Inside UNCLE PAUL'S PIZZA New York City
*🎥 Camera I use for filming – amzn.to/4rPWmtD
Inside UNCLE PAUL’S PIZZA in Midtown Manhattan 🇺🇸🍕 Today we head into Uncle Paul’s Pizza, a hidden NYC slice shop tucked under scaffolding just a block away from Grand Central Terminal on Vanderbilt Avenue and 45th Street. This is classic Midtown commuter territory, and I wanted to find out if this spot actually delivers on the NYC cheese slice reputation or if it’s just another quick grab-and-go stop for busy New Yorkers.
In this episode, I order the iconic individual cheese slice, reveal the cost, and take you inside the shop where I learn from the guy behind the counter that they’ve been serving the neighborhood for about 15 years. From there, we bring the slice out into the streets of Manhattan for the full experience. I break everything down using my NYC Slice Scorecard, judging it on temperature, walkability (how it holds up while eating and moving through the city), overall taste, and value.
Along the way, there’s a moment where I keep accidentally calling it “Uncle Rico’s Pizza” (Napoleon Dynamite fans will get it), plus I share a simple NYC tip - always pay cash when you can to avoid extra fees and keep things moving. We also get into some NYC pet peeves, including people feeding pigeons in the city, and how that plays out in real life on the streets.
At the end, I total up the scores, give my final verdict, and let you know whether I recommend stopping at Uncle Paul’s Pizza if you’re near Grand Central. I’m Matt, and this is Ambient New York. Let me know what you want me to review next in NYC.
