Paulie Gee's
East Village

Paulie Gee's East Village Slice Shop turned a corner Dunkin' into a love letter to old-school New York pizza. Opened this spring at First Avenue and Sixth Street, the shop is run by George Lin, a longtime Paulie Gee's team member who spent years learning the craft before opening his own spot. The retro interior — checkerboard tile, wood paneling — nods to the original Greenpoint slice shop, but this is Lin's place now. Expect classic NY slices with a light, foldable crust, whole pies, and a vegan menu that holds its own against the rest. It's a East Village institution in the making, one slice at a time.
