Straight From New York Pizza Hawthorne

The crust is thin and sightly crunchy. Toppings are good and plenty. Good NY slice.

It's been 18 months of pandemic time since I've gone anywhere for a slice. When I was finally feeling confident-ish enough to look for a place for a weekday lunchtime visit, the searches I did for my old standbys showed that most of them are doing whole pie take-out or delivery only, and they generally don't open until 4 PM. SFNY indicated that they were open for lunch, and serving slices.
I was happy to see that all the employees were masked, and that the space for visitors was well marked for customers to keep an appropriate distance from each other.
As for the pizza - it was just what I hoped for. I had a cheese slice with just the right balance between sauce and cheese, as well as a pepperoni slice that was perfectly greasy, just the way it should be. Prices were reasonable, and, though I didn't opt for the '$5 slice and a beer' special, it was great to see it available.
I'm still trying to avoid indoor spaces in general, but I'm glad to see that Straight From New York is available for pizza by the slice, while keeping the experience safe for their employees and their customers.

Good straight forward NY style pizza. The slices I got had a great bake on the bottom. VERY fast service, friendly too. Solid selection of regional beers, my toddler loved it. Three slices and two premium beers for $22 with tip, not bad!

$9 for 2 slices and a drink. Not only a great price, but it tastes good. Great thin crust with a perfect crisp to it. Sauce is thick and flavorful. Cheese has a lot of taste also.

$3 a slice= awesome for the size.The flavor was spot on in my opinion. Service was fast as it was not busy. Perfect if your in a hurry.
