7.5
9Layers runs a compact Stanton Street operation devoted to lasagna trays, offering four-cheese and beef ragù pans sized for weeknight dinners or parties. It feels more like a specialty commissary than a restaurant, but the focused menu and friendly pricing make it a clever way to keep lasagna in the fridge for easy reheats.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the plan is to bring lasagna home—9Layers isn’t a sit-down space, so it’s better suited for low-key nights in rather than an in-person date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no tables or reservations; it’s strictly pickup-focused, so walk-ins are always fine.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for takeout—portion sizes and mild flavors work well for families, but there’s no dine-in space or high-chairs.
Best For
Better for: Affordable, reliable lasagna trays that reheat well and feed groups without fuss.
Skip if: You want a sit-down Italian meal, fresh-plated pasta, or multiple menu categories beyond lasagna.
