It remains a popular choice for a quick, no-frills slice that captures a taste of classic New York.
Known for its New York-style pizza by the slice, customers often praise the classic taste and thin crust. However, some reviews mention issues with consistency, with occasional complaints about the pizza being too thin, floppy, burnt, or having an overly sweet sauce. The pepperoni cheese slice and plain cheese slice are frequently mentioned positive options.
Customer feedback is divided, with many hailing it as a classic and essential NYC pizza experience, while a significant portion finds it to be overrated and inconsistent.
