On Thursday and Friday, they’re open until 8:30 pm. I was able to pick one up on a Friday night.
I do agree i wish they were open at least on a Saturday or a Sunday

My last slices from Danny Boy’s were the best NY style I’ve had on the west coast in a long time. Significantly better than my last visits to Pizza Wagon or Prime. But I do think the belt moves between those three by the day.

The difference between a good pizzeria and a great one is consistency. Making great pies is hard. Making every pie great is much harder.
I wonder if anyone made a recent visit. Hopefully they’re back in form.
I think if one prefers crispness to chewiness then Joe’s does win. They’re aggressively crispy on the previously discussed crisp to chew spectrum. Mullberry’s is more chew. Vitos and Wagon i found to be in the middle. Prime closer to Joe’s… but it has been ages

have you read up on the Joe’s Pizza saga? it’s very strange that the Santa Monica location isn’t affiliated with the other ones. I actually remember getting a pizza on like Memorial Day in 2010 (or some other holiday) when Joe Vitale himself was making our pizzas and serving them, essentially working by himself.

I don’t think there was ever a restaurant in NYC called Joe’s of Bleecker Street. The place owned by the guy who sued Santa Monica Joe’s was just called Joe’s Pizza.
There is a John’s of Bleecker Street, which makes good old-school coal-oven pizza…

Love John’s of Bleecker St too. Great pizza and such a cool old-school vibe. A must-stop anytime I visit NYC

That whole triangle is great. Joe’s Pizza. Pearl Oyster Bar. Blind Tiger. Murray’s Cheese Shop.

When I was subletting nearby for a few months in the 80s I got slices from that Joe’s Pizza all the time. Seemed like your average NYC slice joint to me.
Father Demo Square was one of my favorite places in NYC.
In the 80’s and early 90’s the Bleecker Luncheonette had such fantastic green minestrone soup and linguine with clams, served with wonderful crusty Italian bread. Heaven.

warrior: superfine was superaverage on our last order. disappointing.
i’d pick gjelina for best pizza in LA – over Mozza and every other dedicated pizza establishment. actually, i’d pick gjelina for best pizza i’ve ever had except maybe cheeseboard in berkeley (been a long time).
peony: pizza pictures below are from our recent visits to gjelina

Awesome name. It’s one of the first areas we go to eat when we land in NYC.

The Cheese Board’s pizza is such an extreme outlier in terms of style that some people refuse to call it pizza. The sourdough crust is thin, stiff, and almost cracker-like. I’ve never had anything like it anywhere else except at its spinoffs, Arizmendi and Sliver.

warrior: it’s been over 10 years, so my tastes may have changed or the restaurant may have changed.

The Cheese Board’s pizza has not changed in the 30-odd years since I first tried it.

too bad about Superfine. I prefer their 18 inch pizzas over their 12 inch ones. God I remember eating cheeseboard in college (didn’t go to Berkeley, but I visited my cousin who went there), and it was so good. Gjelina Take Away is actually super super good pizza by the slice.
