I went to Sliced Pizza Shop from a recommendation of a friend April 30, 2022. I’m a native New Yorker and have been searching for authentic NYC Pizza, this does not disappoint. If you are a tourist, yes, it is nowhere near the strip which is perfect for us locals not having to pay for parking, etc.
I parked on the street, I know how to parallel park, and walked in opening the glass double doors. I get a dive bar feel, perfect, without the smell of old booze oozing through the pours of the floor and walls. There are pinball machines and other novelty games against the wall. There are about 6 high top tables for patrons to use. Continue taking the short walk, pass the Halloween decorations, again perfect, and ad t.v. On the right playing some horror movie, and a screen at the head of the restaurant playing something else, I was watching the 2022 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The menu is situated at the bottom of the counter with the minimalist menu which again is perfect, if something is done right, no need to do too much. I get to the counter and I’m greeted with a “Welcome in” immediately. I’m home. I order a slice with sausage, which is round and not skimped on, fries, and a Diet Coke (can). I take a deeper look around and see more of the Halloween themed props, I love Horror movies, even the bad ones. About 5 minutes the fries come out, done as I like them, not too well, not too soft, then the slice comes out, just the right amount of grease. The folks continue to check on me to make sure the food is superb, and it is.
I need to use the mens room and it is clean, important today. It isn’t equipped like Bouchon at the Venetian, as a dive place I don’t expected it to me, I do expect it to be clean.
Parking can be a bit of a hassle, don’t let it frustrate you. If you are a tourist, take a moment to get away from the machines and visit. If you are a transplant from New York, go here. I read the only 1-star review and don’t get it, it isn’t expensive in today’s supply cost age. I get it, a Little Caesars Pizza is $8 for just cheese, it’s junk compared to the love that can be tasted in a slice here.
Don’t forget to tip the...

Went here for a pizza or two. Walked in, the dirty blonde girl with the obnoxious laugh didn't say hi, hello, NOTHING. Then we finally walk up to her and she says THERE'S A 45 MINUTE WAIT FOR ANY FOOD (THE RESTAURANT HAS ABOUT 15 PEOPLE IN IT , ABOUT 4 FULL TABLES).... We decided on 2 pizzas, some garlic knots, and chicken fingers(6). Waited 25 minutes for her to come out and tell us there's no more knots, we told her just to switch it out for mozzarella sticks. Wait another 45 minutes....one pizza comes out . We eat it. She's turning away customers left and right at this point, because there's such a massive wait in a restaurant full of 10-12 people TOTAL.... 15 minutes later the 2nd pizza comes. It's pizza, not the worst not the best. The chicken fingers come...the replacement mozzarella sticks never come ( the obnoxious laughing blonde has zero customer service what so ever). they only have canned sodas for 2.50$ each which you get when you're told there's a 45 minute wait. We have to tell her she never brought the mozzarella so we wait anther 15 minutes for those. There's a change machine that you put dollars into for the arcade games but then you realize that the machines all take dollar bills. But don't dare to ask the girl that works there to change the quarters back into dollars. The mens toilet doesn't flush, sink backs up, and there's no paper towels. Fun family night out to get in the halloween spirit. Lol this place Is terrible.....
PLEASE POST PICTURES OF THE MENS TOILET FLUSH LEVER IN WORKING CONDITION
The response to this review says it all..... no apology, no customer service, just customer is wrong...... great job. Keep it up.
Here is a picture that clearly shows the flush lever is broken... I'm an engineer, this is the most basic fix...
Read moreTLDR: Terrible service, mediocre pizza, minor health concern about charcoal powder and prescription meds.
Nice stuff first: Black crust is a cool idea in theory. I have a good example of bad service to use at work when I'm teaching my next class on customer service.
Bad stuff: The black crust is made with charcoal powder. I'm not a doctor, but I know charcoal should not be consumed close to taking prescription medications as it can make them less effective (thanks Dr. Mike). Even if that's not a concern for you it makes the crust dry and scratchy on your throat. There seemed to be only one employee, who was not happy to be there, and inconvenienced by the presence of customers. All the tables had signs saying they were reserved, so people wouldn't sit down before ordering. I asked if they had a margherita pizza, and the employee immediately started chewing me out and low-key making fun of me, even when I tried to explain what I was asking for. Overpriced at $4-5 dollars per slice. The wait was long even though there was only one other group of four people in the restaurant and it was 5:30 on a Friday. Shouldn't that be the time you plan on people coming to your restaurant? Probably the worst part was that the employee knew we were part of a larger group, but she waited until my husband and I had paid for our orders before informing the rest of the group that the pizza would take much longer to be done. Apparently the way she explained it to them was confusing but basically sounded like my husband and I got the last couple slices of an already baked pizza and it would take 40+ extra minutes to make everyone else's food. The rest of the group ended up having to go somewhere else. And somehow we still waited about 40 minutes to get our four...
