- skavi 3y agoHad no idea. They’ve got great pizza with very reasonable prices. (and some huge sizes)
- reducesuffering 3y agoVery reasonable prices are $40 + 8% coop fee for a standard large pizza? That's almost $50 after tax. https://asliceofny.com/sunnyvale/menu/ https://asliceofny.com/sunnyvale/menu/
- laweijfmvo 3y agoA large cheese is $25, and 18” is quite large. Expensive maybe but it’s legitimately good pizza as other have said.
- reducesuffering 3y agoSure, i'm not commenting on the tastiness. Just that I remember balking at the $40 I spent for a pizza there, and am surprised that anyone thinks the prices are "reasonable" when it's likely one of the most expensive pizza places in the entire country.
- magicalist 3y agoI mean: http://www.pizzamyheart.com/menu/ http://www.pizzamyheart.com/menu/ Maybe there's more to the prices than the co-op structure?
- hot_gril 3y agoIt's still less, even without the 8% fee which they explicitly say is because it's a co-op.
- syedkarim 3y agoAs a reference point: An 18” Whole Foods pizza is $15 at full price and $10 on Fridays.
- dragonwriter 3y agoA “standard large pizza” is 14", the size of their small; 16" is a common extra-large size, their large is 18” (1.65× the size of a “standard large pizza”, by area.) $43.20 ($40+8%) is quite reasonable for an 18" multiple topping pizza.
- reducesuffering 3y agoThanks for helping remind me of the Bay Area / tech wealth bubble. Meanwhile the first pizza place I find with good reviews elsewhere in the country has a 18" multi topping for $25, and two 16" for $37.
- theogravity 3y agoYeah, that is pretty steep. Bibo's NY Pizza in San Jose has $23 for a 20" (XL) with no toppings. https://www.bibosnypizzamenu.com/?product_id=6167820 https://www.bibosnypizzamenu.com/?product_id=6167820
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoI do enjoy these moments. When they thing someone writes says something so clearly besides the words they used.
- detourdog 3y agoPatsy's on 119th in NYC large and small pizzas were the same size but the number of slices was greater in a large pizza.
- hot_gril 3y agoMan. They ask for a tip on top of the co-op fee too, despite it being take-out. Fugget about it.
- thatoneguy 3y agoAwesome, that's so good to see. IIRC the founder was ex-Cisco. I haven't lived in San Jose in over a decade but Slice of NY is the only thing I miss other than my friends.
- hot_gril 3y agoI remember going there once in Sunnyvale. Decent pizza, but the price was too high even for the area, so I didn't return. There's also a funny "wall of shame" full of pictures of customers who were supposedly very rude, according to each description. Now I'm just there to kindly buy pizza, but I want 0 chance of somehow getting blamed for something and ending up on a public enemy list. There were like 20 paper signs telling me what to do cause of covid19 protocols, and maybe I'd miss one. I can appreciate quirky places that don't treat the customers like kings (cause they're not), but they're supposed to be cheaper as a result. Next door is an Indian restaurant that makes very good wraps, and they're friendly. Easy decision. My favorite pizza shop is a co-op too, Cheeseboard. Supposedly $2.50 for a slice or $20 for a pizza, idk if that's accurate but I remember it being reasonable either way, especially given the quality. Making exactly one kind of pizza all day is more efficient, so it makes sense.
