//The line

Roy's became internet-famous in recent years and, per The Infatuation's Upper East Side guide, that virality now means "you'll need to schedule ahead" rather than just walk up and order.

The Infatuation reports the shop recommends calling early in the morning to reserve pickup for that evening; there's no dine-in seating, so demand shows up as phone/order backlog rather than a sidewalk line.

//When the line peaks
Morning phone-in window for same-day pickup, per The Infatuation
