Stanton Street Pizza

Everyone has their favorite pizza and this is by far mine. It is your basic, no frills, NYC pizza pie and you can't ask for more than that. Though I don't live in the neighborhood (which is probably a good thing) I make a point to grab a slice every time I am nearby.

Stanton Pizza is the epitome of "mom & pop" shops! Walking over from an awesome Yelp Elite Event, I'm greeted by a husband and wife behind the counter, slinging $2 slices with a smile while their adorable daughter sits on a stool nibbling on tiny pieces of cut chicken cutlet.When it's my turn to order, I snag one plain and one buffalo slice, readying a $10 bill to pay. To my surprise, I got $5 back (cost was only $2 for the regular and $3 for the buffalo...) The plain slice was good, but the buffalo slice had both buffalo sauce and blue cheese mixed together to create a delightfully creamy yet spicy sauce that topped the chicken pieces perfectly!Service was friendly and more than you could ever ask for...coupled with reasonable prices and great pizza, this little pizzeria is definitely worth a visit!

Stanton Street Pizza is one of the many “dollar slice” pizza places scattered like old chewing gum on the sidewalks throughout the city. I dashed in one day before realizing what it is. Formerly a decent place for a quick slice in the neighborhood, this place has gone down market and it shows. Tiny slices with unsatisfying ingredients, this place is only suitable for people on a very tight budget, like the middle school kids that flock here in the afternoon when class lets out. I’m not against a quick, cheap slice when done right (*see Don Alphonso’s on Grand st.), but at the end of the day there’s a floor for how cheap you can go and still produce a quality product. This place, like the others of it’s type (I’m lookin’ at YOU 2 Bros), has found it.
