New York's Most Exciting Pizza: Cuts & Slices | NYT Cooking

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

There are over 8,000 pizzarias in NYC - so how did a Brooklyn pizza shop with no deliveries become a celebrity destination? They took notes from the sneaker world.
Watch to find out why Lil Yachty, Odell Beckham Jr, Sean Kingston and Rich Homie Quan are lining up for oxtail pizza at Cuts & Slices.

    This is really amazing! My family and I grew up in bed stuy. My parents still there. My younger brother was visiting and I told him about Cuts n Slices. I’ve never been but knew I wanted to visit from NJ during the holidays. I didn’t get to but he did from Indiana & the customer he was on line with and the owner was so kind and generous! That alone I’ll tell every one to support! When customer service is on point and you can create an atmosphere where everyone is kind is PRICELESS! Congratulations on the borough expansion. I’m 100% positive it will be even more successful when you all maintain the high standards for quality and kindness 🙏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾

    I love how each slice becomes a delight, something ephemeral, a treat. This is real food, and although they are different to your classic Italian toppings, in the same way they represent a culture, a terroir, a celebration of products at their moment to shine. I love this clip, and sincerely hope to one day be able to pull up, Beloved!

    These kinds of pizza places are my absolute favorite. Small operation, very gritty, creative, reasonably priced, and super tasty. I've had pizza in Italy itself for over a year and I will always choose pizza from America because here, it's a melting pot of different flavors they exemplify that with what they offer. With that being said, my personal favorite is the opposite of multiple toppings. I love basic Margherita pizza crafted to perfection. If you can do this right for me you earned a customer for life lol.
