replying to u/JayMoots: Best truly local choices are Pop's Pizza and Los Tacos #1. And I'm probably going to lose cred from the other members of this sub, but I should point out that foreign tourists seem to enjoy the novelty of American fast food. You might want to steer them to one of our less embarrassing chains like Shake Shack, Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane's, Chipotle or Five Guys. Those all have locations either in or near Times Square.

replying to u/J_Marc: Pops on 57th is one of my favorites. Sacco is good. A little further south in Hell’s Kitchen is Vito’s slices and ices which feels like a classic. And then south of that zillions is insanely under hyped. So two that answer your question and two to walk to if you want some variety!

replying to u/Low_Association5594: I actually have been there I just totally forgot to put it on my list. I think maybe I got really lucky with my Pop’s slice because it was pre close to Vito’s for me. My online issue with Vito’s was that the pepperoni was so oily but the slice was one of the best I’ve had.

replying to u/purplesnowcone: I randomly tried Pop's Pizza around 57th Street (actually was in the underground market there) and was quite surprised. It's a very good slice. If you're in the area, give it a try.
