From Google Maps reviews.
Calling this “pizza” feels generous. What you’re actually served is something closer to a prop: slices shaved down to paper-thin proportions, with a whisper of sauce and a reluctant scattering of cheese. It’s not minimalist—it’s missing. The real issue isn’t just quality; it’s intent. The price remains identical to a standard NYC slice, yet the portion has been quietly halved in thickness. When questioned, staff proudly claimed that customers “like it because they order twice as many.” That’s no
Absolutely horrible experience. I had been excited to try this place given the great reviews on Slice. Ordered a square pie with meatballs, had to toss the entire pie due to raw dough. Ingesting raw dough is a health hazard due to the risk of food borne illness!! When I requested a refund, I was told this is how the pizza is made and no refund would be issued. Really??? Do better Gotham pizza. I want my money back and you'll never have to deal with me again. I will not be going back!
Updated review: with inflation, the lunch special is now $6 (tax included) but remains a great value. They definitely know how to make a classic thin-crust cheese pizza. Original review: Gotham Pizza has the best value lunch special in the neighborhood: 2 slices of cheese pizza and a drink, all for $5. And because they get so many orders of it, you’re guaranteed to have it freshly made.
