Famous 99-cent Pizza is now open on East 14th Street

The Famous 99-cent Pizza signage arrived on East 14th Street at the former Desi Roti back on Nov. 17...

And now — it's Grand Opening time this week here just west of Avenue A...


East Village Hawkeye, who took the above photo, ate here and noted that it was pretty tasty as far as 99-cent slices go...

Meanwhile, as everyone has noted, it does seem as if there are more and more cheap-slice shops here. One theory, per Pinch in the comments on the original post:

I'm starting to think this is some kind of reality TV show, like let's see how many cheap pizza shops we can gradually (or may not so gradually) put in one neighborhood and watch people's reactions.

    i like to put a lot of garlic and stuff on my 99 center - it makes it taste better.

    I-)

    should pizza ever really cost more than 99 cents?

    Grieve. I see that I failed to have properly proof-read my post. For this I am sorry. Thanks for reiterating my theory though!

    @ pinch

    I've been going into the cheap slice joints now and LOOKING FOR HIDDEN CAMERAS!

    HA. In matters like these one can never be too cautious. If I had to guess, given his propensity to not mind his own business when it comes to food, I'd say Bloomberg's definitely in on it.

    Hate to be a naysayer, but you get what you pay for. I don't even think it's real cheese and they use tomato sauce that has to be boiled before eating. And they take a bite out of shops that strive to put out quality food. Just saying...

    This pizza tastes like it should be worth 49 cents. Where is the sauce? The pizza is tasteLESS! The walk up door is a nightmare on rainy days (only been here twice and it was raining both times). Did I say the pizza should be worth 49 cents? More like 29 cents. If you want a "quality" 99 cent slice...Joey peperoni around the corner is the way to go.
