The "grandma's pizza " (cheese , tomato sauce , basil sauce ) is solid, and the rice balls were surprisingly delicious (warm cream and rice , breaded )! Great for a quick, affordable meal in Soho.

"The square slice has a slightly sweet sauce that is the perfect complement to the melted mozzarella cheese , and its lightly pan-fried bottom crust speaks to my soul." - Chef Jim Botsacos Read more

I've been eating here for almost 10 years, easily on of the best pizza spots in NY. Anytime I'm in soho, that's the go to spot for a slice. Specialty pizzas are nice, but still can't beat the classic!

ZenFoodster

Great pepperoni & mushroom slice w/ good sauce & a hint of garlicky crust

Aileen Sim

Best calzone I've had in.. ever! And excellent service too. They were out of ham and cheese , but he offered to add ham to a 4cheese one. Awww..

Serious Eats

Plain slices here are disappointing, but don't miss the Palermo, a thick, awesome Sicilian slice topped with bread crumbs and onions . Great Italian ices , too.

Serious Eats

A standout NYC slice. Try the Palermo if you want a change of pace. Read more

"Ben’s large, crunchy slices fill up patrons slightly more than your average nyc fare. Near Washington Sq. Park , this is a good tourist spot." - TJ, Oz content writer

The sicilian pizza is great, the whole wheat pizza is great. And they have gluten free crust if you need that.

Brad L

Lots of mixed reviews of this place, but the White Slice is SOLID. Probably the best I've had in NYC and highly recommended.

Phil Calçado

Great regular slices, and one of the few places with nice gluten-free options

Andy Chapman

Get the Sicilian slice . Why else are you there?

Nicole Marcellini

If this is the best pizza of NY, what tip would you leave visiting Napoli? But it's a good deal after shopping on Spring, defenitely.

David Greenberger

I'm usually a variety guy, especially when it comes to pizza , but a fresh, plain slice from Ben's is off the charts.

David Bressler

Best pizza but they no longer enforce their no talking on the phone rule. Just ate while a guy walked in circles around my table talking on the phone (he wasn't even a customer).

Dina Fierro

The grandma slice is straight up exceptional.

Ed C

Square slice with fresh mozzarella is a great choice in this neighborhood

Kelly Bone

The Palermo--with marinara , sauteed onions and breadcrumbs-- is a must try slice!

R Gorman

The Palermo square speaks for itself. I would do unspeakable things for this pizza , good thing I don't have to.

Jim Botsacos, chef of Molyvos, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Square slice . Read more

Monica Ulloa

I always like the pepperoni pizza - best pizza in the country !

jiresell

Slices a little more expensive than most, but very good!

Henry Solórzano

Plenty of pizza choices. Wry humor from the staff

Gideon Olshansky

Great slices at even better prices

Matt Daimler

It's all about the square pizza here. My fav is tomato onion well done.

Karina Ruzinov

They have Italian ice during the summer!

Giovanni C.

Broccoli mushroom Sicilian ????????????????

Sean Field

During the summer use the walk-up window. Walk all the way in towards the back when ordering inside.

Yvette C

Good Pizza , Clean bathroom , friendly service .

Simon Tschinkel

They won't serve you water here unless it is in a bottle. They say they have no tap water but that is a lie as they have a soda fountain .

Elene Beraya

EXTREMELY TASTY AND CHEAP . pizza from sex in the city

Kate K

Total dive, but the pizza is always good. Try the Grandma or the Marinara square slice .

Capt Awesome

No frills in the food, only the pricing has frills. #over-Priced must be tourist/nyu/soho pricing

Ben May

Great pizza and definitely give the little dough balls a go, zupoples?? Read more

Ilie Kim

$10 minimum for credit card, but gave the stank eye for using one on a $14 order. #customerservice

Capt Awesome

Chicken roll is almost twice the price for what is almost half the size

Patrick Healy

Scene from Men In Black 2 was filmed her (watched it happen). Don't be fooled, this place is no joke. Pizza is great. They don't need the publicity.

Ben Mack

Try the pepperoni and cheese pizza . It's goood.

Warren Rios

Double the cheese you'll get anywhere else! Even the veggie is delish!

Slices are huge but expensive .

The tomato and onion slice is worth traversing SoHo for.
