Grand Street Pizza

While visiting NYC, my wife and I wanted an authentic NY Slice. We walked by Grand St Pizza and knew we found the place. I got the pizza with vodka sauce and my wife got the classic cheese. Both were fantastic! Crispy thin crust with just the right amount of cheese. We tried other slices in NY while we visited but Grand St was the best we had. Also it was reasonably priced we got 2 slices and a beer for $16. Service was friendly and fast.

Flavorful pizza, beautiful dark wood interior of a small quaint hole in the wall. Good under carriage , thin dough , fluffy but crunchy crust. Would definitely come back with a friend. Oh, and seems like the pesto is homemade and they have a bar 👍🏽🙏🏽

Really nice pizza spot with a bar and some outdoor seating. Tried three slices: plain, burrata, and the white. All really good; a little floppy but the fresh ingredients made up for it. The burratta was restaurant quality and elevated that slice. Add this spot for best slices in NYC

I hit up Grand St. Pizza while on a short holiday in NYC. I arrived around 9pm and sat in at the bar, first thing I noticed was how nice and talkative the staff were. The place was kept really nice and there was brilliant rock music playing on the speakers. I ended up getting two slices of pizza and a pint, thinking I'd have a quick bite and head on my way but ended up getting chatting to the bar staff. I can't recall his name but he was convinced he poured the best pint of Guinness in NYC, while I had my doubts I had to know for sure and alas, I was proven wrong. I had genuinely the best pint of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland in Grand Street and ended up staying here all night. I have to say all the staff are lovely and gave me plenty of recommendations for places to see around the city that would have been missed otherwise. Thanks a million to the guys at Grand Street for being so sound and starting my holiday off strong!

Grand Street Pizza is the most vibe-filled spot in the city. Perfect for chilling, a date, or even a meeting, it’s the go-to for pizza and drinks that hit just right. Rico, the manager, keeps the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming, making it the ultimate hangout.

I'm not sure what kind of NYC magic exists here - the food and drinks were great, and the pizza hit the spot. My friend and I came here after a bar, and were pleasantly surprised by the pizza here. We also got a few glasses of wine and shots. What made the night memorable was the vibe this place had. It was busy - but the bartender was down to earth, and the crowd was great too. We had a great conversation at the bar. Keep in mind, the place is SMALL. Seating is incredibly limited. My friend and I lucked out and got two seats at the bar. Overall, great place - highly recommend.

Great LES pizza shop that focuses on simple, unfussy flavors with an elegant marble bar serving Peroni, Aperol, Campari and other classic Italian drinks. The vodka sauce pizza was a real highlight.

Always walked past this place and was excited to give it a try but was disappointed. The atmosphere and vibes here are nice, however, my friends and I waited nearly an hour for our pizza. When paying we were told it would be a 15 min wait. Later when we asked one of the staff she said I told you it was be 40 min, which she didn’t. Pizza was taking ridiculously long to make and I understand that they could be having a busy night but it’s hard to find a justification for waiting an hour on pizza to bake in the oven. With that said, the pizza was burnt. I could not taste the pizza due to the burnt charcoal overpowering it. Wouldn’t recommend and severely disappointed by bad service + ridiculous wait time + quality of food.

Stopped in for lunch. They have a quaint outdoor area right out front and a small but cozy seating area inside with a couple of tables and bar area. We were serviced quickly and got our slices brought to our table. Prices were decent - about 5 bucks a slice. Vodka - Delicious! Crust was thin and crispy while the vodka sauce was perfection. Margherita - Great amount of toppings! Loved how the tomatoes blended in with the sauce and weren't just slices on top of cheese. Basil was plentiful. Everything tasted fresh. All of the staff was really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Great place to get a quick bite!

Food 10 Girl at the counter 0 Ordered ahead around 6:40 for pickup to minimize the wait time. Arrived at the restaurant at 7:00 and was made aware that my online order hadn't even been seen yet by the staff. Instead of being told "we're sorry and we'll have it ready for you as soon as we can," I was told by the girl at the counter "the order says 7:20, so it will be ready by 7:20." I stood outside the restaurant for 20 minutes. When I went back in, the counter didn't remember me. I told her that she said 7:20 and was told "we're busy and it's not ready." 20 more minutes standing in the restaurant and I was handed my pizza. All the counter girl said at that point was "do you need plates?" Look, the pizza is amazing but you cannot treat customers like this. At no point did she say "I'm sorry". A mere shred of service would have gone a long way. Instead, I got none. The pizza was delicious of course...it was everything else which left a bad taste.

Might be the best pizza joint in NYC. I'm holding off on making that official because I just tried L'Industrie this past week and think Grand Street is better, but I want to give L'Industrie one more shot when I can try it fresh.

Hidden gem in LES. So so delicious I think about it from time to time and come back. Had the vodka and pepperoni pizzas and both were delicious. The dough is the right amount of chewiness and thickness. I usually don't like eating crust, but I really enjoyed eating theirs. The topping to dough ratio was perfect. The best thing here is their spicy honey. I couldn't stop dipping my pizza in it.

This is a great slice, one of my favorites I've had in the city. Cool interior as well

A snazzy pizza spot. 4 for pizza 5 for vibes. Mostly a small bar but has a counter that sells pizza slices. Very vibey - I liked the concept. Could be good for certain dates (keep in mind there's a lot of moving traffic from ppl getting pizza but it's not loud; prob awk to try to canoodle here tho). Pizza was very decent, classic thin crust. I think Joes might still be slightly better? Comparable, so very good. Joe's is oilier with larger pepperoni pieces. Come here for cozy late night pizza vibes not at a pizza shop

I wouldn't have minded eating another slice. That's already a good score in my books, because my pizza cravings are usually fulfilled after a couple bites. Grand Street pizza has the thin crispness and light airiness that you would find in an absolutely top tier slice. Texture wise, it's almost up there with Lucali. While a very impressive score, I think they just had slightly above average flavors. The cheese was good but nothing remarkable, and the crust wasnt something I wanted to eat (flavor of the dough). The basil, tomato, garlic slice had fresh ingredients but the preparation didn't really draw out the full flavor profiles that I wanted to taste. Still though, this is a really good pizza and I'm honestly being picky because I'm comparing it to Lucali as we speak. This is worth going to for sure and is a slice shop im satisfied with giving a 5* rating.

Pizza here is honestly pretty good! They don't have a super extensive menu but they have the staples. I got a cheese slice and the tomato sauce is just the right ratio of salty to sweet. The amount of cheese is also a perfect ratio and not too overwhelming. The crust is baked crispy and soft. I would definitely come back for some slices. The ambience inside is cozy. It's a small place with bar seating and only 2 tables inside so there isn't much seating tbh but there is some outdoor seating. The cheese slice is $3.25 each and the others are around $4. I got my slices to go which came out pretty quick

Vibes here are immaculate. Excellent pizza - tried the pep, vodka, sausage & peppers, and the cheese. All fantastic. Negronis on deck. Sopranos S2 with subtitles a perfect cherry on top.

Honestly amazing vibes here!! I've never been to a slice shop that was so cute. I got a pepperoni slice and a white slice. She asked if I wanted pesto on the white slice which I of course did. I dined in and she brought water over to the table. I'm not in this area super often but definitely would recommend this place. All less than $10!

This honestly might be one of the only solid slices in the city. The pie is thin and uniform, just how I like it. And a plain slice is like $3.54 with tax - super cheap. Also, the vibes are excellent. I hate how barren most pizza spots are in New York, but this feels like you're hanging out with friends.

We just love this place. First off, the pizza is perfect, New York style pizza at its finest. Generally about six varieties available half of which are vegetarian. The staff is upbeat, cheerful and prompt to get you taken care of. Beer and wine selection is very good and the pricing is pretty reasonable. Outside. seating is available but the inside is warm and inviting. The pizza comes out piping hot, give it a minute to cool down a little, fold it in half and enjoy your " slice of heaven". The place is awesome!!

Grand Street Pizza is a small pizza spot squeezed into Grand Street. the interior is essentially a classy cozy beer / wine bar serving up a small variety of pizzas by the slice or pie. first time i stopped in here, it was right before closing and i snagged the last plain slice--the pizza is really on the thinner side of thin crust pizza. there was a lot of flop to the crust (will chalk this up to it being last slice) but the flavors were on point: a balanced tomato and garlic sauce underneath the melted layer of mozzarella atop crust made for that satisfying savory cheesy carb bite that you want in a slice. went back to GSP another day, got another plain slice and the crust was way firmer with just a little flop. the fresh slice still had all the flavors i enjoyed the first time around but on a firmer crispier thin crust. a single slice, here, is more like a snack which is what i wanted. service was friendly and quick bother times around. interior seating is like 7-8 at the bar and two small tables. there's some sidewalk seating, too. great spot to postgame some calories after shopping at the nearby Trader Joe's which is less than a block away!

1/1 Ambience; .5/2 Food; 0.5/1 Service; 0/1 Value My friend and I were looking for a quick late night bite in the LES when we found Grand Street Pizza as a Yelp suggestion. When we first approached and stepped in, we almost turned around because the ambience is reminiscent of a romantic sit-down restaurant while we just needed a speedy slice. It is absolutely gorgeous inside with a lovely bar, candlelit tables and a dimly-lit charming atmosphere. But that's as far as the merits really went for us. We both got the regular cheese slice because that's all that was left by 11 p.m. The slices are thin and the undercarriage was great, being just slightly charred to my liking. However, the sauce, cheese and overall flavor were bland other than the overwhelming saltiness. The plain crust was also bland, overly chewy and dry, so I ultimately discarded mine. While service is quick, our pizza was served cold further detracting from the experience. Overall, we were both very underwhelmed by the experience. While the ambience is beautiful, the food quality and portion simply did not justify the cost at $3.25/slice as it felt more like a glorified $1 slice.

Food was amazing! We order the whole pie. Pie was sausage and Pepper. So amazing and thin just right. I have to admit it has a lot flavor and was just right. Not spicy and full of flavor. Would totally recommend. It's cheap and 30 dollar for a whole pie. It was able to feed 4 people!

**5 Stars** Grant Street Pizza is no ordinary pizzeria--it's a place where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, where the mundane act of grabbing a slice transforms into something almost magical. The moment you step inside, you're enveloped by an atmosphere that thrums with the spirit of New York City itself. The air is thick with the scent of freshly baked dough, mingling with the sounds of The Grateful Dead and Nirvana, which drift through the room like a spell well-cast. But the true enchantment lies in the hands of the bartender--a figure who could easily be mistaken for a wizard, if not for the absence of a wand. He's a master of his craft, wielding jokes like charms and playing air guitar with a finesse that rivals the greatest musicians. On a screen in the corner, *The Sopranos* flickers like a Pensieve memory, adding to the feeling that you've stumbled into a place out of time, where the past and present mingle as effortlessly as the ingredients in their pizzas. But this isn't just a place for food--it's a gathering spot where old friends reunite and new ones are made. There's a sense of belonging here, a feeling that you've entered a sanctuary of sorts, where the hustle and bustle of the city can be paused, if only for a moment. The bartender is the heart of it all, his energy contagious, his laughter echoing like a charm that lingers long after you've left. Grant Street Pizza is more than a restaurant--it's a slice of New York City's very soul. Whether you're a local or a traveler passing through, this is a place where you can feel the magic of the city in every bite, every note, and every smile.

Honestly really great pizza. I've been meaning to try it every time I walk to target and one day they finally got me. I absolutely love the vibe inside if you were to dine in. It's intimate and kinda sexy but unassuming. I loved walking in and seeing 4 dudes posted at the bar having an intellectual convo over a candle lit pizza slice. I would absolutely come on a date here. Also, the pizza was very good!! I'd consider this a "classic NY slice". It had all the right things. Just greasy enough, foldable, sauced well with plenty of melt cheese. It is a home run for me and I will definitely dine in, and out soon. 5/5

Really really good pizza! Been meaning to come here for a while and finally stopped in today. I'm happy I did because a lot of pizza places in the city are lacking in flavor and the pizza here tonight was so so good. I ordered the sausage and peppers which tasted really fresh and you could taste all the ingredients separately and the classic cheese which was also really good. I'll retry more slices next time! The inside bar also has a cool vibe.

Happened upon GSP as we were strolling through LES and found Rico at the bar and his team dishing out delicious slices, whole pies and beverages in a great cozy bar setting. Rico made us feel like family and this will be our go to spot for delicious pizza anytime we're in town visiting Cheers to Grand Street Pizza

This is not your typical slice joint. It's a bar with very limited seating but they do serve slices. Pizza is fantastic. Great light dough, nice crisp and good cheese to sauce ratio. The service was great and very down to earth.

What they say about this place is true. I came from San Francisco for work & searched for a pizza place close to my hotel. The 5 star reviews will not leave you astray. I came for the pizza (intent was to takeout) but stayed for wine & ambiance. Come to find out that the staff working here is actually soooooo sweet and personable. I will 10000% be back one day. But until then, NY, you can't keep this hole in the wall place a secret. There should be a line out the door for this joint.

Really good pizza. The flavors really stand out compared to other joints I've tried. The flavors are complex, but not too sweet nor salty. The only thing that could've made it an amazing slice is if it were more crispy. The pizza was floppy but I think it was because we got takeout and it sat closed for 3 minutes or so. It was also raining outside. Their service is amazing... they messed up our order but rectified it right away and even gave us some freebies on the house. I will definitely return to have it in person and ask for extra crispy next time.

Staff. Food. Drinks. Dessert. Atmosphere. Fantastic experience all around. Highly recommend it.

This review is not for the food but for the fact that they don't accept any bills higher than a twenty and won't even warn you about it. I had ordered a pie for pickup over the phone (Which came to over $30) and walked all the way there just for the man to tell me he can't accept my bill because it's too big. I tried to find a shop to break it but after 10 minutes had passed I said 'screw it!' as I didn't want cold pizza. For the prices you are charging, how do you not accept a $100?

Consistently good quality pizza thin crust excellent sauce to cheese ratio and sauce to garlic and basil ratio in the tomato basil garlic slice Sausage slice not overloaded with meat, I don't like it when the meat overwhelms the pizza

Best slice in the city by far. Go and try it out! Favorite is the vodka but you can't really go wrong with anything

It's a shame it was delivered to me poorly bc this is one good slice ! I loved the crust. Light , thin and airy with a nice touch of oil I liked. The sauce is lacking in flavor and quantity somewhat but that may be good bc this is not a sweet sauced slice. I'll say the crust shines. Good cheese ratio. I do feel it's kinda pricey at 8.50 for 2 slices via delivery but there's not that many places that allow you to only have 2 slices to be delivered.

Delicious fresh pizza in a cute old-school New York ambiance. Unassuming very small shop but the interior packs a big punch. Beautiful decor, relaxing jazz music, dark moody vibes, kind service and delicious pizza made for such a great experience. Sausage and pepper pizza had the perfect amount of fresh tomato sauce, thin crispy addicting crust. Best part is mikes hot honey on the counter to drizzle as much as you'd like. In a city with so many great pizza options, details like the unique ambiance make Grand Street a must visit.

This is the best pizza on the Lower East Side. Horrible seamless delivery guy.

Grand Street Pizza makes the best classic NY style pizza. I love how we only eat pizzas with a light to medium bake and they know how to do it perfectly so the crust is soft and pillowy, while still being deliciously baked. My mom looks forward to their pizza. Last and perhaps most importantly - the people working there are wonderful. Top notch service. Shout out to Hanna - she is amazing and the sweetest. Thank you for always being so nice to everyone.

I can easily say this is not your average pizza spot. I can also admit I have never been in a bathroom with a disco ball before stopping by here. Its a small spot with a noticeable neon sign easily spotted down the block. The interior's set up gives old fashioned speakeasy vibes. There is limited table seating but plenty of seating around the bar where you can hang and chat with the friendly staff members. My favorite slice was the vodka slide. Thin crust crisped to perfection and the pizza wasn't overly cheesy, oily, or droopy. Definitely recommend, especially after a few drinks.

Forget Scaars. This is a very stylish place and great hang for a glass of wine, a brewsky - and of course excellent slices.

This is a great local place. The atmosphere is cute with local vibe. The service is outstanding fun and interactive. The pizza is all NY style with amazing flavor. Must have at a reasonable cost.

Hey guys, I got the OG pizza slice! This is the best pizza I've ever tasted in my life I give it number one. The cheese was yummy and soft and the crust was soft as well. The service was fast. The only problem is it's a bit crowded because the restaurant is kind of small. They also have a bar inside and two small tables inside. They also have outdoor seating.

Pizza is good. Crust nice and thin. Cheesy. Quaint little pizza. Wish there was mine non-alcoholic drink options but sparking water and pizza go well. The good kind.

This is one of my favorite pizza joints in the city. It's a small chill spot with amazing pizza. Went on a pizza tour for the day, and this place was by far the best

Is this the cutest little pizza place with the most charming bartender on the LES? Probably. Spicy Lenny's pizza + a frothy Irish brew to warm you up on a cold winter's night.

YES. The pizza joint i've been looking for. $4 for a pepperoni slice is worth it when it's quality. Great vibes, nice people inside. Went in for a take out slice and honestly wanted to stay but I had my doggo with me and I wasn't dressed to be anywhere in public lol. Either way, I'll be back. 100%. Such a cute spot. LOOK AT THIS PEPPERONI SLICE!!

I stopped by here yesterday with a friend to grab a quick bite and I'm glad I did. The pizzas was delicious, the sauce was rich, but my only compliant was the slices are too thin but I won't take a star away due to that. Also the price was VERY reasonable. I left the place satisfied and happy lol. The gentleman that handle our order and payment was nice and professional and also gave a warm welcoming as you enter.

Awesome pizza if you like thin crust. NOT open on Mondays till midnight as stated in their hours. A little over priced but still good.

I only eat pizza from two places in the lower east side. Grand Street pizza is my first choice. The pizza here is divine. The crust the sauce the cheese everything is perfect. This restaurant is so busy all the time and it makes sense because the pizza is so good. I love the decor with the bar on the side. Often time, I go for my pizza and a glass of wine and I sit outside whenever the weather permits. They make pies and they also make the specialty pizzas this establishment. They accept card and cash. I recommend this restaurant 100%. They also have a mini bar to the side that you can eat and have a drink. It's low key and the ambiance is great! Love this place!

Hands down the best pizza in new york - the vibe at the restaurant is great, and getting the pizza delivered is just as good. I'm blown away at the quality and is always 10/10.

Rico's place is fuckin' INCREDIBLE. Some of the best pizza in the city. Go in for a slice and a beer.

Perfect NY slice! We got the tomato and pepp, so good. The ambiance inside is also beautiful and unassuming

never been here but i miss hanna. i'm sure the pizza is good too. will def come back for more.

Born and raised in Nyc so I where up eating nyc pizza and no one is pizza this thin in the 90s. Inflation is real but if pizza price inflated, pizza thickness should stay the same. Doesn't matter sense if price for pizza is increasing but pizza getting thinner and thinner. Pizza is very thing like paper. No hate here cause Scarr's down the block is also as thin. No clue what's going on with nyc pizza getting thin and thinner. Is flour inflating or owners just going cheap?

Incredible pizza! Bought two and put them on the plane home for the family in Los Angeles

Great addition to the neighborhood. Slices are reasonably priced (starting at $3.25 for plain cheese), served hot and the crust is a good middle ground between too doughy/too thin. They aren't the biggest slices out there, so you'll definitely need to order 2 in order to be full, but the taste is very solid. The space itself is very nice and cozy. Aesthetically pleasing bar and countertop, with a couple of small tables inside. Long picnic table available outside to sit. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I'm happy to have them join the LES community.

Good pizza. I ordered the OG Cheese Pie with sausage. FAST delivery via UberEats. Thank you. God Bless
