New York’s newest celebrity, “Pizza Rat,” re-emerges at the end of the video and takes two more bites of pizza, The Post has learned.

“He came back up and bit into it. Then he took another bite,” Matt Little, the New Yorker responsible for shooting the now-viral video, told The Post in an exclusive interview.

Little said the tiny critter then scuttled away behind a storage unit on the platform of the First Avenue stop on the L line late Sunday.

The aspiring comedian, 35, said he and a friend waited a couple minutes, but the rat never reappeared.

“This is such an encapsulation of being a New Yorker — trying to carry too much too far, while dealing with thousands of other people all at the same time doing the same thing.”

“My friends have taken to saying, ‘Je suis Pizza Rat.’ I think that’s kind of poetic.”
