One of the top 3 pizza joints in town...hands down, no questions asked, and it's from a truck! I can't quite say "the best". I'm a pretty big fan of pizza, and considering they only have the 1 style, when I'm in the mood for some legit deep dish, this place would be a big let down, lol. But the price is right, the truck is mobile, and the extras are pretty good too. They definitely do NY style right; big, thin slices.
COME TO THE NORTH SIDE MORE DAMMIT!!!!!!
I wasn't sure about this but got two pieces of supreme and thoroughly enjoyed them. The crust was just right as far as crunchiness and thickness. There was a good amount of toppings and its was warmed up to just the right temperature. Pretty good. I'd eat here again. But at the same time nothing too special.
Review Source:All I have had is the cheese pizza...and for the price I think it is a solid deal. It seems like there are not enough by the slice pizza places in the city, and NY fills that void. I would not usually give somewhere 4 stars for just a slice of cheese pizza...enter the bread sticks, or should I say knots. I could eat a whole bucket of these parm-covered gems.
Also, they had Siracha for the za, which is a bonus.
I've not had a New York-style slice before, but what I know about them is that they are supposed to be foldable. This one was, the sausage was in big chunks... cheese and sauce were a little spare, but that probably makes this a little be healthier than the average slice. Very crispy, nice guys, and I will be back.
Review Source:The first time I tried their pizza, they burnt the bottom. Â I decided to give them a second chance. Â My bad. Â Really...it was bad. Â I got a pepperoni slice, and it was so greasy, it dripped down onto my hand. Â
The sauce was unmemorable, the crust was burnt (again!) and the cheese didn't seem that great. Â Immediately after, I tried Byrne's Grilled Pizza and realized what was wrong with The NY Slice. Â The quality of the cheese just isn't as good. Â The difference in slices was night and day. Â They need to get better quality cheese and stop burning the slices before I'll be back.
Food Tried: ($6.50 for combo, separate prices listed below)
- Slice of Cheese Pizza ($2.75/slice)
- Bread-knots ($3.50/bag)
- Sprite (irrelevant to my assessment, but $1)
I must admit, I felt a bit like I had fallen behind the times with The NY Slice, only because for their first week-plus, they kept doing lunch at a location I just couldn't manage to get to, and they kept selling out, so even if I could make it to the end of the lunch time frame, there wasn't pizza anyway. I'm pretty happy they were selling out-makes a Indy-dweller happy to see people supporting local businesses.
Anyway, The NY Slice arrived amid a flurry of tweets, facebook statuses, and general word-of-mouth hoopla, because while we already have one pizza truck (Father Byrnes Grilled Pizza), The NY Slice promised something a bit different: authentic New York style pizza. The first image that comes to mind is of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with a pizza box sliding into a manhole cover and thin crust and stringy cheese. Maybe not everyone's initial reaction, but I was very excited. Luckily, I was not disappointed. Truly accurate in the spirit of New York style, The NY Slice creates a ZESTY and GENEROUS meal. Zesty for my tastebuds, generous for my wallet and stomach-one need never go hungry with a slice from The NY Slice around.
One of the tough parts about The NY Slice is that the pizza is not actually made on the truck (in fact, I am coming to believe that many of the foods are not made "in-vehicle" but rather delivered via the truck), which explains why they run out so easily, and why you can't special order. But on thinking, I realize that Father Byrnes is only capable of doing so because they are generally stationary: they, and their grills, stay in place. It takes a while, but you get custom-made pizza. That's the tradeoff, and The NY Slice sits on the other side of the fence. Quicker, but not custom to order.
I found the price for a meal at The NY Slice to be quite reasonable. The pizza slice was very generous, and the bread-knots (I think the menu officially says breadsticks, but I'm a pretty big fan of the puffy little knots of bread I got) were really tasty. In fact, I probably ate way more than I should have. It could easily be shared/combined with another slice and be plenty for two. It fits right in the market price range too.
Commendations & Recommendations:
1. I would love to see one of the rotating specialty pizzas be a Chicago deep-dish. I know you're a New York pizza company, and you do that well, but man, it would be great to be able to compare the two side by side in one awesome food truck.
2. Great job on the delivery concept! I haven't tried it yet, but I'd be interested to hear from others on how deliveries have gone. My main concern, and I think I know the answer, does my order affect the supply for others? I wouldn't want to order a whole pizza to have leftovers but be the reason others don't get to enjoy the tasty goodness.
3. Garbage can nearby the truck, for those of us who hang around while we eat.
Tracked these guys down on the circle the other day because twitter told me they started taking credit cards, which is great for a food truck on the move. I paid $6.25 for a slice of cheese, a side salad and a can of soda. The slice was fairly small, compared to others I've had before, it was still greasy and cheesy like one would expect of a slice from Manhattan. The salad was decently sized, and the service was good. My only complaint is the size of the slice, hence the 4 stars. a little bigger, and it would have gotten 5. Also, they earn cool points in my book for using Square to process their credit cards.
Review Source:Fix up, look sharp. There's a new pizza truck on the street.
They were sold out yesterday on the circle by 12:30, so they must be doing something right.
Personally, I though the crust/dough was crisp and tasty, but it was not what I thought I'd get when it says NY style pizza. Very light cheese and sauce, but a tasty concoction none the less.
I read on their truck that you can follow them at
TheNySlice on FB and twitter.
