Bite Me Best Pizza, East Village

Address: 700 East 9th Street at Avenue C
Purchase: 2 regular slices
Cost: $2.50 each
Pizza Rating:


After attending the Boston Terrier Meetup at Tompkins Square this afternoon we walked over to Avenue C to get some coffee at Ninth Street Espresso and found Bite Me Best. We got some plain slices and ate them across the street in the lovely La Plaza Cultural community garden. Even though it was enjoyed under the very pleasant shade of the willow trees, the pizza was just okay. First of all, $2.50 is a little high, although it was a hearty slice. The crust was fairly thick, and a little bland. The cheese was also thick, and there was lots of sauce too. Next time I'd try the lasagna slice—maybe pasta is their thing.

I have fond memories of sneaking off to the East Village and Alphabet City back when I was in high school. It seemed the edgy, urban thing for a Westchester kid to do. I have a feeling the area has been gentrified a lot since then.

The pizza slice doesn't look very inspired, though. I can see why it merits only a 2.5 rating.

Yes exactly, uninspired is the exactly the right word. And you're right about Alphabet City, but it is still a pretty unique neighborhood.
