This Greenwich Village institution left much to be desired as far as being a go to place for pizza. Despite its reputation in New York’s pizza scene, the slice fell short of expectations. The crust was disappointingly soft lacking the crispness and structure expected from a classic New York slice. The cheese and sauce distribution was uneven, detracting from the overall balance of flavors and was somewhat too oily for this pizza aficionado. While Joe’s Pizza may have historical significance (and Spiderman nostalgic), the quality of the slice I experienced did not live up to its reputation, suggesting it may be overrated in today’s competitive pizza landscape.
