Percy's Pizza serves up pizza pies and slices on Bleecker for over a decade and i have yet to be disappointed by its cheese + sauce + crust offerings. is it the greatest pizza ever in the universe? no, but its pizza is consistently very good pizza. a small retro-ish school pizza joint with a couple of tables inside and some outdoor seating via shed in front. the vibe is very much that of NYC pizzerias that are quickly disappearing from the boroughs's food-scape. well maintained and organized. Percy's doesn't pop up on many folks radars bc it very much a neighborhood spot and hasn't been overhyped by goofy influencers on Instagram and TikTok. but trust me--the plain cheese is where it is at.
there are a variety of specialty pies and slices from pepperoni to mixed to veggies. one thing i like is the slices are not over-the-top and just focus on making a tasty slice without needing any flash or sizzle. that’s why i really appreciate the plain cheese slice for its simplicity and attention to the basics: cheese, sauce, and crust. the plain slice has a crust on the thinner side not too much flop with decent crispness. the sauce is flavorful without being too overpowered by any one element with a little sweetness. it is a simple slice which does not miss. perfect for post-drinking or when you need some calories on the go or simply need to take a break from the city’s din and escape into calories by sitting down with some carbs. plain slice, $2
the staff is chill and genuinely friendly. it’s been a two-man operation. one at the counter and the other making pies.
I stayed in Greenwich Village during my stay in New York City. Mostly based on recommendations and Google reviews, I tried literally 11 pizza by the slice joints in 3 days.
I only ordered cheese/plain slices.
Percy's Pizza has very high reviews so I knew I had to check it out.... And I'm glad I did! It's a $1 joint worth checking out. My slice could have used a little more cheese, but for $1 it was a VERY good pizza. Definitely give Percy's Pizza try when you're in the area.

Good NY slice! Sweet sauce, crispy crust, and greasy. A couple tables to stand and 1.5 big picnic tables outside. Cheap and easy if you wanna grab and go.
Delicious fresh pizza slices. The price is right as well.
Great customer service, always serving with a smile. Pizza is great for the price and conveniently located. I always come here for a quick, staple New Yorker meal!
Affordable, fast, and good. Percys pizza defines a good New York pizza slice. Thin, almost cracker-like crust, strong layer of sauce and good cheese. This pizza is delicious and definitely worth the buck for a slice of the cheese. If In the area pick up a slice. We only tried the cheese and I would get that again.
