Most pizza places close around midnight. Some shut their doors even earlier. That's understandable—New York is busy, but running a kitchen into the early morning isn't easy.
At East Village Pizza, we've always believed that New York never really sleeps, and neither should great pizza.
That's why we're open until 3AM Sunday through Thursday and 5AM every Friday and Saturday, serving fresh New York-style pizza long after many other restaurants have called it a night.
Late-Night Pizza Is Part of New York City
The East Village has always been one of Manhattan's liveliest neighborhoods.
After concerts, comedy shows, bars, live music, late work shifts, and nights out with friends, people still want one thing before heading home—a real New York slice.
Unfortunately, many late-night options aren't actually making fresh pizza anymore. You'll often find slices that have been sitting for hours under warming lights or restaurants rushing to close.
We think late-night customers deserve the same quality as everyone else.
Fresh Pizza Until Closing Time
Being open until 5AM doesn't mean lowering our standards.
Every pizza we serve is made using the same process that we've followed for decades.
Our dough is cold-fermented for 72 hours to develop its flavor and texture before it's baked in our Baker's Pride ovens, creating the crisp yet foldable crust that defines authentic New York-style pizza.
Whether you stop by at noon or 2:30 in the morning, you'll get the same fresh ingredients, the same handcrafted pizza, and the same attention to quality.
The clock doesn't change how we make pizza.
Serving the East Village Since 1997
For nearly three decades, East Village Pizza has been part of the neighborhood.
Located at 145 First Avenue, we've welcomed generations of New Yorkers, NYU students, hospital workers, musicians, restaurant staff finishing late shifts, tourists exploring the city, and anyone craving authentic pizza after midnight.
Late-night pizza has become part of our identity because it's part of the East Village itself.
This neighborhood has always had energy long after the rest of the city starts winding down.
More Than Just a Slice
Some customers stop in for a quick cheese slice before catching the subway.
Others order one of our specialty pizzas to share with friends after a night out.
Popular late-night favorites include:
Classic Cheese Pizza
Pepperoni Pizza
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Margherita Pizza
Sicilian Square Pizza
Grandma Pizza
Our signature Double Stacked Pizza
No matter what you order, every pizza is prepared with the same commitment to quality that has made East Village Pizza a neighborhood favorite since 1997.
