Cuts & Slices

"At the incredibly popular Cuts & Slices in Bed-Stuy, you’ll see chicken & waffle, black truffle alfredo shrimp, and lasagna pizzas. This place sets itself apart from other slice shops by offering a bunch of uncommon toppings, and while varieties like curry shrimp and jerk salmon are interesting, the real reasons to come here are the oxtail pies. There are three different kinds, and the sweet chili one comes loaded with crispy, tender shredded oxtail. The chewy crust will remind you of a buttermilk biscuit (in taste, not texture), and it’s a good understated vehicle for all the aggressively flavored toppings." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, arden shore

"This Bed-Stuy spot sets itself apart from other slice shops by offering a bunch of uncommon toppings.

The chewy crust tastes like a buttermilk biscuit, and it’s a good, understated vehicle for all the flavorful toppings. Most people get their food to go, but there are a couple of tables and a counter for standing. Lines often snake out the door, so it’s a good idea to get here early. Cuts & Slices also has two other locations in Queens and Manhattan." - bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
