Joe's Pizza in NYC New York

Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village is a famous pizza shop (founded 1975) that serves pizzas NYC style by the slice (as well as pies, of course). 

In the 2004 movie Spider-Man 2, when he is not saving the world, Spider-Man is a delivery man for Joe's Pizza :-D

Despite it's Spider-Man fame, Joe's Pizza is very much a friendly neighbourhood food stop. Regulars pop in all the time while occasionally, a flock of tourists troop in as part of guided "food tours".

A real New York City breakfast/ brunch. A slice of pizza, soda (usually root beer) and newspaper on a ledge.

There are only a handful of stools in the tiny shop, so most customers eat standing around cocktail tables and ledges.

The dough is flipped at the premise, several hundred times a day.

My slice with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella served on a paper plate for USD3.50.

Folding it like a good New Yorker. I could hear the bread creaked and snapped as I folded the slice.

View of the last bite before I ate it.

The crust was nicely crispy while the cheese and tomato topping were thin and slightly dry, which is easily remedied with additional toppings ;-D  Flavour was a tasty balance of mildly savoury and sweet.

Basic, simple, no frills but just perfect for a tasty convenient meal-on-the-go for the go-getting New York City lifestyle.

The plastic bottles of condiments like dried chili flakes and dried oregano which customers can help themselves to.
