Authentic Staten Island Pizza in the Heart of the East Village

Joe & Pat’s NYC brings a slice of Staten Island's pizza legacy to Manhattan’s East Village. Just a short walk from some of the city's top live music venues, this casual, no-frills pizzeria is beloved for its ultra-thin crust and classic New York charm. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with a mix of locals, foodies, and concert-goers stopping in for a bite before or after a show. Whether you're dining in or grabbing a slice on the run, Joe & Pat’s delivers consistently delicious pies in an unpretentious setting.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located mere minutes from East Village and Lower Manhattan music spots, Joe & Pat’s is a go-to stop for pre-show fueling. The service is quick, making it easy to grab a pie or slice without missing your opening act. It’s also a great option if you're looking for a lively atmosphere to get hyped with friends before heading out. With tables often turning fast, you won’t have to wait long, even during peak hours.

Many describe it as a must-visit for pizza lovers, with several claiming it's “worth the trip” even if you’re not staying nearby.

Areas for Improvement

While most diners love the food, some mention that the space can feel a bit tight during peak hours—so expect a bit of a squeeze on busy nights. Also, this isn’t the spot for a long, lingering meal; it’s more about keeping things quick and satisfying.
