Proof that good quality product will earn a business a good reputation. Fresh, delicious pizza with real mozzarella cheese, crispy and flavourful crust, pepperoni that bakes into meat-cups, and super-kind staff. Also, the building façade is beautiful.

Open for just more than a year, Sofia Pizza Shoppe has joined the ranks of NYC's truly great slices—and much needed in this part of town. Don't sleep on the signature spinach slice, though you can't go wrong with a thin and crisp plain slice. Pepperoni is the perfect thickness—it cups and crisps just right. This shop keeps a tight focus and does things right.

Very sloppy slices, but tasty. Extra sauce and nice crisp crust, albeit too thin for the toppings (just tomato and cheese!). Great value though!

Pretty good pizza!! small space but still tasty pizza, $7 for 2 slices & a soda

THE EXPLORER

We walked into Sofia the other day for a quick lunch. They offer a lunch special and we ordered it plus one extra slice. The cheese slices were excellent. Thin crust and cooked nicely. Very limited seating in or out but we got two seats at the bar where the windows open to the sidewalk. All in all, a very good lunch. Back again for a good lunch while the day is warming up and the sun is out. Another delicious pizza lunch for two.

Since 1955, you can have here one of the best Pizza slices in the city . Always crunchy, tasty and fresh. The waitstaff are very friendly. Highly recommended!

More like a 4.5/5. The crust is very thin and snaps like a cracker, while the sauce and cheese are very high quality. The best we had was the Sicilian, where you could really taste the delicious cheese and sauce. Our second favorite was the Vodka. My partner liked the spinach a lot too (it's a very spinachy taste, which I personally don't like, but you'll love if you like spinach). The pepperoni slice was good, though pretty salty. Overall, a great choice for this neighborhood.

Update: Been back a couple of times since with much better pizza and etiquette from the staff. Sicilians have been delicious (and upside down vodka one particularly standing out) and classic slice has been solid. Upgrading rating as a result. Original: Underwhelming. Sicilian was really dry and didn't have much flavor, spinach dip slice was fine but I wouldn't be in a rush to go back for it. Guy behind the counter had an attitude and was rude to folks in the shop with accents that were tricky to understand as well. Overall really not great.

Strong pepperoni slice and the specialty (square pan pizza grandmas style with onions) was intriguing. Upside down slice was very subpar and dried out. Good Pizza but I see why it dropped out of the top 100 in the US this past year.

Spinach Dip Pie is good. Everything else just so-so. I stay nearby sometimes, but had a bunch of slices delivered in the rain, so maybe ordering slices just isn't the way to go, so ignoring temperature, the flavor and topping of the slices just wasn't anything to write home about. The Season Grandma slice with cup and char pepperoni and hot honey was the second best, but I've had better elsewhere. If you're in a pinch or imbibing at the GoC across the street, come here, get that Spinach Pie slice. Sadly, otherwise, plenty of other good pizza spots within a 5 minute walk of here that I'd prefer to go to.

The pizza tastes fine, but quality and quantity do not match the price. $4.90 for basically a cheese slice with a few pepperonis thrown on it. It should only cost about $3.
