Master Critic Review

Exclusive Pizza 7.7
Washington Heights (North)
Exclusive Pizza is a narrow counter on 181st better known to locals through delivery apps than signage, focusing on value-priced pies, slices, and garlic knots. It hits the sweet spot for late homework nights and low-key hangouts when you want something hot, cheap, and close.
Must-Try Dishes: Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, Garlic Knots

What makes it special: Delivery-first 181st Street slice shop with sharp pricing and long hours.
