A Slice of New York

About the Business

Specialties

I grew up in NYC. Pizza to me is a comfort food and something that is more than just something to eat. It is not a fancy food. It is a delicate balance of crust, sauce, and cheese. Without this foundation in place, you can't make great pizza. Many places tend to pile on ingredients and toppings that tend to confuse the palate..we do not do that. If you've never been here before, let me offer this suggestion: Try a plain slice (just cheese). It will allow you to taste all the flavors in balance. Then, once you know how the base pie tastes, feel free to add items. We offer combination pies and slices, and we can always make something custom for you. Strombolis and calzones are made to order. We also have garlic knots. Our cannoli, tiramisu, Brooklyn Blackout cake, and NY Cheesecake come all the way from Syosset, Long Island. We use only the best ingredients. Period. In NY, if your service or food quality is less than exceptional, you'll be out of business in six months. We live by that standard here at A Slice of New York.

History

Established in 2006.

This is our second place! We opened here on Jan 1, 2011. We heard you loud and clear...you wanted parking and seating. Well, we have that plus beer and soda on tap. No need to repeat the story that led us to opening up our Stevens Creek location back in 2006 as you can look online at our other business page (3443 Stevens Creek, San Jose). We look forward to serving Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and the surrounding area, especially our local corporate partners for corporate catering. We can handle 40-350 person lunches out of this location. On July 1, 2017, A Slice of New York became the first brick-and-mortar worker cooperative in the South Bay. We hope we will be the first of many more to come to help create a more equitable society. See ya soon.

I grew up in Manhattan.  I still (and probably always will) consider NYC my home.  I'm a tech guy by trade and nature.  I grew up on pizza, Sabretts, and Italian ices.  I miss mass transit that works and walking to just about anything.  I still cannot get over how hard it is to find good food here.  There is a lot of good food out here, the problem is you have to drive all over to find it.I eat pizza every day we are open.  Every day, I feel we deliver what I would call home.  People ask me all the time, "What is your favorite pizza place?"  While John's and Lombardi's are great places, they are not what New Yorkers eat every day in NYC and expect every day.  There are so many good places and so many bad places.  My advice: Try one (not in Times Square).  If you don't like it, try another.  You will find one.I ask the following question of our place every day: "If I went here in NYC, would I come back?"  So far, the answer has been a solid "Yes."  I love our pizza....just plain :)
