🍕 $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 🙌
