Roll and Go

As other’s have already stated, this pizza shop has the best $ 1 pizza in the Times Square area.
You can get $ 1 slice in so many places around the city, but Roll-and-Go’s version is so fragrant and tasty. They don’t just put plain mozzarella and tomato sauce on bread. The tomato sauce is seasoned well with a good amount of Italian seasonings: basil, thyme, oregano, etc. Every time I get a slice, my coworkers are so surprised that it only costs a dollar! Plus, there’s always a line, so you’re almost guaranteed to get a fresh cheese slice when you order.

Definately one of the best dollar pizzas I have eaten. A lot better than 2 Bros. This is one of my spots I go to when I need my cheap pizza fix

Not the best pizza, but definitely a hearty portioned slice for one buck. The service is fast. Grade rating still pending…

Rude staff, tricky pricing, overcharging … It’s robbing…

My favorite $ 1 pizza place in the city. I’ve been to the one diagonally across the street and the guys were rude. The pizza is as hot as you want it to be and very tasty!

I came here for the $ 1 slice ($ 1.50 with toppings). I can’t really say much good about the pizza. It was filling and cheap. It was neither impressively good or impressively bad. It served it’s purpose.

One of the best $ 1 slices I’ve had. And I’ve had a lot!
Always hot and fresh, staff is nice too. I go at least once a week! The ones with toppings are good too. I get the one with spinach and mushrooms sometimes!

I came in here for lunch today. I was tempted to get two slices but I am glad I didn’t. The veggie max slice ($ 3) was piled high with broccoli, yellow bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms and diced tomato. I like my vegetables crispy usually but on pizza I usually like them soft which this was not. And since the vegetables were on top of the cheese it couldn’t get soft by heating.

Good spot for breakfast! Great breakfast special and the food is good. Also good for pizza at lunch time. Cant be $ 1 a slice. It is pretty good pizza.

Go Go Curry closed?
Stop here for the falafel
Fresh made, rocket hot.

Dollar pizzas.
Really, don’t expect dollar slices to be just as good as Artichoke or Bleecker, but comparing it to other dollar slice spots, Roll and Go is solid.
Simple cheese slice is a $ 1, or $ 8 for a whole pie. We got a whole pie to share, and man it was a good sized pizza. Crust doesn’t taste like cardboard like some of these dollar slice places. We sprinkled a ton of garlic, red chili flakes, and parmesean for more flavor.
They also have other items, sorta random collection. Didn’t care for much since we just wanted pizzas.

Dollar pizza is usually a snack for me during the middle of the day. Despite pizza being $ 1 that doesn’t mean it should taste bad. This pizza lacked flavor, the dough was too thick, the balance of the cheese and sauce was off, it was a mess! I’ve had lots of $ 1 pizza but this is ranked one of the few I didn’t enjoy. At least this place has other options of food such as burgers and sandwiches! None of those are a $ 1 though.

I like going here for lunch and appreciate the falafel with unlimited toppings & choice of whole wheat pita or wrap & price. But I once ordered a schwafel (chicken and falafel) and they charged over $ 9 vs the $ 5 for the falafel only so beware order one or the other. Most other places just charge an extra dollar or so. Also note that the pitas – both WW & white – are carb heavy, over 50 grams.
Update: they downsized the place and no more falafal. Only chicken wraps which are a little dry unless you ask them to spice it up on the grill.

1 Dollar pizza. Gives 2 bros a run for its money. i approve!

*please read my previous reviews now since this is an update*
About three weeks ago, I had a craving for a falafel sandwich. I recall a while back there were signs of a falafel special of some sorts at this location. That was the past as the special doesn’t exist anymore. But i ordered a sandwich anyways in hopes of satisfying my crave…
Once i ordered my sandwich, the counter guy scooped up some balls and threw them in the fryer; fresh is a good start! He then offered to stack my sandwich with anything he had available. I wound up choosing a falafel sandwich with corn, hummus, pico de gallo, onions, and other stuff that i can’t remember. I believe it was $ 5.10 after tax:
Initially I was pretty excited to WOOF down my made-​to-​order creation. But one look at the dark falafel balls was an omen of the bad meal which would follow. After my first bite, i confirmed my suspicions of the falafel balls being overcooked and dried out. Despite having many of my favorite toppings and condiments to accompany my sad situation of a sandwich, it was to no avail. The aforementioned weren’t that great to begin with and couldn’t compensate for the pathetic showing of the purpose of my crave: TASTY FALAFEL~!!!
Summary: Roll and Go somewhere else…*wonk~~ wonk~~*

$ 1.50 for a pepperoni slice.
$ 1.00 for a can of Coke.
I like this place because it’s kind to my college student budget. I haven’t any of their other food, but the pepperoni pizza was good. It’s not NY style, though (it’s a little more dough-​y) so if you’re looking for that, you should head on over to 2 Bros Pizza for an equally cheap alternative.
Can’t wait to try their other stuff!

This is a great quick lunch spot, specially if you are with others and you guys all have differences in lunch meals. This pace has falafel, sammiches, sushi, and pizza. You can get a slice of cheese pizza for $ 1, or you can get a vegetarian falafel, w/​a can of soda for $ 4.99.
They let you choose if you want it in a pita bread or as a wrap. I chose the wrap because, they literally make their own tortillas on the spot! 2 stars for freshness! You dont find many places that does that anymore, specially for lunch.
The guy literally flattens your tortilla and makes your falafel all in front of you. You choose the toppings you want. The falafel wrap is bigger than the burritos at Chipotle. I’m not joking. It’s TOO big (yes, there is such thing). I struggle to finish HALF of it.
Also, they dont charge you extra to put hummus in your falafel, like Maoz does.

$ 1 slices of plain pizza all started because of neighboring competitor 2 Bros. Who reigns supreme? Roll and Go’s pizza is a little doughy along with a crisp underside. There is a decent amount of cheese and tomato sauce, but I always find that the cheese is not evenly laid out across the pizza, leaving some sections of the slice with just tomato sauce. Satisfactory at best, though I’d probably go to 2 Bros. for a better quality slice.

My boo and I were on our way back from the Jack’s 99 Cent world when we remembered seeing the $ 1 hamburger or hotdog deal at this place and we wanted to try it out.
I remembered this place was kinda nasty looking from the outside, but I think it was because they weren’t open yet.
The burger you can have for a buck is kinda gross. I mean, what do you expect for a buck? It’s a small patty the size of a slider patty, and probably not the best quality meat. The bun was nice, it was standard sesame seed bun, but way better quality than the basic McDonald’s burger. They also have chicken burgers too, but we didn’t try that. We tried the hot dog as well, and it was a nice bun length weiner, but again, not the best quality. There was no pop to it. Gray’s Papaya this was not.
I guess if those $ 1 specials were designed as a loss leader, they worked. We ate here and I watched them in action. I was really impressed with their fresh tortillas. They laid out the balls of dough, and pressed them, and then moved them to the grill to cook them.
They also fried their falafel fresh out the fryer. I saw them take a large metal bowl and scoop out balls of the ground chickpeas and drop them in the deep fryer. They had a special for a falafel sandwich for $ 3 after 6 pm.
They seemed to be pretty generous with the meat and toppings as well. We got the chicken Shawarma roll. I’d say the amount of meat was maybe 2 or 3 times what you would get at Chipotle, and then the toppings you can get are whatever you want. They had some weird toppings that I didn’t think pair well with the roll such as pickles, middle eastern salads, and other things that are normally eaten as sides. The hummus is good though.
We also ordered some «belgian» fries. Not impressed. The fries themselves were some thin McDonalds type fries, but we were expecting some Pommes Frites level quality. They explained that the fries are just fries topped with anything that you would put in your roll. We wanted some more sauces or maybe cheese.
Looks like these guys are working out some kinks and if they get their act together, they might give 2 bros pizza a run for their money.

I checked out the new Roll and Go fast lunch, conveniently located on the corner of Eighth Avenue and West 38^th Street, with anticipation and trepidation after walking by, watching it go in for a couple of months now. It took awhile before it was even evident that it would be a restaurant. My first thought, once the name was revealed, was mugger’s paraphernalia shop. After I saw a help wanted ad for sushi chef in the window I was tipped off to the cuisine, but also a little frightened. Isn’t that kind of like an airline sticking up a handwritten help wanted sign for a pilot?
The next thing that worried me is when the sign went up and included the phrase «Quality Kitchen» in the same font as Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen just up the street, a favorite of mine to avoid. And the graphics resembled that of «Hale & Hearty Soup.» Both are fast food disguised with old-​timey details, and are boring, overpriced nostalgia disguised slop factories for too busy stress casualties who want their mommies. Was this to be another sinister link in that nefarious chain?
I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt because of the oddball combination of food. You walk in and there is a burrito ordering station, and then a sushi ordering station, and then a falafel ordering station. Essentially, three food carts under one roof, with a small amount of window seating on a very busy corner. In one way it seems like a bad idea, like every other half-​assed buffet in Manhattan that only survives because of the volume of suckers in the street. But then I was thinking, what if a natural evolution of fusion takes place, and things like re-​fried bean sushi rolls and raw tuna burritos and pickled ginger with falafel happens?
So there is that hope for a new place. My sushi was rolled in front of me and was fresh and delicious, and you can’t argue with that, especially after you’ve endured way too many refrigerated, dried out sushi rolls. But somehow a couple of dollars ended up being tacked on. Was that for the extras? What did I get that was extra? The fast-​food packet of wasabi? The black plastic to-​go tray? The workers were all lovely and happy, at least, in the chaos of the new job, new restaurant excitement. Give them a few weeks to get surly. You always have to wonder, with a new place, when the kinks get worked out, do worse kinks get worked in?
