The Story

The Slice Shop That Swirls It All Together

On Houston Street near the F train, Pizza Loves Sauce has built a loyal following as one of the city's most creative — and most underrated — slice shops. It's an all-halal counter, so everyone can dig in without compromising on flavor, and the shop is best known for its Tie Dye slice: a swirl of tomato, vodka, and pesto sauces that's become a bit of a TikTok favorite (and is admittedly messy to eat, but worth it). Regulars also point to the Spicy Vodka Pepperoni for its kick and the massive chicken cutlet sandwich, easily big enough to share. Across the menu, the crust hits that classic New York balance — thin, crispy on the bottom, with just enough chew — and the counter staff are consistently praised for being fast, friendly, and generous with a smile.
