Original Joe’s Pizzeria — Restaurant in New York

Even when compared to the horror slices outside New York City, most New York City pizza is just okay and if you eat it often enough, you could be forgiven for thinking that's what pizza is: A mediocre food product that you buy because it's cheap and easy.

It's not until you have a margarita slice like the one I had at Original Joe's that you start to remember that pizza is a goddamn art form and the people that do it well are brilliant masters of balance and flavor. There's something really special about people who can do do the same thing with the same ingredients as a million other people and somehow managed to do it so much better, it's like they're making entirly different dishes.

They nail EVERYTHING. Leoparded char on the bottom of a flavorful crust that tastes like fresh baked bread. Tangy and clean tasting sauce, Delicious Mozzarella and fresh basil; it's stupid good.

My only hesitation in recommending the place is on the chance that hipsters "discover" it, causing well deserved lines out the door for a slice that the people of Morris Park have known for a while now was worthy of all the praise I could give it.

I mean everything is delicious that I have had there so far but I must say that their Salads are to absolutely kill for. They take great care to make a salad that truly goes above and beyond expectations. A lot of Pizza joints have good Pizza but the rest of the menu is meh but here almost everything on the menu is sure to delight even the most jaded and skeptical New Yorker, present company certainly included. Give them a try. Oh and also a great bunch of guys behind the counter working hard to make your dining experience an experience to remember fondly. Two...

I loved this place and ordered from them a lot. Today, I witnessed one of the owners calling a child stupid 3 times. I was in shock. I waited for my order because I had already paid, but I will never go there again. It's Halloween, and they had a bucket of candy on top of the counter. It seems like the little boy took too many candies, and they made him put them back and asked him repeatedly, "Are you stupid?". I think removing the bowl and simply telling him one candy is enough would've sufficed. It was intentionally cruel. My face said it all. Truly, felt the embarrassment and hurt that the little boy experienced. Unacceptable behavior, and I don't even want to say why I think he addressed this particular child...
