Fuggedaboutit the dollar slice — some of NYC's best pizza is a 'benchmark' $5
“It’s almost like a treat. I wouldn’t group [this] into, ‘I’m getting a slice of pizza.’ I think of it more like, ‘Let’s get dinner’ with my friends or something. It’s fancier,” said Annie Gao, a 23-year-old p.r. worker who lives in the Financial District.Of course, quality ingredients are frequently used by pizza makers as justification for the dramatic increase in prices.
At Scarr’s Pizza on the Lower East Side, owner Scarr Pimentel works with all-natural, 100% stone-milled flour to create one of the better classic slices available in New York City. A standard cheese slice is still a relative steal at $3.75, but for pepperoni, you’ll now pay nearly $5.At Fini, however, $5 doesn’t necessarily pay for even a hint of cheese — one popular option is a tomato slice, made with costly San Marzano tomatoes and Calabrian chili oil, topped with garlic breadcrumbs.
“It’s an $8 latte, a $5 pizza slice, a $20 sandwich,” Guity said. “That’s kind of where we’re at now in New York City.”
