Amanda DeSapriOctober 16, 2012Great pizza pie NY style! Limited selection of beer, bass is very tame IPA, a buttery beer!
JasonNovember 19, 2015The seating from the 1920is set in a fixed position so a tall guy like me can not pull a seat back so I took my pizza to go.
William HAugust 23, 2014Try the meatballs as a topping - they do this thing where it tastes like they've been simmered in red wine. Delicious!
Danae SimmonsDecember 14, 2014Asked the server what I had to have. His answer was "pepperoni, garlic and fresh basil." It did not disappoint!! Worth any wait.
Tarik HartJanuary 17, 2015If you don't want to wait for a table with the tourists, get it to go and you'll have it within twenty minutes.
Victoria MazzukiOctober 21, 2016Excellent prices for a large pie. Thin crust, shareable, and absolutely delicious!~
EstherJanuary 13, 2012One of the best places to eat pizza in NYC! Even better than Grimaldi's as this last one is too touristic! They are tie on Pizza Food
Jon MooreMay 26, 2019Great pizzeria in a lovely neighbourhood. Nothing fancy, just real good pizza 🍕
Ina LiMarch 5, 2016The long established pizzeria in west village. Long line, long wait and cash on. Pizzas are good and simple
This is a controversial opinion but for a better slice keep walking up to Bleecker Street Pizza. Otherwise just turn the corner and get a dollar slice by the subway.
HashtagNYUAugust 29, 2014You'll definitely have to wait a while, so plan accordingly. But, believe us, it's worth it!
Joshua MintzJune 27, 2010We tried pie 2 ways, and there was hands down agreement that basic pie with mushrooms was the way to go! AMAZING. Ashamed I waited nearly 2 years to hit this spot given my pizza obsession.
David GreenbergerJune 1, 2015Good, old school Pizza. If you're in the area though, is put Joe's up against it any day
Probably the best pizza in New York City, possible the world.
Daniel GreenbergSeptember 21, 2014Heading to get a great pizza pie! Every so often you need to give a little more effort than a slice!
Stephanie KimFebruary 8, 2012Hands down the best traditional pizza in NYC. Amazing amazing! (salad over at Patsy's is better though)
Chris ThunJuly 3, 2014Classic and cheapie NYC pizza experience, visit divey John's Pizzeria down in the Village.
Bella BirchJanuary 2, 2015pizza's good- nice thin crust. However, some of the crust and the basil was burnt.
Jon ReidNovember 30, 2010Goooooood staff. Nice. The medium pizza is just right for two hungry people. First time here, and I'm a new yorker by birth. I will definitely come back!
Ryan PaulMay 31, 2017Great pizza, the medium size is plenty for 2 people. I'd probably pass on the salad, it was pretty mediocre.
Curtis ShoungAugust 16, 2014As good as advertised. 38 bucks for two medium pies. Fed 4 of us perfectly.
- Joshua HirschOctober 25, 2011Coal ovens were banned in NYC b/c of great fires of 1776 and 1835 but John's got grandfathered. Learn more on our Greenwich Village food tasting tour. Sidewalksofny.com
Don't mess around. Large plain pie is the epitome of pizza.
ドーラMarch 7, 2011Always crowded and pricey, but for the fresh garlic, sweet Italian sausage and mushroom toppings, it's worth every minute and every penny.
heather bJanuary 4, 2011Awesome cheese pizza and meatball, tomato and basil pizza (cheese on PIZZA is the Best)...huge servings, fun atmosphere, and fast service!
Order a pepperoni for pick up instead of waiting in line. It'll be ready in 10 minutes.
JessicaAugust 15, 2010I heard this place was the bomb so i had to check it out when i was in town...bring ur appetite - u can only buy a pie - no slices! But def worth it =)
Hyewon YiJuly 28, 2013I wasn't impressed. A good deal, but I didn't think it was the best pizza in NYC. I like the authentic ambience however.

"Definitely in my top 3. Crust is perfectly crunchy, sauce is well-seasoned & cheese is melted from big chunks. Go with a friend and split the sicilian grandma, sicilian vodka and an artichoke slice."
