"Ultimately, the success of June's is a testament to the power of doing one thing really, really well. The lack of bells and whistles also helps keep the after-hours menu relatively affordable. Slices are $5 ($6 for pepperoni), and they're big. Most diners won't wind up eating more than two or three in one sitting."
June’s functions as a destination restaurant for visitors while late-night hours create a locals’ hangout atmosphere. The setting feels like a convivial house party with music or album listening events. The crowd is racially diverse and includes many artistic twenty- and thirtysomething diners. Slices are folded New York-style and dipped in housemade sauces, including roasted garlic and a limited edition wakame Caesar with strong anchovy umami. The margherita flavor is so compelling that repeating it week after week feels natural. Pepperoni slices are sometimes unavailable, but when sold they are richer, more intensely flavored, and provide a spicy kick. Success comes from doing one thing exceptionally well and keeping the after-hours menu affordable, with large slices priced at $5 or $6 for pepperoni.
