Best Pizza in Time Square?

[Morrikl]

Or in Midtown? Will be our first visit and our first NY slice :) We won't have time to travel far for it, unfortunately. Thanks!

Do NYC a favor. Dont go to Time Square at all. If everyone stops going it will dry up and fall off like a scab.

Whoa! Times Sq is not bad. It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else. Tourists love it and tourists bring $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to NYC.
On the other hand, enlightened tourists ask for Chowhound Recs while tourists who love Times Sq stay there and don't bring a dark cloud upon the "real" NYC gems.

well said! The tourists can go to Ray Bari's and Sbarros. And help support our NY economy! The foodie tourists go here and other boards for good recs from fellow foodies!

How about Don Giovanni's on 44th and 10th? In that area that's where I would get my pizza.

Nothing really good near Times Square for slices. But in Midtown I like Certe, Previti and Naples 45 (there is a takeout spot with a few seats that serves slices, NY style and Naples style...plus half price deal after 2pm).

I agree w Johns Pizza in Times Square. My fiance swears by them too.

I love John's on Bleecker St. I have never been to their Times Sq location but it should be good.

Thank you everyone!

[Motosport]

Make sure you report back!!

It's not. It's quite mediocre.

[Mr Porkchop]

It's not nearly as good as the original location. I'm not sure what I'd suggest in its place though. I've enjoyed Lazarra's and Bella Vita when we need something for work. I think John's gets the job done.

It "should" be just as good as the Bleecker Street location but I'm with Pan. Not as good.

It's decent and gets the job done (especially if you have a large group -- their space is enormous), but don't expect pizza epiphanies.
