Quotes
"(Cheese Slice) um, your teeth kind of drag that, like, doughiness, chewiness, that kind of mochi-like texture. It's a beautiful marriage."
"(Pepperoni Slice) The tomato sauce of the pepperoni one was more, a little more zesty, uh, slightly more spicy."
"(Vodka Slice) And lastly, the vodka slice, guys, is this not looking incredible? Same crispy dough, same crispiness."
"Really, really, really good… I really do think that this is one of the best pepperoni slices in the city."
Our Reflection
Prince Street Pizza’s enduring reputation is built on more than just hype. Each bite reveals a careful balance: the chewy, mochi-like dough gives way to a crisp, smoky bottom, while the sauces—whether zesty, spicy, or sweet—bring depth to every slice. The pepperoni’s boldness, the cheese’s sweetness, and the vodka slice’s creamy tang all stand out, yet share a common thread of quality and craft. It’s clear why this spot remains a touchstone for pizza lovers, even as it expands beyond NYC.

Quotes
"Right, next up is Prince Street Pizza. We're on Prince Street. This is the original. It's a favorite amongst New Yorkers. It's not known for the triangle slices. It's more known for their square slices."
"I also will say, their tomato sauce is dark, rusty red here. Like, this is a concentrated tomato sauce. I feel like this is going to be a popper. Wow. It's so different. It's a very heavy tomato-based pizza."
"The actual pizza together are crunchy-based. The tomato sauce is fire. Oh, mate, it's a completely different pizza. I don't think it's amazing. The tomato sauce is jacked. Pepperoni is lacking. Even though there's loads of pepperoni, it's not it."
"It's a good crunch. You can't say no to a crunch. Out of all the pizzas we've had, it's one of the crunchiest."
