First time there this afternoon. Just moved here from Florida. definitely wanted some real authentic pizza. had the BBQ pizza and it was amazing. Will definitely be my go to spot for either lunch or even dinner.
Whole pepperoni pizza, delivered. Better than I expected, but not great either. Main drawback was the crust being too stretchy and doughy - it may have just but undercooked. It’s my only experience with Slice so it’s unclear if this is the norm. I would want something with more crunch. Delivery time was 1h20m, so we were really worried it would arrive stone cold but were pleasantly surprised it was warm and reasonably fresh. Sauce was abundant and flavorful with a decent zing. Cheese similarly abundant and typical of NYC pizza - not great but suitable. Will try a slice sometime to see how that compares. The dearth of pizza in LIC makes this a top local option.
Best pepperoni and sauce flavor that I’ve ever had. I always come here! My daughter’s favorite is the spinach artichoke. She lives on upper west side and says it is the best slice she ever had.
sLICe LIC Pizzeria • Long Island City Stopped by sLICe LIC Pizzeria (48-11 Vernon Blvd, LIC) and grabbed a regular slice — perfect game day vibes, no flop, just a solid classic. Highly recommend if you’re craving a straight-up good slice. If you want to switch it up, they’ve got a ton of flavors to choose from. I tried the MVP slice (Marinara, Vodka, Pesto) and it was a total winner. Flavor bomb in every bite. Long Island City, you’ve got yourself a pizza gem right here. #NYCPizza #LongIslandCity #PizzaLovers #sLICeLIC #FoodieNYC
Went for a quick lunch on a weekday in June. They have a few pizzas ready out front, so just picked a slice each of the cheese pizza, and of the spinach artichoke. They were both decent. I was in and out within 5 minutes. Staff is friendly. Total for just 2 slices came to 8.50 plus tips, so not cheap.
Friendly staff. We got here just before closing. Pizza was very good but out too long by the time we got to it. Crust is thin but a little too dense for my liking. We ate them on the hood of the car. I’m soo full right now. FYI. I gave bonus stars to the review because the guy hooked us up with two free slices of your choosing. I think he burnt the two regular slices. It is what it is.
