NYC's finest square pie: airy crust, fresh ingredients
NYC's finest square pie: airy crust, fresh ingredients
"After relocating to Maplewood this spot draws a line filing through the entrance and a full dining room. The visit included a special Jersey Devil, a classic upside-down, and a pepperoni slice that the reviewer described as "so good I had to grab another on the way out to inhale, gremlin-style, on my drive home." The slice features a "crispy-but-not-stale" crust, "perfectly sizzly and generously distributed pepperoni cups," plus a "stellar sauce," which together make what the reviewer called "one of the best slices I’ve ever had." Stefania Orrù, head of video production, adds that she "pity New Yorkers who no longer have walk-up access to this gem" and jokes she’s "willing to offer round trip transportation" for anyone who wants to argue whether pizza is better on this side of the Hudson." - Eater Staff
"A pizza vendor inside the market that in 2017 was singled out by Eater critic Ryan Sutton, who declared that the must-have slice of the year wasn't at a standalone pizzeria but at a vendor inside the food hall. The stall later relocated to the New Jersey suburbs a few years after that acclaim." - Emma Orlow
"This stall in Gotham West Market is serving their slices and pies for pick-up and delivery online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"After opening in 2017 at Gotham West Market, I learned that Corner Slice is calling it quits in the city: owner Mike Bergemann will reopen by spring 2024 in a standalone Maplewood, New Jersey spot. The new location at 419 Boyden Avenue (near Jacoby Street) will have 18 seats inside and a large outdoor garden, focus on the New York square pie, and offer a tight everyday menu supplemented by daily pizza specials and weekly sandwich specials on bread baked in-house; the last day in NYC will be November 18." - Melissa McCart
"Okay, so it’s not a coffee shop, but sometimes the day calls for both a cup of coffee and an afternoon slice of pizza to get through work. Corner Slice in the Gotham West Market food hall offers both: Its signature square pies are available by the slice and diners can also get a cup of hot or iced coffee to go alongside. The market has a covered outdoor seating area available with Wi-Fi access." - Erika Adams
