damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Pugsley's Pizza yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Pugsley's Pizza is an old-school, cash-only slice joint near Fordham University's campus that's been open since 1984, per its own site and Tripadvisor reviewer accounts. The Fordham Ram's student orientation food guide describes it as open "till 3 a.m." on weekend nights and states plainly that "the line is out the door on a Saturday night."
The Fordham Ram frames Pugsley's as the campus's go-to late-night stop after parties and games, with the crowd stretching well past midnight; a Tripadvisor reviewer echoes that reputation, calling it the "Fordham University Late Night Place to Be."
No sign-up sheet or reservation system is reported anywhere. Pugsley's is walk-in and counter-service only, ringing a gong and honking a horn when a pie is ready, per Tripadvisor reviews, and multiple reviewers note it's cash only — so the reported "line out the door" is a first-come, first-served queue at the counter, not a hostess-stand wait.
