Best Quick Bites Champions Pizza Restaurants in Murray Hill

Vezzo has anchored Murray Hill’s pizza scene since 2006 with ultra-thin, cracker-crust pies baked to a shattering crisp. The crowded dining room and long-running popularity are driven by a wide roster of toppings that skew indulgent—think truffle, spicy sausage, and layered veggie combinations.

Romano Pizza Restaurant is a long-running 3rd Avenue spot that functions as both a late-night slice counter and a full menu Italian joint. With over a thousand combined delivery ratings and hours that stretch into the early morning, it’s a dependable choice for pies, pasta, and subs after most kitchens close.

Garlic New York Pizza Bar is a high-volume slice shop and bar hybrid in Murray Hill known for oversized squares and late-night hours. Regulars come for loaded grandma-style pies, garlic-heavy recipes, and a menu that runs from classic cheese to truffle and eggplant-topped slices.

Spoto Pizza is a newer 3rd Avenue slice shop that has quickly built a following for its crisp pies and specialty slices, including a highly praised vodka slice. While it doesn’t run as late as the 3am institutions, it fills the early-to-midnight window with a more modern take on the neighborhood slice joint.

Rocky’s is an old-school Kips Bay pizzeria with counter slices up front and a surprisingly spacious back room for lingering over pies. Beyond classic cheese, it’s known for over-the-top specialty slices like penne alla vodka pizza and grandma squares that draw a loyal late-night crowd.

NYC Pizza Kitchen in Kips Bay is a sit-down and takeout shop with a broad New York–style pizza menu plus slices, stromboli, and pastas. It fills the role of a reliable neighborhood option where you can order a straightforward pie, try thicker Sicilian squares, or tack on a salad and wings.
