damnlines.comdamnlines.comA Bed-Stuy pizzeria that went viral for its oxtail pizza and drew three-hour lines in 2018, per ABC7 NY, and is still described as having lines that snake outside, per The Infatuation.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Cuts & Slices yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
The Infatuation's Bed-Stuy guide reports that at Cuts & Slices, "long lines snake outside the door," pointing to the pizzeria's unconventional pies — toppings "inspired by chicken and waffles, black truffle alfredo shrimp, and lasagna" — plus its now-famous oxtail pies as the draw.
Those lines have a documented origin: ABC7 NY reports that after Cuts & Slices opened in Bed-Stuy in February 2018 under owners Randy and Ashlee McLaren, its oxtail pizza went viral and "some people waited three hours to try it." ABC7 reports demand has since eased considerably — Randy McLaren now tells the outlet the wait is "at most... a five-minute wait" on a typical visit, and that the shop no longer sells out the way it did during the original viral rush, helped by expanding beyond the single 8-pie oven they started with.
On how to actually get in: Fox5 NY reports the shop doesn't deliver and that a sign outside instructs customers to "Pull up beloved," meaning walking up and ordering at the counter is the standard route. The restaurant's official site lists in-person hours and online ordering through Uber Eats, but makes no mention of a reservation system.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Reservations: No reservation platform found; the official site lists in-person ordering and Uber Eats online ordering, with no mention of reservations.

Per the official site (Brooklyn location): Mon/Tue/Thu 11am-8pm, Fri-Sat 11am-10pm, Sun 11am-7pm, closed Wednesdays.
Reported wait times have swung widely. ABC7 NY reports that during the 2018 viral moment for its oxtail pizza, "some people waited three hours to try it," but co-owner Randy McLaren now tells ABC7 that a typical wait is "at most... a five-minute wait." The Infatuation's Bed-Stuy guide, more recently, still describes "long lines" that "snake outside the door," so waits can still build during busy periods.
No reservation platform is referenced by any source. The restaurant's official site lists only in-person hours and online ordering via Uber Eats, while Fox5 NY separately reported the shop doesn't offer delivery and directs customers to order at the counter.
Yes — walking up is the standard way in. Fox5 NY reports a sign outside reads "Pull up beloved," and both Fox5 NY and The Infatuation describe customers queuing outside rather than being seated or called ahead.
According to the owners, yes. ABC7 NY reports co-owner Randy McLaren now describes the wait as "at most... a five-minute wait," down from the three-hour lines reported during the pizzeria's 2018 viral oxtail-pizza moment, partly because the shop expanded beyond its original single 8-pie oven.
