Specialty square slices like pepperoni and vodka sauce
"A downtown slice shop serving both square and classic formats: the Angry Nonna square slice is a sweet-savory combo thanks to zingy hot honey and chile oil, while the house slice is described as a perfect rendition of what a fresh pizza slice should be. The reviewer ordered both slices together for $11.25 (including tax and tip) and noted sandwiches are worth trying next time." - Eater Staff
"We once went to Mama’s Too to eat their gas-oven Sicilian squares when it was 15 degrees outside. We had to wear pants under our pants, and it was 100% worth it. That was the first time we tried their mushroom pie as well as the cacio e pepe pizza with its four types of cheese and cracked black pepper—both of which will enrich your life in ways you have yet to fathom. And those aren’t even the best slices here. The square pepperoni is worth a trip across the city, and the house triangular slice with fresh basil is just about as noteworthy as the one at Di Fara. This tiny counter-service spot on the UWS has already become an NYC classic. They also have a second location in the West Village." - bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
"Distance from the start: 11.1 miles Bathroom: Yes Mama’s Too is hands-down one of the best pizza places in NYC, and we’ll never regret our decision to order several thick slices and a chicken cutlet alla vodka sandwich here, and then eat them on the sidewalk in 85 degree weather at their West Village location. However, if we did it again, we might consider L’Industrie West Village, or a visit to Lucia Pizza of Soho for slightly lighter slices." - willa moore
"The West Village has so much good pizza, it’s unfair to other neighborhoods. Your first stop should always be L’Industrie, but after that, head to Mama’s Too. This slice shop, which started on the Upper West Side, specializes in light, crunchy square pies heavily layered with toppings like vodka sauce, whipped ricotta, and calabrian chili oil. The pepperoni and cacio e pepe are essential, and you should also try to get your hands on one of the sandwich specials, usually available on Sundays and Wednesdays. Past options have included an overstuffed cheesesteak and an eggplant parm with burrata spilling out the sides." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
"As an avid corn lover, I knew I needed to try the elote slice as soon as I saw it on Mama’s Too’s Instagram; the square slice ($9.50) is loaded with corn kernels and the queso fresco provides a nice tang for balance, delivering the sweet late-summer flavor I associate with the season — it’s massive and messy (two of us shared it as a snack), so don’t attempt to eat it anywhere windy or on the go, but as a seasonal slice it’s worth trying and is available at both Mama’s Too locations this month." - Eater Staff
