Joe's Pizza - Carmine St

I'm not sophisticated enough to explain why it was better than similar pizzas, but it was. It just had the right amount of bite and crispness on the crust and flavors were just right. I only tried the basics, cheese and pepperoni but they were good. The price was fine, service was fast, they only took cash but there's an ATM. Would I walk miles to have this pizza if I lived in New York? Probably not. There are pizza places everywhere and unless you are going to the dollar slice places the pizza will be decent. However, it would be my preferred slice if convenient.

So much good can be said about this classic New York pizza shop. Joe's is a spot where your slice (or pie) is exactly as good as the last time, and the time before that, every time. The restaurant is located in the heart of Greenwich Village, so you can expect a lively and fun atmosphere every time you stop by. As there is limited seating, if the weather is nice, grab your pizza and head over to nearby Washington Square Park and take in the iconic views served up by Mother Nature while you enjoy the greatness of Joe's. As an added bonus and If you're lucky, you just might run into a local NYC celebrity. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of meeting both Matt Damon and Adrien Brody! Super nice guys who enjoy a classic New York pizza. Very cool and without a massive entourage. *Joe's is cash only- don't forget to bring cash or there will be no pizza for you!

Amazing pizza place. The cheese pizza was good but the pepperoni was much better. Very local type feel. The line moves fast and you better know what you want. We were able to sit at the counter looking out at the street and fountain. Felt very much like a local eating here. The pizza was my favorite pepperoni in the city. I accidentally put more garlic on my pizza thinking it was Parmesan cheese. Make sure you know what toppings you put on the pizza.

First, they're cash only. In a battle of Joe's vs Bleeker St., Joe's wins in my book. Good ratio of cheese to sauce. Sauce has a strong tomato flavor and isn't sweet. The crust has structure. Cheese has just the right amount of brown-ness to it. Ordering is fast and you're in and out the door in a couple minutes.

We ate here on our first trip to New York. We were just trying to get out of the rain and thought we would try them out. The pizza was delicious! Loved the famous people photos who had ate there on the wall. I would recommend this to anyone visiting New York. This location is close to One World Trade.
