Seamless introduces its iconic $1 Cheese Pizza Slice in New York City for a limited time. The special promotion is running from April 22 to May 20, 2025. This marks the return of a cherished culinary tradition that had disappeared two years prior.
The $1 Cheese Pizza Slice is available exclusively for pickup orders. Consumers may opt for up to five slices per transaction at over 40 participating pizzerias across all five boroughs, including well-known establishments like 2 Bros. Pizza, Luigi’s Pizza, and Patrizia’s Taverna. Beyond nostalgia, the initiative highlights Seamless’s commitment to affordability and local food culture, which is important especially as many individuals are struggling with rising costs.
Seamless’s broader campaign — featuring zero delivery fees and steep discounts at other iconic restaurants — enhances the value proposition.
