Master Critic Review

Prince Street Pizza 8.8
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.
Must-Try Dishes: Spicy Spring Sicilian Square, SoHo Square Sicilian Slice, Vodka Sauce Sicilian Slice
Scores:
Value: 8.2 Service: 7 Consistency: 9 Food Quality: 9 Atmosphere: 7.5 Cultural Relevance: 8.7
What makes it special: Legendary Sicilian squares with thick, caramelized crusts and overloaded toppings served from a standing-room-only Nolita slice shop.
Who should go: Slice chasers seeking iconic, heavyweight Sicilian squares.
When to visit: Mid-afternoon or late night to avoid heaviest lines.
What to order: Spicy Spring square, SoHo square, vodka Sicilian slice.
Insider tip: If you’re grabbing multiple slices, ask for them re-crisped in the oven to maximize that edge crunch.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots on Prince St. and surrounding blocks are scarce, especially evenings and weekends.
Dress code: No dress code — come as you are; this is a grab-and-go slice shop.
Noise level: High — tight quarters, constant foot traffic, and street noise make lingering conversations difficult.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes in line, longer after bar hours.
Weekday lunch: 5–15 minutes depending on tourist traffic.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese Sicilian, SoHo squares, and rotating veggie-topped slices.
Vegan options: Very limited — no dedicated vegan cheese; occasional veggie marinara slices may work for strict vegans.
Gluten-free options: No gluten-free crust or accommodations.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date appreciates iconic NYC street-style food and doesn’t mind standing; it's more about the slice than the ambiance.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no tables or reservations; expect to eat curbside or take your slices to a nearby park.
Is it kid-friendly? Kid-friendly for quick bites, but the cramped space and long lines can be tough for younger children; best for older kids who can handle waiting.
Best For
Better for: Massive, indulgent Sicilian squares with signature pepperoni cups and superior crust crunch compared to thinner-slice competitors.
Consider Alternatives If: You want seating, gluten-free options, or a calm sit-down meal — nearby full-service pizzerias will be a better fit.
