Diamond Slice - Review - Greenpoint - New York - The Infatuation

"Diamond Slice got its start as After Hours Pizzeria, a pop-up selling whole pies out of a coffee shop in Clinton Hill. At their brick-and-mortar corner spot in Greenpoint, they're taking a more slice-centric approach, and no slice is over $5. Expect all the classics, plus a few that might ruffle the feathers of a New York pizza purist—like the buffalo chicken, which is in fact pretty delicious, with swirls of buffalo sauce and house ranch. photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore Pause Unmute The other slices are a little under-sauced—a bummer if you appreciate tomato sauce; a blessing if you want to be able to walk and eat and not worry about bright orange oil all over your shirt. Keep Diamond in mind for a solid and affordable slice in the neighborhood, especially if you don’t want to wait for a whole pie at nearby Chrissy’s. They also have a few red booths inside, and a tiny sink to the right of the counter where you can wash any pizza char off your hands. Food Rundown Plain The crust here is paper thin—as thin as the pizza in New Haven, or Staten Island—and it never droops. A slice is light, airy, and $3.75. A proper snack. Caesar The dressing on this caesar salad-topped pizza is a little thin, but we appreciate the fishy flavor and the rounds of red onion on top. Bring gum. Buffalo Chicken Try the buffalo chicken. The swirls of neon orange buffalo sauce and creamy ranch are attention-grabbing, but the golden brown breaded chicken and the sliced scallions really make this slice. It’s Domino’s-adjacent—if Domino’s made housemade ranch." - Willa Moore
