Il Mattone

Il Mattone is a hole-in-the-wall pizzeria on Beach Street. the tiny pizza shop has no seats—it’s basically a takeout and delivery joint. it’s a little messy inside but the interior is clean. there are small parks within walking distance if you want to eat al fresco and enjoy your ‘zza right away. il Mattone has a variety of pies and slices on display— their menu includes a variety of pasta and sandwiches, too. while there is no lack of good pizza places in NYC—Il Mattone hits this standard easily and serves up a very good to great classic NYC slice. grabbed two slices for lunch, and the ‘zza did not disappoint. the slice is everything you want in the old school New Yorker pizza. the slice is thin crust style—fairly crispy and a little bit of chew in the crust. the sauce is seasoned well balanced between saltiness, sweetness, and Italian spices. a soft melty blanket of cheese topping it all. all combining to make one delicious slice that will sate the hangriest of eaters. served super hot as i prefer. plain cheese slice, $3 + tip staff is curt and efficient.

Friendly staff, delicious food! I had the chicken cutlet with sauce but no cheese. It was so delicious! It’s often difficult to find Italian food without cheese or dairy within the recipe, so I was super pleased that they put the cheese on separately so I was able to enjoy a simple meal here.

The guys who work here are super chill. Great pizza and also great chicken cutlets. They took extra time to explain the chicken cutlet and sauce ingredients for us to make sure it was dairy free for a dietary restriction. The cheese is added on top later.

I love this place. Tiny, reasonably priced. Lunch specials with ample portions. Real silly Italian-Ams run it. Smells like garlic when you walk in. Everything is delish.

Absolutely delicious pizza slices and very friendly staff. Came all the way from Copenhagen and this was a very promising introduction to NY style pizza.

Easily one of my favorite pizza spots in the city. Their vodka pie is incredible and the staff are all lovely. I highly recommend it!

I'm always finding great pizza places in Tribeca. This place is on the quieter side of the neighborhood. Great pizza with a lot of flavor and seasoning to it, but it had too much garlic. High quality cheese. It was the standard price for a slice $3.00. They had a couple tables to eat but I just ate outside. Would recommend.

Omg just like Nonna the Sicilian pizza I thought I was sitting at my nonnas table eating pizza. There rice balls amazing and Vodka sauce is the best I ever hadFood: 5/5
