New York's Most Exciting Pizza: Cuts & Slices | NYT Cooking

[@samanthagarner2926]

Loved how the owners and staff got to tell their own story in their own voices. This pizza looks amazing! All the success to you Cuts and Slices!

[@juanshaftpatel7488]

blks need to stop stealing italian culture

[@nutritionalyeast704]

Kinda weird that white people only use this kind of language when talking about non-whites. You will never hear a white person applauding another white person for telling "their own story with their own voice."

Naw pizza looks like trash

[@cliffordwdagreen6916]

I had it it’s the best pizza I had in my life .I brought 2 slices for $26 the 1st time today I’m buying a whole box so my family can enjoy it. I drove 5.5hours away it’s so worth it

[@renosance8941]

It's insane how he applied the business model of hustling sneakers, into selling pizzas. That's incredible. And shout out the wife for giving wise advice and strong support. That's love. Amazing story. 💪🏽❤️

[@Alliekatsdad]

DETERMINATION NOT TO FAIL. This couple stayed the course, love to see it! RESPECT

[@carsondees7175]

First black couple I ever seen ! U think he’s a father to his kids 😂

[@vivekpujaravp]

Brilliant idea. Drop pizza like sneakers. Hook people up, throw parties, live it up, make everyone family. Respect.

[@hashish2020]

It's artificial scarcity, a capitalist scam.

[@acetorres8787]

🤮

[@iamashleyyvette]

I live in Los Angeles and every time I go to New York I try to make it to Cuts and Slices. It’s amazing.

[@kristenmerritt4786]

I used to live in this neighborhood and went to cuts and slices when it was still the small shop. The staff was always such a vibe and the pizza was mad delicious - that oxtail *chefs kiss*

[@jabroni359]

I hope this place expands and does well. These pizza chains haven’t had any innovation in their product in decades. It’s time for some new ideals to come in and make waves. It great to see a new spin on pizza.

[@hashish2020]

Pizza chains suck, eat neighborhood pies.

[@goabparty9574]

It’s cultural appropriation. They are pretty out of touch and should do better as humans.

[@acetorres8787]

🤮🤮

[@rzadigi]

Pizza chains do suck but I’m a purist and don’t want shrimp waffles or alfredo on my pizza. To each his own but just cause something is different doesn’t make it good.

Bless up from Trinidad! Seeing that oxtail looking like a mad ting! Love!

[@DanNguyen-ey5tw]

This is what I love about them. The interaction they have with their customers and the care they give is immense. Gotta make my way out here!

[@hashish2020]

It's not care to artificially limit supply to scam 100 dollar pie prices...

[@Revlo-64]

Loved learning about this business. What an inspiring story. Also, props to the video editor who did such a great job telling the story.

[@rodericwalter2862]

Yes - as they say: If you do not notice it, then it is done well. I know film people really enjoyed the photography and editing.

[@KammyWalks]

The way I whipped my head up when I heard "Trinidad"!!! 🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@pinkispretty2127]

I love their dynamic. Such a cute couple. Wishing them continued success. Such a dope story.

[@true8399]

This brings tears to my eyes seeing my ppl grow and prosper from our own creations.. we are the true innovators of this world 💪🏽💪🏽

[@Slashed888]

Kudos to these two and showing the power of a strong family!

[@JayDavante]

I love Cuts and Slices! I have no issues with the business. I truly appreciate when the CEO actually is behind the counter putting work that's much respect! Nothing but love and respect for a Black Man actually making something positive for himself and the community! 💯

[@nazmulahmed5853]

Damn I was smiling the entire video! These owners seem like just good down to earth souls. Love it! Def gonna try it out when I’m back in NYC.

[@Chrissy4298]

💯

[@SimpleNClassy1]

This is really amazing! My family and I grew up in bed stuy. My parents still there. My younger brother was visiting and I told him about Cuts n Slices. I’ve never been but knew I wanted to visit from NJ during the holidays. I didn’t get to but he did from Indiana & the customer he was on line with and the owner was so kind and generous! That alone I’ll tell every one to support! When customer service is on point and you can create an atmosphere where everyone is kind is PRICELESS! Congratulations on the borough expansion. I’m 100% positive it will be even more successful when you all maintain the high standards for quality and kindness 🙏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾

[@niajekevo]

Wifey is the MVP, backbone, and brain... match all that with his humility and talent... it's a comprehensive win, this! I love it. 🖤🙌🏿🖤

[@talon3684]

Love it. Congratulations. Next time I get back home to Brooklyn, I gotta come through to get on that curry oxtail. Keep shining bright like y'all do

[@infini.tesimo]

These kinds of pizza places are my absolute favorite. Small operation, very gritty, creative, reasonably priced, and super tasty. I've had pizza in Italy itself for over a year and I will always choose pizza from America because here, it's a melting pot of different flavors they exemplify that with what they offer. With that being said, my personal favorite is the opposite of multiple toppings. I love basic Margherita pizza crafted to perfection. If you can do this right for me you earned a customer for life lol.

[@lambypigs]

Really really love this , I been going here and seen this place grow from a hole in the wall ... congrats on everything and much more success 🙌🏾

[@gainztrain9890]

Dope segment.. I didn't expect this from NewYorkTimes to advertise n uplift black owned business with a 🔥segment .. Well done NYT, much international success to these folks n their business

[@c.dawkinsyoung9301]

When you can market for free, that's awesome. I love it when the food speaks for itself.

[@1queensgrl]

Last week we went for the first time and finally braved that line! We had fun on the line and we were even more pleased when we got into that first bite!!! Then I realized that the Queens location is walking distance from me!!! It’s on!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@EzeICE]

OMG the Queens location is gonna be bananas! There's a ton of pizza spots in BK (whether low key, specialty, or high end) there's not really a lot of pizza spots in Queens. Well if you don't count LIC, Flushing and Astoria. We need one in the HOOD! 😆 And with Cuts & Slices it's gonna be epic.

[@AlexAlex-gj4jd]

Wow! Such an inspiration to all of us in so many ways!

Eww oxtail lol but the other pizzas looked 😭🔥👌

[@NYCfrankie]

Native New Yorker from Bensonhurst Brooklyn born and raised 🇮🇹💯% ive been twice i love how they've expanded pizza with different unique ideas i still prefer traditional nyc pies and Sicilian slices from di fara luigis or L and B but when you want something different their the place to go

[@philipchang4453]

I from New York, I'm in DC.. I've got to make it out to BK. To try it

[@giovannanicolas8299]

[@bash45]

This is smart!! I rock with the innovation and persistence the owners implemented to ensure their business thrives!!! Inspirational to see!!

[@Susan-cooks]

I wish you continued success with growing your business. Your menu choices are unique and I want to try everything! I'm hoping you eventually make it further east to Suffolk.

[@swisski]

I love how each slice becomes a delight, something ephemeral, a treat. This is real food, and although they are different to your classic Italian toppings, in the same way they represent a culture, a terroir, a celebration of products at their moment to shine. I love this clip, and sincerely hope to one day be able to pull up, Beloved!
