Accept this place for what it is (a greasy hole-in-the-wall), and you're fine. I've been in several times over the years, but only ever on my way to or from a neighboring bar. Grab a pepperoni and sausage slice and a bottle of water, and you'll never have another hangover again. It's a little pricey, but the pizza is good and it's in prime real estate, so it's not too bad.
I can't speak for the rest of the food, but if you have good white pizza, I'll be a return customer.
See you again sometime, Karavas…
Stopped at this place before heading to Fat Cat (across the street). It was…okay… Not very aesthetically-pleasing; desperately needs some updates and the condiment toppings (oregano, garlic salt, crushed red pepper flakes) were literally chained from the ceiling so you couldn't steal them. Odd. But I digress.
I ordered a plain slice which wasn't that bad. My friend had a buffalo chicken slice and a Hawaiian slice which seemed to be okay, except on his first bite of the buffalo chicken slice he bit on a huge bone in the piece of chicken. That's a first. Be careful. Too many better pizza places in the city to stop here again.
Subpar pizza. Most of the clientele here are people who are drunkenly walking out of fat cat. Granted i was one of them i just overall did not like the pizza. Pretty tasteless.
You can find so many good places to eat in the city i wouldnt waste my time here.
Pizza was ok, not the greatest NYC pizza but it filled up our Stomachs after bar hopping m. Service was fast at midnight
After a long day of hanging around Manhattan with some friends of mine, we wanted a quick bite to eat. So we figured why not get some of the wonderful $1 slices of pizza that NY is famous for. Literally pizza places on every corner but we randomly ended up here. (I should've checked my yelp first for a good pizza spot but I was so wrapped up and amazed at all Manhattan had to offer it slipped my mind until after the fact. Haha)
I got a slice of pizza with grilled chicken and broccoli because you don't see that every day. I also got a Perrier to drink, because that's also not offered at a lot of resturants (at least not the ones I've been to). But the pizza was just okay, the service was just okay, and the ambience of the resturant was just okay. Nothing really "wowed" me or stood out as memorable about this place. I've also definately had better pizza right here in Hampton Roads. All in all I believe that 3 stars is suitable for this place. I'm not saying to not go to this place to enjoy some food, but I'm also not saying that you should rush to give this place a try.
Let me tell you, Karavas Pizza 'n' Pita is a godsend after a night on the town. The only way to make it here is by stumbling towards the subway station before seeing "Pizza and Pita" in bold white letters.
Hungry from our adventures around West Village, my friends and I dropped in to Karavas for some grub. We split some onion rings and mozzarella sticks while my friend opted for a gyro. The place is somewhat of an American diner crossed with a gyro place. Whoever came up with that combination is a genius.
The prices are very affordable, with a $7 gyro, and appetizers (onion rings, fries, etc.) between $3 and $8. Pizzas too are affordable $2 a slice plus more for toppings. The tables are stark and simple. The wait time is no time at all. There are no frills about this place, and that's how I like it.
