Joe's Pizza

7 Carmine Street, New York, NY - (212) 366-1182
These are not "gourmet" or "artisan" pizzas. They're just regular old pizzas cooked in a standard gas oven, with one important difference: they taste good. The crust is thin, and good eating right to the edge (but no charred crust here). The sauce is light and tomatoey, not thick and sweet. The cheese is dairy-sweet and toasty. The Sicilian, especially if you're lucky enough to get a slice cut from a fresh-out-of-the-oven pie, is a large rectangle with a light, airy, crunchy crust.

If you want a taste of old-time New York City pizza-by-the-slice, Joe's plain slices are the way to go.

Fresh mozzarella, a surprise at a slice joint and worth the extra quarter when compared to Joe's regular mozzarella slice.

Joe's is most definitely a food-of-the-people kind of place, with no pretense whatsoever.  Be prepared for crowds, jostling, and that unique brand of New York
