On our second full day in New York City, we wanted to try some New York style pizza. We were walking along 8th Avenue heading north from Times Square to Central Park and couldn’t find any suitable stops along the way. So we cut over to Broadway and immediately found 99 Cent Fresh Pizza. Yes, that is actually the name of the place.

Outside

The inside of this place is tiny and was packed full of customers waiting for their pizza orders. It seems this shop sells their pizza quicker than they can make it, but the wait was just a few minutes for my order of four slices. A slice of cheese pizza is 99 cents, but toppings can be added for a small charge.

Inside

We took our slices up to Central Park and had a little picnic with the kids. On first impression I though that I should have just stuck with cheese for all our slices, as the sausage and mushroom topping were not pretty to look at. The mushrooms were obviously from a can and not really all that warm. The sausage was slightly better, but I still enjoyed the cheese the best.

Pizza

The slices were fairly large. The cheese pizza was actually pretty good,though I think it could have used a little more sauce. Definitely skip the toppings, but for the price it is tough to beat a couple of slices of cheese. Plus you can add a can of soda for 75 more cents to make one really cheap lunch.
