    Amazing pizza! I love how the bottom of the crust isn't soggy like other Napoli style pizzas. Great service and friendly staff. Pictured: Killer Bee, Spicoli 2.0, Kale Salad.

    The best pizza in Hells Kitchen!! Unreal topping options and flavours.. amazing quality ingredients! We had a lush butternut squash dish for starters. Perfect place for mid week girls night or a date night! We cannot wait to come back!!

    My friend and I went to B Side Pizza at 4pm (their opening) on a Wednesday. We were the only people in there for a while, but around 5pm, it started to get full. Their interior has a classy ambiance yet remains more intimate because of the size. I got the Marge ($18) and my friend got the Mr. White ($21). As previous reviewers have mentioned, the pizzas are pretty wet. However, I have an oil sensitivity and it was not triggered here, so it must have not been too bad. Personally, their ratios are a bit off to me. The pizza is so thin (which probably contributes to the wet issue), and the rest of the dough seems to be put into the crust. I would prefer a more even split, especially because parts of the crust were charred. For flavors, the margherita did not taste like the standard. It was salty and the freshness of the basil and mozzarella were not coming through. My friend's white pizza had significantly better flavors! Service here was amazing! Everyone was extremely attentive, even when they started getting busy. Our water was constantly refilled. They were also extremely quick to clear plates, although that could make people feel rushed. Some people mentioned their high price point, but I feel like they are comparable with other places in the city. If they fixed the dough issue, I would not be mad at the price for the location and ambiance.

    Unbelievable little hole in the wall that we stumbled on while headed somewhere else for dinner. The smell and the ambiance quickly changed our mind to pizza for dinner. Two meat packing’s and a few drinks later we were golden.

    Great food and a pretty environment. Paigey (we did not get the spelling of her name) attended to our table and she was absolutely lovely, her recommendations for food were also spot on! For starters, the roasted Brussels sprouts were really fragrant, and the burata with bread was a big hit with our table. For the pizza, the clear favorite was the Killer Bee, where chili oil elevated a humble pizza to a new level. Thank you to B Side and Paigey for having us!

    Excellence is displayed at every aspect of this establishment. From the food quality to the service, it’s just makes you feel welcomed. Been here several times and nothing has changed. Always a good spot to chow down especially after cycling 85 miles around the city. 💪💪

    I would highly rate this place with 5 stars due to its exceptional cuisine and excellent service. 👌 However, our experience was slightly marred when we unexpectedly discovered a small hair in our food 😱. While I acknowledge that such incidents can occur, it is regrettable because it prevented me from giving this establishment a flawless 5-star review. Despite this isolated incident, the overall quality of the food and service merits high praise.

  • 5/5 Cherish T. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place so far. Very clean, warm and cozy spot. More than a handful of red wines, white wines and beers. All their pizza are wood-fired pizzas with many combinations that you don’t see at regular pizza spots.plenary of seating. I am looking forward to my pizza. I got the Killer Bee pizza and it was a 4.2/5. Great crispy soppressetta, great olive oil, I just wish there was more honey to add that sweetness. I also got the Tiramisu which was a solid 4/5. They made both distinctly different than most restaurants. Overall awesome experience

    B-Side is our go to place in Manhattan! The pizza is fantastic! There are a lot of options and good combinations. The food comes out quickly and the restaurant has a really cool vibe. Everyone working was very friendly and service was great! We especially enjoyed chatting with Peter! Great place. We discovered on our first trip to NYC and ate there 3/4 of our days on this trip!

    Great service, great atmosphere, and fantastic selection of wood-fired pizzas. I particularly loved the margherita and spicoli pizzas. The kale salad was also one of the best I've ever had (and I eat a lot of salad!) I'll 100% return when I'm back in Manhattan.

    This pizza is made well and right. I trust B Side to beautifully uphold my pizza dreams and I can’t wait to try all the pizzas on the menu. Baked in a proper pizza oven with care. The tacos were also very delicious! Full trust in B Side Pizza & Wine Bar. Great aesthetic inside as well!

    Loved the pizza it was thin and tasty. Covid safe and spread out. You order on your phone and can close your tab on it too. The black kale salad is really good and can be split for two. The red house wine was good too! I would definitely go back here.

    We went in for some pizza approximately an hour before closing time. Although there were only two other people there at the time we were not allowed to sit at a 4 top. Fair enough, however the two women next to us were sitting at a 4 top and before we left they had cleared all the menus from all other tables so it wouldn’t have mattered. We ordered two pizzas, one carbonara and one shrimp scampi, the carbonara was good but I didn’t really like the shrimp pizza, the shrimp had a defrosted wateriness. We also ordered the “roasted” broccolini, let me tell you this is not actually roasted. This is steamed or sautéed because it is very wet and limp and it is tossed together with some capers, olives and red onions. It was fine, but not that great. I will not personally be going back, my guest had wine but I had water but it was only filled once, remaining empty for the rest of the meal. The staff were very friendly though, even Jack, who did not let us sit at the four top, did end up being a polite server.

    One I the best sourdough pizza’s I’ve eaten. I had the ‘Killer Bee’ and the sweet honey together with the spicy meat was perfect. Will definitely be back again.

  • 5/5 Mandy T. 5 months ago on Google
    Service is extremely friendly and attentive. Food is even better Killer bee pizza-best-did not know pepperonis could taste this good. Shaved brussel sprouts salad will rival the pizza-every bite was delicious. Grateful for the stop at b side.

    Food is super important, but so is a restaurant's service, and this restaurant knocked it out of the park tonight. I hadn't seen a friend for 25 years so the waitress made our reunion special by taking our picture, making sure our glasses were always filled and just making us feel so welcome. Number one restaurant in New York for service. Definitely coming back.

    Beat the dinner rush on a Saturday in December by getting here a tad before 5pm. A lot of seats available when we arrived (party of 2). But it filled up very quickly and by the time we left around 6pm, there were several people waiting. We sat inside but the outdoor covered heated area seemed cozy as well. Don't think the wait was too long as people didn't seem to stay a crazy long time. Food was very delicious and service was quick, professional, friendly. Got the fusilli alla vodka, cauliflower cacio e pepe, and the meat packer pizza and all were great.

    Originally wanted to go to "Ellen's Stardust Diner" but we saw the queue & decided to come back to "B Side Pizza"...it was delicious! We've both been up 20+ Hours since travelling from the UK so we are feeling the jet lag currently but this place was excellent for location & for food, thoroughly recommend 🍕. Staff were always on the ball & didn't miss a trick, could not fault them, excellent restaurant 👌🏻.

  • 5/5 Brian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Just left this amazing restaurant! So apparently I’ve waited 47 years to find the best pizza in Hell’s Kitchen, NY! Holy cow - not even kidding. Words can’t describe how awesome the meat packer pizza was. Staff was so kind, accommodating, and friendly. Felt like I was sitting in a friend’s kitchen. Awesome job to Maren and Keegan for making a hard job look effortless. Thank you! We WILL return :)

  • 5/5 Pam G. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot RAVE MORE about my experience at B Side! The pies were amazing - they had me at roasted pineapple, prosciutto and burrito and the Don Ho didn't disappoint. Great vibe, fantastic cocktails (highly recommend the Paper Plane) and awesome craft beer offerings. Sat at the bar solo as I was travelling for work and Caroline was phenomenal (give this girl a RAISE!) and not only did she take great care of me, but she did a wicked job of making sure everyone waking through the door was also acknowledged. She knows how to take care of guests on a whole other level. Peter and the other staff were super friendly and made my visit one to remember. Will definitely be back again on my next trip!

    Beautiful pizzas and friendly staff. Good beers on tap. Nice place to stop by if you are in the neighborhood, but not a destination kind if restaurant.

  • 5/5 Anne Marie A. 1 year ago on Google
    To date this is my favorite pizza I've ever had. Fresh, hot, flavorful. If you only try one pizza from here, please let it be the Killer Bee (top). Salty, savory, sweet. It is to die for!! We also got the Carbonara (bottom), which was tasty as well. A little heavier but still good. Deff worth a try!!

  • 5/5 Stephanie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Where do I start… from the atmosphere, cleanliness, servers & off course, the drink & food! We arrived about 20 min pre-opening & the owner welcomed us to sit & enjoy a bevy. Staff was unbelievably attentive. The owner visited with us & shared she & her hubby own other restaurants- which we will definitely visit. Now onto the the food & drink. On tap the Other Half was spectacular - amazing blend of citrus. The pizza - the Meat Packer & Spicoli. True use of the finest ingredients married together. PIZZA LOVE!

    Absolutely unique and delicious pizzas Their wines are really good too. The service is friendly and on point. It’s definitely a very popular spot as there’s always a wait, which is a good sign. Highly recommend this spot

    Awesome neighborhood Pizza place. Great outdoor seating with a nice vibe.

  • 5/5 Mark B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best pizzas I've ever had. I've ate a lot of pizza in my life, at a lot of places around the world, so make of that what you will. Recommend - the carbonara and the meat packer.

  • 4/5 Carmona C. 2 years ago on Google

    Had a chicken nachos and two pizzas. Really like their pizza crust. The nachos was awesome as well.

    I wanted to share this review due to an issue we encountered. I do love brick oven pizza and how i found this place. Upon entering, we were promptly seated, and our server was delightful. We ordered an arugula salad and pizza, but the problem arose when we discovered two black things in the salad. Politely, we informed our waiter, and waiter also informed the another person, possibly the manager, then this person said she wanted to check with the kitchen. They claimed it was part of the pear and brought the salad back to our table. I couldn't eat the salad and, no sorry or no asking to change it although I paid for it. I left one of the flea nettle eggs on the plate where it was located exactly and I took one of them to examine at home, sure thing it was exactly the flea beetle egg and tiny tiny baby was inside, it’s gross! Well no surprisingly, it turned out to be "flea beetle eggs." Despite not expecting complimentary items, it was unsettling. I recommend exercising caution when dining there. I typically don't complain, but finding bugs in my salad is something I cannot overlook and I am not going to eat! So, again it’s shame how they handle the problem and it’s a big NO!!!
