Master Critic Review
Crazy Pizza NYC
8.0
A newer SoHo entrant, Crazy Pizza combines ultra-thin Roman-style pies, tableside truffle shavings, and DJ-backed dough-spinning shows in a clubby dining room. Open late on weekends, it functions as both pizzeria and party, drawing fashion and nightlife crowds more than grab-and-go slice hunters.
Must-Try Dishes:
Black truffle pizza, Diavola spicy salami pizza, Burrata and cherry tomato pizza

What makes it special: High-energy, performance-driven pizzeria where wafer-thin pies share the spotlight with DJs and dough-spinning servers.
Who should go: Nightlife-focused diners who want pizza with a show and cocktails.
When to visit: Prime weekend late-night slots when the music and pizza show are in full swing.
What to order: Truffle pizza, diavola, burrata-topped pie to share family-style.
Insider tip: Book a later seating on Thursday–Saturday to catch the full dough-spinning performance and liveliest room.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and highly competitive in SoHo at night; nearby paid garages along Lafayette and Crosby are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—fashion-forward outfits fit in with the nightlife crowd; avoid overly casual athletic wear.
Noise level: Loud—DJ sets and tableside performances make conversation possible but raised voices are expected.
Weekend wait: Expect 45–75 minutes without a reservation, especially after 9:30pm when the room becomes more club-like.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable; the restaurant is primarily an evening and late-night venue with lighter early-week traffic.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several pizzas and appetizers are vegetarian-friendly, including burrata and truffle-forward options.
Vegan options: Limited—thin-crust pies can be modified by removing cheese, but no dedicated vegan cheeses or mains.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free dough; those with severe gluten sensitivity should avoid due to cross-contact risk.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a lively, entertainment-driven setting that feels upscale and energetic. Not ideal if you prefer quiet conversation or a more intimate atmosphere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possibly—early evenings and weeknights offer the best chance. On weekends, walk-ins often face long waits; reservations are strongly recommended for peak late-night hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—it's designed for adults, with loud music, late-night service, and a club-style vibe. Suitable for teens at earlier hours but not recommended for young children.
Best For
Better for: High-energy dining, visually dramatic service, and ultra-thin Roman-style pizzas that pair well with cocktails and nightlife plans.
Skip if: You want a classic slice joint, a quiet dinner, gluten-free options, or a budget-friendly late-night meal.
