So this is one of my favorite places in NYC to eat whenever I am there. The food is excellent, especially the Sicilian red, and the staff is always happy to see you. They are open 24/7 and you can get it by the slice, the whole pizzeria, you name it.<br><br>What more could you ask for.

I had a great experience at Little Italy Pizzeria and Deli. The pizza was classic New York style with a crisp crust and rich, cheesy flavor. Portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. The vibe was casual and welcoming, perfect for a quick bite or relaxed meal. Definitely a reliable spot for satisfying, no-fuss comfort food.
I'm from Boston visiting NYC! And wow!! The absolutely best pizza I've ever had! Like I mean Boston makes superb pizza but new York pizza is really the best pizza try this location I swear u will love it soft but crunchy pizza the Stromboli was also fantastic.
Good service, paid 10,87$ for a Sicilian and a plain slice. You had opportunities to sit down and the slices very delicious.
Great pizza place that sells by the slice. There’s seating available, the prices are reasonable, and the pizzas are pretty good. It’s much less crowded than the nearby spots, making it a great option if you want to grab a slice without waiting in line.
Overall experience was a 10/10! Tried the Buffalo chicken slice (7.8/10) — super good, amazing crust, just wish it had a little more ranch. The pepperoni slice was 8/10, fresh and delicious. Great pizza, great service — definitely recommend Little Italy Pizzeria & Deli! 🍕
Sadly, big time fan moving on here. Recently found that this location hides receipts, and doesn’t give refunds when orders are made wrong. I’ve been going there for six years and with one night of mean attitudes and shady answers regarding tips and receipts, I’ll be avoiding this business moving forward. Would’ve been a $10.00 refund.<br><br>They also asked me to bring the old pizza back the next day. So here’s the proof I’ll be returning it in the box tomorrow.
Their pizza was actually delicious. We were craving classic NYC slices but were too tired to head to one of the top-rated spots. To our surprise, this 4.3-rated place served absolutely amazing pizza — perfectly crunchy on the bottom, flavorful, and truly satisfying. Really good, definitely recommend.
Nice big selection of pies. Good sauce and flavors. The crust is neither thin or thick, but has an airy, light but crunchy feel. The prices are not outrageous like most of Manhattan, but more in line with outer boros and Long Island, maybe even cheaper. Counter guys are nice. I like the bright red tiled walls in the dining area. Convenient to South Street Seaport.
The Sicilian Pepperoni slice here looked appetizing, so I tried one. It's overflowing with scrumptious pepperoni, the sauce is great, the cheese is fantastic, and the crust at the end was very good. All factors of the slice were perfect. Try it!
We always stop in for a slice when we are in NYC. Lived around the corner for 18 years. Great little spot. Pizza fresh and it's a quick meal. Total NYC atmosphere. Get in, eat and get out!
When exploring around the seaport stop in for a quick bite to eat at Little Italy Pizzeria and Deli. Plenty of choices and the crispiest crusts of all the pizzas in NYC. Excellent.<br>There is a also a nice inside area to sit and eat.<br>No issues. Great pizza.

Very friendly and kind people working in this pizzeria. Always fast, polite and respectful. Pizza is thin and crispy! Big choice. Love to take couple slices to go and eat by the pier 17 looking at the water and bridges 🌉 thank you for being open so late so we can get food after crazy party night 🥳🍕
One of the best slices of pizza in the city. The Margherita Pizza was a perfect blend of gooey cheese and rich marinara. I don’t normally write reviews for spots. But this spot is a banger. 😊😋
