Where to go if this does not fit the night
If the group needs a fuller sit-down meal, try 886 or San Marzano. If speed and value matter more than pizza specifically, Mamoun's Falafel is the cleaner backup.
Restaurant context
How it compares in the East Village casual set
Choose Cello's Pizza when the meal should be quick, pizza-focused, and low-friction. B&H Dairy is the better fit for a more old-school sit-down meal, while Mamoun's Falafel competes more directly on speed and value for a casual bite.
For a fuller night out, 886 and San Marzano make more sense than a slice stop because the format supports a longer table. Paradise Lost is the pick when drinks and atmosphere matter more than food focus.
Booking difficulty favors Cello's Pizza for ease. If the decision is between casual East Village options, pick it for a fast pizza-specific stop, B&H Dairy for a sit-down classic, Mamoun's Falafel for the quickest non-pizza value play, and 886 when the group wants a more complete meal.

Comparison snapshot
Against B&H Dairy, Cello's Pizza is the sharper choice for a shorter, slice-led stop; B&H Dairy is better when the group wants to sit and slow down. Against Mamoun's Falafel, the decision is mostly craving-driven: pizza here, falafel there, both better suited to casual eating than formal planning.
886 and San Marzano are stronger choices for a more complete restaurant meal. Paradise Lost belongs on the list when ambiance and drinks are the main event.
