Busted booths- Soggy pizza slices- ravioli drowning in so much sauce they had to be "fished" out, and service from every single employee like it was an inconvienience that we were there! One of the kitchen staff that delivered our food literally tossed the food infront of us. Nothing about this place was reminicent of a NY slice! Only good thing about the place was the "good ice", need I say more? I know this spot has been around for years, and from what i remember, used to be great, but with all the other choices on the market today, they need to step up their game, especially in service! "Miss thiss", super disapointed.

Not New York Pizza by Any Stretch Having lived in New York (Brooklyn) for an extensive period of time, I can say with confidence that this place is far from authentic NY pizza or even the lower end of it. The 18" “thin crust” I ordered could easily qualify as Chicago style it was thick, super doughy, and slightly undercooked. Honestly, it reminded me more of a major frozen brand than anything freshly made. With food prices climbing higher every day, sometimes after a 16-hour shift I just want to come home to a nice treat. Something comforting, familiar, and worth the small splurge. Instead, I ended up disappointed, wishing I’d just made something simple at home. For a place calling itself New York Pizza Department, I expected a lot more authenticity and care. Especially for the 44 bucks spent. Is it really so difficult to ask for quality and honesty? On another note. Although the location is only about three miles away, my order arrived by bicycle cold. The delivery courier was kind and polite, but the delivery took far longer than it should have, in my opinion. .....at least the ranch dressing was acceptable.

What happened to JC’s? Once my favorite pizza in ABQ, (I’m from Philly). Picked up a large pie tonight, excited for a nice treat to only be disappointed. Almost no sauce very little cheese and what was there was dried out overcooked. Usually there is grease running off my hands and face. This pizza almost inedible. What a shame! On a positive note, the pepperoni was still great!

Stopped by here for a quick slice in the late evening. It was my first time visiting here so wasn’t sure what to expect. The bartender was polite, she let me know about the daily special which included two slices of cheese pizza and a drink for $8.50. I added toppings to both at 0.65 cents a topping and subbed a beer which ended up bringing the total to around $13 -ish. Pretty good deal. The service overall was great, even late at night just before closing time and the slices were made to perfection. Couldn’t have asked for anything better to be honest. So I’ll be sure to keep coming back!! 🍕

Food was great. But service was horrible and the place is dirty and dingy. The staff seem like it’s a nuisance to take an order and do their job. Don’t think I’ll come again but if you do the pizza is good though. It is a bit pricy though for some reason.
