Caruso’s

This is some of the best pizza I’ve had, and I’ve grown up in the New York/​New Jersey area. Whenever I’m in Penn, I always stop and get a slice of the supreme!

RJ wanted to grab a slice here because he remembered that it was great pizza when he grew up in NY. Unfortunately it is no longer Italian. Or good. My $ 3.15 + tax cheese slice had about a pound of chewy, tasteless dough, flavorless sauce, and rubbery cheese. As we were ordering, the woman in front of us finished her pizza and said something like «When I come to New York I want New York pizza» and the employee said «Did you like it?» and she said «NOT AT ALL.» Agreed. If I could rate this a zero, I would. RJ was very disappointed that his great pizza has been ruined, but he said our mission now is to find the best slice in all of NY, because it’s not here.

Not very good pizza. Soggy crust. No sauce. Cheese is cheap. Expensive. Pepperoni pizza is a plain slice cooked already with pepperoni added after. Its only redeeming value is that it is convenient.

This used to be my favorite spot while i was in high school and college to grab food before hitting the train after a long night of drinking and i loved how big the slices were. I hadn’t been back here in a while, and decided to give it a shot after walking by the other day. Still a pretty solid spot, definitely the best in penn station. $ 2.75 for a huge slice. Really good cheese to sauce ratio, and the sauce had a good sweetness. I gotta take some points off for the dough. It started thin and actually had a nice crunch to it, but as i got further up it just became too doughy and chewy. Definitely at the top of my list for penn station eats.

KEEP WALKING.
I am ashamed and embarassed that this «pizza» is offered in our great city. What’s worse is the prime real estate these guys have inside of Penn Station, located smack dab in the middle of the bustling hub where so many people are doomed to pass through, often hungry/​tired/​drunk/​hungover and desperately seeking a good greasy slice. You will not find it here. Instead you will get a floppy, rubbery, lukewarm triangular shaped piece of dough that at a quick glance resembles a slice of pizza.
Conveniently located as it may be, I must direct you to Rosa’s– the only acceptable place to get pizza when inside the walls of Penn:
If you’re facing Caruso’s, turn 90 degrees counterclockwise and walk down the main drag towards the 8^th avenue entrance. Walk along the right hand side. You will pass a Starbucks (there are two), a small bookshop, a K-​Mart, and eventually come across Rosa’s (on the right). You’re welcome.

why oh why did i get pizza here? the ppl who work here are RETARDED. my bf ordered a slice of cheese, and after heating it in the oven they gave it to another customer who ordered after us. when my bf complained, they took that slice (which was apparently the last one) AWAY from the other customer and gave it to my bf. who does that?!? and how did you run out of cheese pizza? my veggie slice was cold. broccoli was raw, everything sucked.

Was on the move so swooped into get a quick slice. It was ok but the price is ridiculous. For that price I will bring myself elsewhere in Penn because there are about a million other places to grab a bite!

WHY WHY WHY did i eat you,
you whack-​cheese-​topping,
cardboard-​chicken-​chunk,
let’s-just-throw-the-broccoli-wherever-we-feel-like-it,
$ 4.06 +tax SLICE OF MISERY???
i was desperate. next time, i shall remind myself that desperate. is never desperate enough for Caruso’s Pizza.

Caruso’s Pizza is as good as David Caruso’s acting.
CSI dump their cheesy, overwrought work in the trash.
Go up one floor in Penn Station to Don Pepe instead.
