When you’re down to your last buck, or you’re in a hangry and in a sloshed state, perhaps the only grub within your immediate reach is the dollar slice. With late night hours at 24-hour restaurants and servings with a crusty base and a decent mix of sauce and cheese, plus some potential counter space, there are a number of cheap pizza spots still baking buck-priced pies. Here are New York pizza joints throughout the city where you can get cheap eats for $1.
