Best Trendy Table Hotspots Pizza Restaurants in Little Italy

Prince Street Pizza’s cramped Nolita shop draws relentless lines for its thick Sicilian squares, especially the cult Spicy Spring pepperoni slice. It’s mostly a grab-and-go operation with curbside eating and minimal seating, but the combination of crunchy crust, rich sauce, and heavy toppings keeps it a destination slice stop.

This NoLita institution from the Pappalardo family serves thin-crust pizza using a recipe from their Staten Island original, Joe & Pat's. The signature Tie-Dye pie swirled with vodka sauce and pesto tableside has achieved iconic status, but the handmade pastas like carbonara and cavatelli are equally impressive.

A slice-first operation that’s built for late-night precision: crisp crust, balanced sauce-to-cheese, and a finishing touch of basil and parm that makes even a quick walk-in feel intentional. Best when you want a high-quality slice without a sit-down commitment, especially on weekend nights.

New York’s first pizzeria, Lombardi's offers classic coal-oven pies that are crispy, flavorful, and loved by late-night pizza seekers.

Champion Pizza’s Soho outpost turns out trays of thin-crust squares and classic slices with a huge menu of toppings, from buffalo chicken to elaborate combos. It’s a fast-moving, counter-service shop that balances tourist traffic with repeat locals who treat it as a reliable everyday slice stop.
