$100 for your 8 different slices, that is a hard NO for me.

[@clowchan]

$20 dollar for a slice of pizza when you're using 3 or 4 dollars at most in ingredients per slice is 😬 i would understand $8 -10 for the specialty slices and to cover overhead but jeez. Was totally interested till i heard the prices. 😭

[@yslbdslime4127]

Nah fr I rather go to joes

[@FreeePalestine1948]

Gentrified prices 😂

Loved this one, watched it 3x

[@BigPatrys15]

Holy smoke no joke, I'm gonna try this pizza place when I'm back to NYC! Wow. I already know I'll love it! P.S. After a lot of help and amazing info and tips I got from watching your stuff with my past NYC trips, now, theres my good buddy in NYC at this very moment visiting for the first time, as well as my dear cousin. Both literally messaged me this week saying that your vids helped them A TON while being there! Same stuff I looked for, you know, navigating, subway, food, EVERYTHING. Thank you Jon, sincere thank you! From few folk from Poland! :D

[@axebul.2366]

To be honest, not a single slice sounds or looks good xD. But yeah, maybe it's just the first impression. But the price for 1 slice is ridiculous :D

[@jonc3903]

As a white man of Italian decent who grew up on Long Island, I look at pizza as more of a NY thing. Could not care less if it's a black family making pizza. I hope they crush it. NY pizza is da best period.

That would be the normal reaction of most people, except those who are obsessed with race...their own, in this case.

Hi Jon, Thank you for this video about Cuts & Slices. What a wonderful idea for a pizza 🍕 shop! I never would have thought of this but I admire the ingenuity! I always enjoy your content Jon. Have a great weekend, Peter

John is the best. He really gets it. Like the levels for his peeps. I’ll be checking out the one in St. Albans.

Jon when I'm in NYC next month I'm going to have a difficult time deciding where to go for pizza !

I would not hesitate to get the sample pizza in the video. Especially the $20 slice. I'd try all of them. Another great video

[@SparkinHeart]

Great video bro, love the personal details about the history and the pizza looks amazing.

Looks good. But $100 is still crazy for a pizza. Then again there’s an $80 fish sandwich in LA. Big cities can charge a lot

Sorry John but $18 slices of pizza are just insanity. That's crazy even for NYC standards, and I personally don't know any New Yorkers that would willingly spend even half of that on a slice of pizza.

Well finally you're in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. And my favorite pizza spot. Cutz and Slices. Yes!! On Saturday's there's a line that wraps around the corner. It's the best when you're feeling adventurous. And they do pretty good traditional pizza too 😋🤤

I saw the thumbnail and instantly knew what i was in for. Jon finally makes the trip to Cuts & Slices.

[@MickAngelhere]

One hundred dollars for pizza, that’s gotta be a good pizza, but good on them for doing something different with pizza. It’s something that would be those who like to have a novel experience. The slices look like a meal in themselves, that’s what it is about, an experience and if the pizza is good then it’s worth it

[@michaelchin3550]

My mouth was watering looking at those scrumptious slices!

[@jpadarath27]

Those prices, they'll be out of business before you know it...

[@tunisiarawles9507]

I'm sorry but, this pizza 🍕 spot has been open since 2010 and the opened up a second location in Queens recently. People from all over the world comes or as we like to say, "pull up" to try their pizza. They do traditional pizza as well for the not so adventurous prices or taste buds.😉

Not at all… Most people aren’t buying $100 pie like these guys did. The average customer is buying a slice or 2. Also tourists don’t mind spending that type of money at all…

[@LA-fw1tp]

As a New Yorker it’s too busy and expensive for a single slice of pizza. To much going on for this Arthur Avenue Bronx girl.✌🏽

[@RoboKyPR]

1 hundo for two pizzas, nah, im good, so good.

[@yslbdslime4127]

$18 for a specialty pizza slice is absurd, I understand what they bring to the table as far as a pizza shop but thats legit the prices of a whole pizza

[@GregStinson]

I mean the people in the comments saying the prices are a disgrace, these $20 slices are full of expensive ingredients, unless you're in the food game and know exactly the costs, don't see how you can comment...

[@AusHowie]

Of course they have to bring “colour” into it… if your pizza slaps I’m eating it no matter the colour.. tf

[@kevinnorris6558]

Yeah, I agree. The closest pizzeria to me is run by some Mexicans and their buffalo chicken pizza is easily some of the best pizza I've ever eaten. I think some people overestimate the impact of trivial things like skin color; most people here in NYC don't care who makes the pizza as long as the place is clean, the pizza is good and the prices are reasonable. Make good food on a consistent basis and the repeat customers will follow.

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Yea! Prices for the Park Avenue Crowd but nothing for the kids in the 'hood😅 How sad😢

[@another_bites_the_crust_pizza]

Ridiculous prices. Pizza shoild be affordable for everyone. ❤

As a native New Yorker, I have never heard of this place. My wife has never mentioned it. Family members never mentioned it. Friends never mentioned it. Coworkers never mentioned it. Teammates never mentioned it. Nobody in media mentioned it. “OBSESSED”? Bit of a clickbait stretch.

[@jasond82]

$100 a pie, nope

[@vedantsingh_]

Cool I guess but imo this is just classic overhyped and overpriced social media stuff. Most of the gourmet doesn’t even taste good usually. A pizza is meant to be simple not loaded with gourmet ingredients that have a very heavy taste. Also super overpriced, even by NYC standards. Still, wishing them all the best. If it works for them, I guess it works.

On your past videos you mentioned cheap eats. Please ban the words cheap eats on your video. Reason I say that because if your video gets popular tons of people will be going there and the owner constantly raises their prices. Used to be cheap but now it is market prices. So you and KZbin creators killed the affordable foods. So please call it affordable eats not cheap eats anymore. Nothing is freaking cheap at all
