NYC's Original Double-Stacked Pizza

Quick answer: Double-stacked pizza is two full New York-style pizzas baked together as one, with extra mozzarella between the layers — an East Village Pizza original since 1997 that isn't offered anywhere else in Manhattan.

Double-stacked pizza is two full New York-style pizzas baked together as a single pie, with an extra layer of mozzarella and toppings packed between the two crusts. The result is a taller, heartier slice with double the cheese pull and double the flavor in every bite. East Village Pizza created this style and it's become one of our most-ordered specialty items.

Every double-stacked pizza starts with the same hand-tossed, 72-hour cold-fermented dough we've used since 1997. We layer fresh-made mozzarella and your choice of toppings between two full pizzas, then bake until golden and bubbling. It's a bigger, more shareable take on the New York slice you already love.

Double-stacked pizza isn't a marketing name for a thicker crust, and it isn't a deep-dish pie either. It's two complete New York-style pizzas, each with its own crust, baked together with a layer of extra mozzarella and toppings sandwiched in between. That structural difference is what makes it something genuinely its own — not a bigger version of a regular slice, but a different format entirely.

East Village Pizza created it in 1997 and has made it the same way ever since. Both layers use the same 72-hour cold-fermented dough as the rest of the menu, which matters more than it sounds — a thinner or less-developed dough would go soggy under the weight of a second full pizza and a double layer of cheese. The 72-hour fermentation is what lets it hold its structure instead of collapsing in the middle.

It's fully customizable — Margherita, pepperoni, buffalo chicken, or a build-your-own on either layer, so the two halves don't even have to match. A full 18-inch double-stacked pie runs $46, big enough that it's become the default order for game days and group hangouts, where more pizza per box beats waiting around for seconds.

First-timers sometimes assume it's just a thicker crust until they order it once — the difference is obvious immediately: double the dough structure, double the cheese pull, and a slice that holds its shape on the plate instead of folding flat. It's become one of East Village Pizza's most-ordered specialty items, and it's available any day the kitchen is open — until 4am Sunday through Wednesday, and 5am Thursday through Saturday — for pickup, delivery, or dine-in at 145 1st Ave.
