New York Means Pizza! 🍕
When you think of New York, you think of pizza! Walking around the streets of NYC, you’ll notice pizza shops everywhere. And honestly, I love the taste of American street pizza—the thin crust, simple tomato sauce, and gooey cheese. It’s basic, but somehow, it’s the best. Prince Street Pizza wasn’t really my style of pizza, so I never actually tried it before. But every time I passed by, the line was insanely long. People say, “If you’re in SoHo, you gotta try Prince Street Pizza.” So, I figured it was finally time to see what the hype was all about!
The shop is located right in the heart of SoHo on Prince Street. The last time I walked by, it looked like a tiny little spot, but this time, I noticed they had two separate lines—one for whole pizzas and one for slices. We got in the slice line since we just wanted to try a few. The line was long, but it moved super fast because they just pop the pre-made slices into the oven for a quick reheat before serving.
Inside, there’s a small standing area with condiments red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and napkins. There are also a few tables outside, but they’re pretty limited, so most people just eat on the go. The walls inside are covered with photos of celebrities with the owner. Apparently, the place became super famous under the original owner, and now, his son has taken over.
We got two slices of their famous Spicy Spring Pizza and one slice of Spicy Vodka Pizza, plus a Diet Coke to wash it all down. The slices came out piping hot from the oven—just the way I like it!
What we ordered
- Spicy Spring Pizza
This is their signature pizza—a thick slice loaded with crispy pepperoni. The flavor was intense—super salty and packed with that classic pepperoni punch. At one point, the bold flavors almost overwhelmed my taste! But I have to admit, the crispy, slightly edges of the pepperoni were delicious.
It was a bit too heavy for me, though. I ended up covering it in red pepper flakes and garlic powder to cut the richness. That definitely helped balance it out!
- Spicy Vodka Pizza
This one was a must-try for me. Ever since I came to the U.S., I’ve been obsessed with vodka sauce. I even make vodka sauce pasta at home. So when I saw they had a spicy version of vodka pizza? Yeah, I had to get it.
And honestly? I liked this one way more than the Spicy Spring Pizza. It had a good balance of flavors—not too rich, slightly creamy, with a nice kick of spice.
Was it good?
Yes. Did it live up to the insane hype? Eh… I’m not sure. Maybe my expectations were too high because of its reputation as one of the top 3 pizzas in NYC. Personally, I think I prefer the classic, simple street pizza you find all over the city. But if you’re visiting New York and love pizza, it’s definitely worth trying at least once! 🍕✨
