  • Marinara Pizza has a great MVP slice (Marinara, Vodka, Pesto) which is my favorite casual option.

  • I tried them recently, but found it to be mid. They had 3 stuffed crust options. I went with the vodka slice. I thought that the cheese and sauce were nice, but I didn't care for the dough.

  • replying to u/sir_topham_biff: Hype always dies down. You can just go buy a cronut now anyway and it's no issue. Want something from Lafayette bakery, now you can go anytime. Prince St pizza was never really a neighborhood spot. But when it first came out it truly raised the bar on square pizza in the city. Now a decade later essentially they serve slop to people but still have a line. It's still decent but the amount of customers they have, they just can't keep the quality consistent. The original pizzaiolo of Prince, Frank Badali went off and created Made in New York pizza. Which itself was good when it first opened on the UWS. But now is literally worse than Prince St. You can't even get a slice that's cooked anymore. Both of these places just hire workers who don't give a shit about the product. Like so many other places. I wish for the day I can have a pepperoni square at Prince that tastes like it did in 2016 or so. Now you get something closer at Jets pizza.

    I happen to love the square slices at marinara tho.

  • replying to u/pickledplumber: I haven't had it but Marinara pizza does a stuffed crust Sicilian East Village Pizza has some stuffed crust too. I saw a YouTube video on them. They also have a double Decker pizza which may be to your liking. I too like stuffed crust but frankly when I want it I just order from.the chains like pizza hut or little Cesar's.

    Came here to say Marinara sicilian with pepperoni. It's quite good.

  • replying to u/SchnitzelRaider: EV pizza spots: Cello's: vodka slice is great, the rest are super mid Marinara: very underrated, their grandma slice is amazing  Andrea's: solid   Pop's: mid East Village Pizza and Stromboli: mid, great drunk slices 

    I give Marinara credit for their chicken Caesar slice, which doesn't seem to be all that common. Nice change of pace.

  • replying to u/HandjobCalrissian: I know Marinara is a chain, but I've never had a bad or "old" tasting slice there. The MVP (marinara, vodka, pesto) pizza is one of the best gimmicky slices I've ever had.

    Also their gluten-free crust is a banger. Get this a lot since my partner is GF and we can both enjoy pizza here.

  • I think Marinara has a great vodka sauce - enjoy their pink parm sandwich, but I also love they offer it as a dip for their mozz sticks/cheesy bread/knots.

    Agree that just about every slice on their menu is consistently solid, and the MVP is a fun option.

  • replying to u/GrandPoobah395: Did this for Difara years ago. My brother said I HAD to go with him, it'd blow my mind. Went all the way there, waited damn near 30 minutes for two plain slices, paid a goddamn fortune for them, and thought they were mid. It was a good slice, but an hour and fifteen minutes of my life to get it? Nah. I can get a very solid slice around the corner at Marinara, Made in New York, Sal & Carmine's, or Mama's.

    Marinara is not a solid slice dude

    Marinara’s stuffed crust Sicilian is legit. With the pepperoni cups? Get outta here

    IMO pizza is very mid. Just my 2 cents.

    The spinach artichoke is my favorite white slice. Great classic too.

    Can’t believe marinara is being upvoted, it’s bottom tier pizza

  • replying to u/superturtle48: I did this once for L'Industrie and yeah it was a solid slice, but definitely wouldn't wait 45 minutes for a slice of pizza again. There are enough good slice spots around that you can just get in and out, and they're much closer to me too.

    I can get a very solid slice around the corner at Marinara, Made in New York, Sal & Carmine's, or Mama's.
