Do You Know These Regional Pizza Styles?
I must also comment on the RI Pizza Strips - aka bakery pizza or party pizza. It was always served at birthday parties as a kid. It's simply pizza baked with sauce (no cheese - maybe a sprinkling of romano) and then sliced into rectangular pieces and served room temperature or cold. Heavenly. No one outside of RI has ever heard of this fantastic pizza. Such a shame. You'll find it in every Italian bakery in RI and in the grocery stores as well.
Caserta's, as someone mentioned, is another great pizza place in RI. We get ours well done. The pizza is a little on the thicker side (if you get a medium or large). The small tends to have a thinner crust. also not to be missed at Caserta's is the "wimpy skippy" (or spinach pie). Every single person that walks in to eat at Caserta's orders the wimpy skippy, in addition to their pizza. Twin's Pizza in Pawtucket is also great. Man, all this pizza talk makes me want to fly up to RI and eat!!!
The wonderful thing about growing up in New England/Northeast is that there are an abundance of pizza places and you really have the ability to get a variety of styles.
In the East Village: Two Boots vs. Lil' Frankie's
I used to like Two Boots when I was living in the city (the one in the village). Not my favorite NYC pizzeria, but it satisfies. I've been to the one in Grand Central too and I've never noticed a big difference, for what it's worth.

It's too bad you never took the trip down to Providence while you were in school in Boston. There are plenty of fantastic pizzerias there. I love Pizzeria Regina, however. Quite good.
