🍕 $8 PIZZA in NYC?! Hidden Gem You Need to Try

My boyfriend took me to his childhood favorite pizza spot in Queens and… I’m OBSESSED. Legit one of the best budget eats I’ve had in NYC.

📍Singas Famous PizzaSingas Famous Pizza

We went to the Forest Hills location — apparently the Flushing one got burned down recently (RIP🥲). It’s super lowkey, mostly locals dining in, and the prices?? CRAZY.

They often run a buy 2, get 1 free deal, so we got 3 pizzas for ~$20+ total.

⸻

🍕 What We Ordered:

➡️ Hawaiian Pizza – my forever fave, don’t judge lol. Pineapple + cheese = divine.

➡️ Plain Cheese Pizza – classic and done right.

➡️ Special Pizza – came with sausage, olives, and more — salty, savory, sooo good.

✨The crust is thin and crispy, not too greasy.

✨Seasoning is well balanced (not overly salty like some NY slices).

✨The sausage on the Special Pizza was 🔥

⸻

Honestly, I wasn’t even in the mood to eat (had just devoured stinky tofu + Chinese pancakes lol) but this was SO WORTH IT.

Perfect if you want affordable, nostalgic, no-frills pizza that still hits all the right spots 🙌

Singas Famous Pizza is a hidden gem in Queens that offers exceptional value for classic New York-style pizza lovers. Known for its thin and crispy crust, the restaurant caters to locals with straightforward, nostalgic pies that aren’t overly greasy or salty. The Forest Hills location remains popular despite a recent fire that closed their Flushing branch. Budget-conscious diners will appreciate the buy 2, get 1 free promotion, allowing customers to enjoy multiple flavors for about $20 total, an incredible price point for NYC pizza. The Hawaiian pizza combines sweet pineapple with savory cheese, offering a memorable taste that many find irresistible. The Plain Cheese pizza provides the quintessential slice experience, perfectly seasoned and balanced. The Special pizza stands out with toppings like sausage and olives, delivering a savory and satisfying bite with each slice. Singas Famous Pizza’s appeal lies not only in its affordability but also in its authentic, no-frills atmosphere and focus on quality flavors that resonate with both longtime residents and visitors seeking genuine local eats. This spot is ideal for anyone craving classic NYC pizza without breaking the bank, making it a perfect stop for food lovers exploring Queens or searching for wallet-friendly dining in New York City. Furthermore, Singas’ dedication to traditional pizza-making and community roots contributes to its status as a trusted establishment. Customers looking for quick, tasty, and affordable pizza will find Singas meets high expectations for taste and value, making it a must-try for those seeking the best cheap eats in NYC.
