Manhattan, NY — Slicehaus Pizzeria at 30 Carmine Street received a Grade B health inspection score of 27 points following a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection conducted on January 15, 2026. The establishment was cited for violations and remains open to the public.

The inspection data was released by DOHMH on February 10, 2026. The 27-point score places the restaurant at the upper limit of the Grade B range, three points below the Grade C threshold.

What Inspectors Found

Health inspectors documented 21 total violations during the inspection, including 8 critical violations related to food safety and sanitation practices.

Temperature control violations were the most frequently cited issue. Inspectors recorded three separate instances where hot time/temperature control for safety (TCS) food items were not maintained at or above the required 140°F. Under NYC Health Code Article 81, potentially hazardous foods must be held at proper temperatures to prevent bacterial growth that can cause foodborne illness.

Inspectors also documented three violations involving food protection. Food, supplies, or equipment were found not properly protected from potential contamination during storage, preparation, or service. Additionally, condiments were not provided in single-service containers or dispensed directly by staff as required.

Wiping cloth storage was cited twice, with cloths not stored clean and dry or in sanitizing solution between uses as required by health regulations.

The inspection identified five separate plumbing and drainage violations, including anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention devices not provided where required, and equipment or floors not properly drained.

Seven violations were recorded for providing single-use, non-compostable plastic straws without customer request, including at self-serve stations. One violation was noted for non-food contact surfaces not kept clean or properly maintained.

Food Safety Context

NYC Health Code Article 81 establishes minimum standards for food service establishments to protect public health. Temperature control violations are considered critical because foods held in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 140°F allow rapid bacterial growth.

The FDA Food Code, which forms the basis for New York City's regulations, requires hot foods to be maintained at 135°F or above. New York City applies a more stringent 140°F standard for hot holding.

Proper wiping cloth storage prevents cross-contamination between food contact surfaces. Cloths must be stored in sanitizing solution with appropriate chemical concentration or kept clean and dry between uses.

Inspection History

This represents the first documented inspection record available for Slicehaus Pizzeria in the DOHMH database. The establishment's compliance history will be established through subsequent inspections.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City assigns letter grades based on points accumulated during inspections:

  • Grade A: 0-13 points
  • Grade B: 14-27 points
  • Grade C: 28 or more points

Critical violations carry higher point values than non-critical violations. The grading system is designed to provide transparent public health information to consumers.

Restaurants scoring in the Grade B range may request a re-inspection to attempt to achieve a Grade A score. The DOHMH conducts unannounced inspections of all food service establishments at least once per year.

Current inspection results and grades for all NYC restaurants are available through the DOHMH website and the city's online restaurant inspection database. Consumers can search by establishment name, address, or borough to view complete inspection histories and violation details.
