//The line

Prince Street Pizza is a takeout slice counter at 27 Prince St in Nolita. No seating; you order at the window. The line is almost entirely for one item: the Spicy Spring, a square Sicilian slice piled with cupped pepperoni. Time Out lists it as Fra Diavolo sauce, spicy sopressata, and fresh mozzarella. NYC Tourism calls the shop a 'workaday slice shop' surrounded by tony boutiques.

The crowd is a recent phenomenon. A regular in a Yelp Q&A thread remembers 'waiting three-ish minutes for my slice' before the shop blew up, and now describes 'a line out the door from what seems like open to close.' The Spicy Spring is a recurring TikTok subject, which is what converted a neighborhood slice window into a tourist stop. Because it is counter service, the queue is on the sidewalk and moves at slice-counter speed, not sit-down speed.

On wait length, reports vary and none of it is live. A Tripadvisor reviewer said they 'waited about 20 min to order' and added that 'lines can be longer.' The standard advice from Yelp regulars is to skip lunch and go earlier or later; visitor guides describe weekday afternoons as the calmest window and weekends as the busiest.
