The dollar slice is a phenomenon in New York City of pizza sold by the slice for one U.S. dollar. The business model involves slim profit margins on a high volume of pizzas sold. The dollar slice is popular as an affordable food option in an expensive city, but critics have argued that it has resulted in the loss of mid-range pizza businesses.

The first dollar slice shop in New York was 99 Cent Fresh Pizza in 2001. Early dollar slice shops served homeless people in the city. The concept became more popular during the Great Recession. The chain 2 Bros. Pizza opened in 2008 and influenced the establishment of several dollar slice chains in the 2000s. Inflation led to many establishments raising their prices above one dollar, especially during the 2020s.
