Frequently asked questions
Is the Prince Street line worth it for one slice?
At off-peak hours yes. If the line wraps the block, Scarr's is a short walk away and arguably better balanced.
What do I order besides the Spicy Spring?
Nothing on the first visit. The Spicy Spring is the reason the shop is famous. The plain square is the second-visit order.
What do I do if the Prince Street line wraps the block?
Walk to Scarr's on the Lower East Side, about fifteen minutes east, where the slice is more balanced and the wait at off hours is shorter.
