looking for recs for pizza by the slice in manhattan

[mongo]

should be by a line from penn station and within (relatively) easy reach of either the whitney or the met--say no more than a 20 minute walk away. for lunch. please advise.

or just by penn station, i suppose. this is for the purpose of a quick bite on arrival in the city before heading to one or the other museum. oh yes, on a saturday.

People swear by Pizza Suprema. Not my personal fave, but a moment's walk from Penn.

L'Industrie is 15 minutes from The Whitney.

Also there's a pizza place (Filaga?) in Chelsea Market which people like, although I haven't tried it.

I almost always stop into Pizza Suprema when traveling through Penn Station. It's a really solid neighborhood slice in a very high-traffic area. Second L'Industrie but also Mama's Too around the corner. I think both are worth visiting. They're prone to long lines, but apparently, the trick is to order for pickup via the apps to avoid waiting. (Don't quote me on that...I'd look into it first.)

thanks all, for the recs. we really enjoyed the pizza at mama's too when we were in the city with the boys in 2019--the rest of the experience? not so much.

I gotta agree with L'Industrie and Mama's.  But don't forget Joe's, at 7 Carmine/6th Ave.

l’industrie was very good. very long line but it moved surprisingly fast.

A worthy slice place for sure.

I've saved you the trouble by trying it myself. It was pretty good. Terrific crust and tasty tops, both the margherita and the sausage&shishito (nice twist on the original).

I'd be happy to try other foods for you -- but this time was a free, introductory offer. In future there will be a fee.

And when you get bored with "regular" pizza, there's Cuts & Slices. For all your oxtail, jerk salmon and (pictured) shrimp & lobster alfredo with truffles pizza needs.

We went last night before seeing some old people play guitars at Parkside. I thought the topping was impressive - shrimp perfectly cooked, light sauce, not over-salted or over-greased. But the crust is toasted focaccia texture, not my favorite. H had the pepperoni and thought it was okay, sauce too sweet. The staff is fantastic, so welcoming and warm (granted, there were also a lot of cute costumed kids wandering in and out). And the music is really good, too!
