I always seem to end up at Famous Amadeus at 50th and 8th. I am addicted to their bacon and pepperoni pizza and love their garlic knots. There is also a dollar pizza place right near the Chrysler Building that I like.
It depends on what kind of pizza I'm in the mood for. Joe's Pizza in the village has a very good slice, as well as Bleecker Street. If I want to sit and split a pie with friends, I like Patsy's - I've only been to the Union Square location, but I hear the East Harlem is the original.
I'm not a local, so take my limited experience of the scope of NYC pizza with a grain of salt, but I have great fidelity to Bleecker Street Pizza. It's always completely satisfying and what, in my mind, pizza "is." To me, it's just a perfect slice. Patzeria on 46th is also quite good.

$1 slices. There's a dollar slice shop on every other corner.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

ETA: Patsy's in East Harlem has three storefronts. One is a bar type area, the other the main restaurant (whole pies only and a full menu of Italian dishes), and the third has an oven and offers slices. The slices are GREAT.

Those $1 pseudo-pizza slices are truly gross....

The kid didnt ask for quality. And it's not sure really that bad. When money is a concern.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Yeah, I've grabbed plenty of $1 slices on the run / on a budget, and I've never once come anywhere near being grossed out. They're simple and sloppy, but it's still bread, sauce, and cheese that will fill up your belly for two or three bucks.

the $1 pizza places i agree are gross. The sauce is like the worst Ragu, Bargain Basement crap and the cheese is rubbery. At least the few times I have had them. Aside from that NY Pizza is like s#x. even bad is still good!
I disagree that $1 places are gross. I love $.99 pizza that is of course right next to Planet Fitness on 27th! They have delicious pizza.
John (now on 14th and in the west village too) is a great classic slice.
Vezzo in Kips Bay is pretty good thin crust.
My favorite I've ever had for fancy pizza would have to be Lucali's. It's a trek out, there will be a wait and they are cash only, but it is SO WORTH IT. To die for pizza. https://www.yelp.com/biz/lucali-brooklyn-3
