"Pizza purists, avert your eyes. Everybody else, head to Cuts & Slices. The mini pizza empire originated in Bed-Stuy, and it's known for topping its doughy pies with things like saucy oxtail and curry shrimp. It works. (Sometimes it works so well you'll encounter a line.) The prices run higher than your average plain slice—the oxtail is $13—but when it comes to these loaded slices, one can be a whole meal. There's a few tables inside, but it's also right across from Parkside Lounge, a bar with a pool table that allows outside food." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
"This Bed-Stuy spot sets itself apart from other slice shops by offering a bunch of uncommon toppings. You’ll see varieties like chicken and waffle, shrimp alfredo with black truffle, and lasagna, but the oxtail pies are the main attraction. There are three different kinds, and the sweet chili one comes loaded with crispy, tender shredded oxtail. 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
"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
"Opened in 2018 by a husband-and-wife team who pivoted to fusion toppings to survive slow early months, this Brooklyn-born pizzeria distinguishes itself with Jamaican- and Caribbean-inspired pies—jerk chicken and stewed oxtail among the early standouts—and has since expanded to multiple New York boroughs with roughly 40 combinations, from curry shrimp to waffle-topped slices." - ByLuke Fortney
"Randy and Ashlee Mclaren bring a fusion of New York comfort foods and their cultural backgrounds to Brooklyn, offering pizzas with unique toppings like brown stew oxtails and fried chicken." - ByElazar Sontag
