| To satisfy "pizza cravings" "as the Romans do" check out this new LES Italian, where "awesome" pies sold "by the slice or foot" showcase "light", "crunchy crusts" and "flavorful" "gourmet" toppings; its "casual", but the "rustic" feel and "quality wines" make it a success. |

| Pizza is a minimalist "art form" at this elemental East Village joint whose "limited", no-slices menu has but "four options", each priced at $16.95 (their hours depend on when they "run out of fresh dough"); realists remind "its pizza, guys", but even they admit these pies are amazingly good. |

| Pizza with "personality" is the trademark of this "neat little" Gramercy "asset", where the "cracker-thin" crust and "fresh", "creative toppings" are a "wonderful" "switch from the norm"; now that its a hit, "too-crowded" conditions suggest "they need to expand." |

| "Nonpareil" "crisp pizza" makes this mini-chain "hard to beat" as a "crowd-pleaser", even with "basic" decor and "patchy" service; cognoscenti point out that the separately owned "old-world" original in East Harlem is "the best one" – "too bad its cash only." |
