L’industrie pizza is by far and away the best pizza by the slice I have ever had. It meets the hype and has raised the bar a bit to high for my liking.

Moving out of New York later this month and have been trying all the hot spots downtown and this is the pizza I find myself coming back to again and again. The first slice I had back in July through today have all consistently been perfection with the best crisp.

The New Yorker (not pictured here) and the fig jam and olive are chef’s kiss. Worth the line.

    Check out Lucia’s in west village. I’m a fan of their Brooklyn spot

  2. So good though you do need to eat it quickly after it comes out else it becomes less good, guess that is with all pizza

    it was just ok, blander than expected. def needed the chili oil and red pepper dust. that brought it up a few points !

    I passed by the other day, it had about 30-35 people in line, and I was too hungry to wait for that. Anyone else have any feedback on where it ranks for you? I think I’ll definitely hit it up once the hype dies down a bit.

    I never had it. In every photo it always looks dry and congealed. Is this truly as good as everybody says? I mean the regular slice, not some newfangled flavor creation. Is it really so amazing or is this just another hyped place with social media savvy? Genuinely asking.

    Had trailed there when it opened. It’s like a non stop machine, so couldn’t even take a bathroom break (no slow moment). Guess I wasn’t well greased for such business.

    Still haven’t been to the WV location. But the OG one always has a line and I remember when it didn’t used to have one.

    NYC just has too many good slice places for me to wait around for 20 or 30 minutes. Fuck that. I live a few blocks from F&F in Carroll Gardens. No line. And very good pizza. Good enough for me.

    L’industrie is bomb. Are there better slice shops out there? Probably! But it still reads as weird and bitter when people hate on l’industrie just because they have a line.

    Honestly it wasn’t that good when I had it the other week, though I waited about 20 minutes from when they gave it to me to eat it

    John’s was very good though. Need to eat it quick to avoid the thin crust sogging up

    I finally tried this place last weekend, excellent pizza. The gelato was weird but good

    That’s the best photo of their slices I’ve seen. The others have looked like garbage to me.

    It amazes me how many people go to this place and skip over Bleecker St pizza. Its so much better, I don’t get hype restaurants

    This definitely an unpopular opinion and probably comes down to personal taste, but I was actually pretty disappointed by L’industrie. Just moved right next to the original, and after hearing about it for so long I was really excited to try it. It was good, but didn’t blow my mind, and really just left me wishing I was closer to Joe’s (my personal fav, generic I know). The 20+ minute wait for a slice didn’t help, and I also wasn’t a fan of cold burrata on a hot pizza

    Waiting on line for a slice is wild to me, but that does look good. I’ll wait for the hype to die down.

  15. socalscribe

    It was ok but not even close to good enough for waiting in that insane line

  16. Honestly.. I wish I loved it more. Super average slice of pizza if you’ve had good pizza before. It’s – good, but… it’s just pizza.

    I don’t get it. We went to the one in Williamsburg last week, waited an hour, and had what was quite possibly the most average pizza we’ve eaten in NY. We were shocked at just how average it was, given the hype. Ended up going to Driggs Pizza parlour after for a decent slice to appease the craving for good pizza

    Trash.

    Pizza palace Inwood Manhattan on dyckman Street. Best pizza

  19. Hungry_Stoic

    The hype here is real. Don’t sleep on their daily sandwiches too

  20. squirrelshine

    I agree. It’s the place i now most consistently eat

    Some one has to tell the Midwesterner’s that New Yorkers don’t wait on line.
