Spicy Spring Sicilian Square, SoHo Square Sicilian Slice, Vodka Sauce Sicilian Slice

Must-Try Dishes:
Tie-Dye Pizza, Vodka Pie, Carbonara
What makes it special: Multi-generational family pizza recipe that bridges old and new Little Italy

Husband-and-wife team Ciro and Austria bring authentic Neapolitan soul to this brick-oven pizzeria where the margherita arrives with proper char and chew. Beyond pizza, dig into lesser-known Campanian dishes like paccheri alla Genovese and scialatielli alla scarpariello while Neapolitan music plays overhead.
Must-Try Dishes:
Margherita Pizza, Salsiccia e Friarielli Pizza, Gnocchi Sorrentina
What makes it special: Family-run Neapolitan authenticity with dishes rarely found outside Naples
8.0
Artistic Pizza is a compact Greenwich Village counter that has built a following for its vegan and gluten-free slices alongside standard New York pies. It’s more functional than flashy, but the ability to grab plant-based mushroom or pepperoni slices by the slice until late makes it a go-to for mixed-diet groups near NYU.
Must-Try Dishes:
Vegan Mushroom Slice, Vegan Pepperoni & Sausage Crumble Slice, Gluten-Free Whole Pie
What makes it special: Village slice counter specializing in vegan and gluten-free options without losing the New York-slice feel.

Co-founded by a Bleecker Street Pizza veteran, this counter-service spot elevates the neighborhood slice with imported ingredients, house marinara, and properly aged mozzarella. The gluten-free options are legitimately good, and the late-night hours make it a go-to for after-hours pizza cravings.

What makes it special: Quality slice shop with imported Italian ingredients and strong gluten-free game
7.8
Operating since 1979, Famous Ben’s Pizza is a Spring Street fixture best known for its hefty Sicilian squares and movie cameos as much as for day-to-day slices. Quality feedback is mixed in recent years, but the thick focaccia-style squares and old-school SoHo slice-shop vibe still draw steady traffic.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sicilian Square Slice, Classic Cheese Slice, Baked Ziti or Pasta Plate
What makes it special: Long-running SoHo slice shop from 1979 known for thick Sicilian squares and a roster of film and TV appearances.

At the always-bright corner of MacDougal and W 3rd, Ben’s Pizzeria serves NYU students, comedy-club crowds, and tourists with classic foldable slices into the early morning. The pizza itself is straightforward rather than destination-level, but decades of late-night service and quick turnover make it a reliable Village fallback.
Must-Try Dishes:
Classic Cheese Slice, Buffalo Chicken Slice, Pepperoni Slice
What makes it special: Long-running MacDougal Street slice shop serving classic New York slices to NYU and comedy-club crowds late into the night.
