Papi’s Pizzeria

I like this pizzeria it’s uptown on Saint Nicholas in the high 180’s. A nice little hole in the wall average pizza price is $ 1.75 not including all the toppings I didn’t take a picture of the one I eat I have the fresh pepperoni with fresh bacon $ 2.75 the pizza was cooked just right no oil residue running down your arm off the pizza the crust was thin but not too thin had a nice crunch to it no after powder taste or feel left on your hands from the dough and even with the toppings or crust was strong enough to hold it and not give in. I’m a meat lover so the sausage is fresh the ground beef when he did the pineapples that bought the pineapples from the vendor down the block
It’s a take out spot or stand and eat real quick

Just the kind of take-​out pizza place I want to live near! My slices have always been crispy and had just the right amount of cheese. A regular slice is $ 1.75 which I think is very fair. If you were expecting to sit, there are only counters to stand at so plan accordingly.

If your into bread and sauce this is the place for you. They started off with dollar «papi» slices and now they’re $ 1.75 for a tiny barely any cheese pizza. The «x large» slice which is just a regular slice is $ 2.50 way overpriced. I rather walk to broadway and pay $ 2 for a regular slice with a good amount of cheese. The slices look red thats how little cheese they have. I wont be coming back unless they change the price and add more cheese. Also the guy handled my slice with the same hand he handled money with (no glove).

Pizza is delicious, however there is no were to sit and enjoy it, also the place gets packed quickly because it’s a very small area.
Wanna garb a quick And tasty slice for $ 1.50. This is your spot.

A SOLID 4 ½ FOR PRICE, SIZE AND QUALITY OF INGREDIENTS. It would be easy to dismiss a Washington Heights pizzeria called Papi’s Pizza as just another run of the mill neighborhood joint. But if you did that you’d be missing out. I don’t find myself in the city very much anymore, let alone Washington Heights, especially now that I’ve become a family suburbanite woman.
As my luck would have it, my brother does find himself in the area on occasion enough to have fallen in love with Papi’s, and decided to surprise me and my grandparents with two extra large pies. Throw away your preconceptions about what constitutes «large», as I guarantee it doesn’t lie in the same vicinity as what we were met with when we opened the box. The pie was the largest thing I had ever seen. Like, EVER.
One pie was half plain, half mushroom, the other half sausage & pepper and pepperoni. I should mention as an aside that I’m Italian, so I take things like sausage and peppers very seriously … none ever compare to the kind my own family makes. We all dove in. The table was quiet, my family contentedly noshing away like it was the last supper. My grandfather only once actually indicated his enjoyment, a Miranda Priestley-​like gesture of placing his knuckle to his cheek and sucking in. My grandmother couldn’t stop raving about the pepperoni and sausage … and I had to agree both were delicious. Turns out that’s because Papi’s gets its meat specially sourced from a butcher that they have a long-​standing history with and they season the meat in-​house. Their cheese is a specialty kind that is only sold by certain vendors (yes, the dork in me was actually driven to research all of this because I was so impressed by the quality of ingredients). When all was said and done, both pies ended up feeding 10 people … for lunch and dinner.
Despite it’s humble and unassuming appearance, Papi’s apparently prides itself on maintaining old-​fashioned ideals of what a good pizzeria should provide for it’s customers: the best and freshest ingredients, tremendous portions and affordable prices (if you were wondering, as I was, what a pie that monstrous would run you, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that the 20-​inch pizza we had was $ 16; an 18-​inch large pie costs $ 12). So in its mission, Papi’s has succeeded with flying colors. I might actually need to find an excuse to go to Washington Heights now just so I can eat there … or else bribe my brother to start picking up for us regularly.

Who is rating this place five stars? At best, Papi’s is similar to Como on Broadway, in so far as, it is more about value and speed than flavor. I’m not being pizza snobbish and I would love nothing more than a hidden gem in my neighborhood, but Papi’s is just another pre-​heated slice behind plexiglass.

This is a typical cheap pizza spot so it automatic can only top out at 4 starts. So I got exactly what I wanted for the price. My problem is that if you don’t look Spanish then you have to hold a sign to get service… just another place I’ll have to avoid

I was visiting a friend in Manhattan and had a couple of hours to kill and was famished. I remember being told about this place by a friend and when I passed by it, I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to try it out. I had just one regular slice (extra large). All I can say is, for the prices they charge, you are truly getting a BANG for your BUCK! The sauce tasted extremely fresh and nothing was needed to make these slices taste extra exceptional than they already tasted.
I wish they opened up by me in Westchester so I can order from them more!

My office is about 5 blocks away. I had a meeting with someone at noon a few weeks ago and they kept me until almost 2pm, when I was ready to start gnawing off my digits. I had a huge pizza craving and I didn’t want to wait.
I walked into Papi’s and got a slice and a soda.
It was perfect; a crust that screamed Arthur Avenue bakery, great sauce, and the kind of cheese that conjured every Sicilian aunt that ever kissed me against my will on holidays in the 70’s.
Just to make sure it wasn’t ravenous hunger translating such pleasure through my neural synapses to my brain, I went back a few times and they are consistent. I have brought pie home each time since and it never disappoints. One of those secret holes in the wall you don’t want to share, but this is Unilocal,so if you are in that neck of the woods this place is a no-​brainer when you want some ‘za.
