The best pizza place in terms of decorum and staff . The pizzas have funky names like Tony Clifton (which I can personally recommend, great toppings). Plenty of vegetarian options , plus one vegan pie.

Village Voice

There's that pizza which you compare to pizza in Italy, and then there's New York pizza . This is the small but fanatic third party of pizza : many Cajun flavors, and some are just "alternative." Read more

My favorite slices are Cleopatra Jones , Tony Clifton and The Dude. Their bread is so crunchy and with the right amount of tomato sauce and cheese . Great place to have a quick lunch .

Polina Weitz

Italian-cajun fusion pizza chain. The design is very colorful and the toppings are creative. The "bayou beast " with shrimp and crawfish was delicious and a bit spicy . Go for the Louisianna slices.

Martin Rigby

Mr. Pink is my fav but all are good. This is unique pizza , more Cajun than Italian, which is the only way I can rationalize the poor ratings. Some people don’t like “different.” MUST TRY! Coolest vibe

Jessica

Love to eat pizza here and watch the movies that the employees play up above. Feel guilty about being protective over the video store , yet never having rented a video ????

Sam Gr

Lots of veggie/vegan/gluten free options. Earth Mother is vegan and a filling meal with under 300 calories!

Daniel McDonough

My absolute favorite pizza . Get 2 slices of cheese and a Pepsi . They also host an annual Oscar pool winner gets a free pie.

Yera Ha

The Sicilian slice is great and the garlic knots , loaded with real chunks of garlic , are consistently good.

Jason Brew

Not a place to go for your typical pepperoni slice. Two Boots is most known for their wide variety of creative and Cajun styled pizzas

Tim Shea

Pizza is good, many different styles. I wouldn't say it's quality NYC pizza , but it's definitely good pizza !

Pat

I love their pizza ; they are named after obscure people. And they make them like nowhere else. You can get pies with Jalapino pesto , Crawdads, Salami , Buffalo Chicken , Tasso Ham , Vadalia Onions , Sun D Read more

Afi Yellow-Duke

Great veggie slices here with fun names. A little pricier than your average slice, but worth it.

dipti p.

this location makes the perfect slice. my favorite is the cheese slice with jalapeño or the sicilian .

HashtagNYU

A plain cheese or pepperoni slice not doing it for you? Up your game with a hot slice of Two Boots pizza !

Ha Diem

The bayou beast with spiced shrimp , crawfish , andouille , jalapeños and mozzarella IS SO GOOD.

Zii Hammad

Reliable spot to meet up with friends to enjoy a pricey (vegan ) slice.

Nate Beatty

Slices are expensive , but they have a good selection (and with vegan options !)

TheNewConfusion

While Two Boots is known for its pizza , the menus hidden gem is the rosemary chicken po' boy . Filling and delicious!

Paige C

Good Grandma slice . Much better than their UES location!

Billy Pidgeon

For me it is all about the Bayou Beast . But you better leave me a slice!

Hannah Lee

Unique, really good ❤️

Raphael Lasar

Monstrously good, though not classic NY, pizza . And cheese and cheeseless varieties of vegan pizza too.

DoubleDeuce

Where else are you going to get a slice before or after you go to UCB East? Nowhere; it's going to be here.

Bjorn L.

Loisaida slice is hot and flavorful af (and only available at this location).

Cesar Razuri

The Bayou Beast . Spiced shrimp , crawfish , andouille , jalapeño & mozzarella goodness.

Nick Jordan

The chorizo and pickled peppers slice is great.

Jon Steinback

Corn-meal crust is often good, especially when paired with their toppings. Good creative vegetarian slices.

Bram Hubbell

They make lots of vegan versions of their pies.

Marissa Stuart

The pizza is just the best.

Michael Tapp

The best Two Boots in town . This place is The Tits.

Rishi Satsangi

Petty good pizza and cookies . They were playing roger rabbit on the screen :)

dipti p.

My favorite of all Two Boots locations! Always fresh and tasty.

Gabrielle Zigi

They have #glutenfree pizza & #vegan pizza using Daiya cheese !

Dave Boudreau

A late night slice of "the dude" and an icy cold brooklyn lager is a perfect late night meal after seeing a show at the mercury lounge .

Danielle Davis

Vegan pizza isn't all that bad! The garlic knots are also a win.

Drizzy Drea

The Newman is my favorite. Cookies are yummy too

Allison Daugila

V for Vegan is the best vegan slice in the city !!

Phu Nguyen

They have an amazing crawfish pizza !

Chanse Arrington

Be sure to get the Bayou Beast or the Earth Mama (with cheese ). They were absolutely delicious! Read more

JP

the tony clifton and the night tripper will leave you happy, and with bad breath.

Wesley Bliss

Good, weird, NY style pizza , with some unusual toppings. Decent crust. Ok for spontaneity, but wouldn't plan to get it.

Steve Roberts

There are all good, but the Bayou Beast is my fav...

Aditi Luthra

Even the margarita pizza was so flavorful

Vicky Daloia

two words: Cleopatra Jones . You'll have stank breath for hours, but it's so delish you won't even care

Amanda Miller

Get the buffalo chicken slice ! Mmmmmm

Ashley Erin Corbett

A super face, Louisiana based! Love the west village joint!

Alex Robertson

Good pepperoni pizza . With all those breadcrumb thangs

aimee ortiz

order delivery with caution. it took almost two hours for my pizza to come ... and I found out this is pretty common for them.

Chelsea

Don't forget the red pepper flakes .
