Koronet Pizza New York – Home of The Giant Jumbo Pizza Slices
2848 Broadway @ W110th Street
212-222-1566
Went out to Koronet Pizza the other day – haven’t been back for sometime. Koronet Pizza is located at 110th street and Broadway just conveniently 6 blocks south of Columbia University (also a few blocks south of Caffee Swish). Koronet is really the King of pizzas and they’re famous for their jumbo giant pizza slices. For $2.75 you basically get the equivalent 
of 2 pizza slices as compared to delis throughout the city. I used to bike up here and get a slice just for lunch. Here’s a photo I took of one cheese slice – you can use my ipod to gauge this cheese slice’s size. I actually heard a rumor that Koronet Pizza had to special order pans for these giant pizza pies. The actual taste? Well I suppose you get what you pay for – the sauce on the pizza is runny and the crust of the pizza dough is a little chewy but overall it’s not a bad slice for the money. Hey, I lived off of Blondie’s and Fat Slice out in Berkeley so I know about college students and pizza. But I have to say this is nothing like my favorite pizza places such as Patsy’s or Two Boots, or Joe’s down in the village.

its 2.75 now and has been since ‘02
In ‘85 the slice was the same size and only cost 85 cents. I’m livin’ in the past.
Had both Koronet’s and Joe’s this weekend and Koronet’s was much better.
Gotta love giant pizza. No, it’s not the best out there – my favorites are Big Nick’s and Two Boots – but it’s definitely not the worst pizza I’ve had. If you’ve seen the pan when they take it out, it looks to be the size of a Hula Hoop!
Recently went for the first time after a night out on the town, slices are now $3.50 a pop! I actually ordered two of them not knowing the size! still recovering from that night………
