Frequently asked questions
What should I order at NY Pizza Suprema?
The upside-down slice and a plain. The two together cost less than most Penn Station meals and beat all of them.
Is it open late after events at the Garden?
It runs until around midnight most nights, which covers most post-game crowds. Expect a rush right after final buzzers.
Is it a good stop before a game at Madison Square Garden?
Yes. It sits directly across from the arena and runs late enough for most post game crowds, with a fast counter line instead of arena concession prices.
