damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Koronet Pizza yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Koronet Pizza is a walk-up pizza-by-the-slice counter in Morningside Heights best known for its jumbo slices — described in listings as larger than your face — at the edge of the Columbia University campus. That novelty, combined with unusually late hours, is the likely draw for foot traffic and any counter queue, though our search did not turn up specific reviewer accounts of long lines or exact wait times.
Given hours that stretch to 2am on weeknights and 4am on Friday and Saturday, the most plausible busy windows are late-night stretches when nearby bars and campus nightlife let out, and possibly during typical dinner hours. Because we could not confirm specific crowd reports, treat this as general guidance rather than a measured pattern — the safest bet for a shorter wait is likely off-peak afternoon hours.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Reservations: Koronet Pizza's official site does not state a formal reservation policy for regular slice service; it only references booking ahead for larger groups and parties, per the site.
Walk-ins: The official site does not explicitly describe walk-in wait times, but as a by-the-slice pizza counter it implicitly operates on a walk-in basis outside of group bookings, per the site.
Friday & Saturday 10:00am-4:00am, Sunday-Thursday 10:00am-2:00am, per the official site.
It's a walk-up slice counter (no formal queue system found in our research), and given its late-night hours and popularity with Columbia University students, expect the counter to get busy on weekend nights — but we found no specific reported wait times, so treat any estimate as a guess rather than a confirmed figure. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
Per listings found in our search: Monday-Thursday and Sunday 10am-2am, Friday-Saturday 10am-4am.
Its jumbo, oversized pizza slices — reportedly around $6 each and described as larger than your face, versus roughly $3.75 for a regular slice.
It appears to be, given its listed hours running until 2am (Sun-Thu) or 4am (Fri-Sat), which is notably later than most NYC pizzerias — consistent with its location near Columbia University.
At 2848 Broadway in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, near the Columbia University campus.
Not for regular service - per its official site, Koronet only mentions advance booking for groups and parties, and directs guests to call (212) 222-1566 for those inquiries.
The site doesn't spell out wait times, but as a by-the-slice pizza counter with late-night hours (per its official site), walking in is the norm outside of group bookings.
