Slice and the City: A DJ Bubbles Margherita Drive-By
Kathryn, that is your own call to make - with respect to neapolitan quality, I'd put Luzzo's up against No 28 any day of the week; Arturo's sucks; UPN is damn close to the best I've had in Naples. On the other hand, W Vill has a much better street slice selection. Artichoke is too damn much for me. If you're sitting down, head east; if you're out and about and not much of a teetotaler, go west, young man!
NYCFG, you know you're my man but I'm not talking about their sloppy 3am street slice - give their margherita slice a try - that sauce will knock you on your ace although nothing else is incredibly impressive about the slice - mozz and crust leave something to be desired. but you'll walk away and say that was some san marzano goodness!
Dear Slice: Good Delivery Pizza for Office at 26th and 11th Avenue?
Don't get too excited, Paulie Shore, NYPS is good, as Adam said, not great. It is far from one of the city's 10 best, but it is solid for that side of town. Their sauce is so heavy it'll knock you on your ace. The west side leaves a lot to be desired with respect to good pizza, especially from the 20s through 40s.
Visiting New York City? 7 Must-Eat Pizzas You Should Try
AK, I think you may be onto something here and I'm not sure what to make of it. Perhaps we should refrain from making any proclamations regarding new pizzerias and let them find their own way.
But, then again, we wouldn't really be doing our job. Hey, its not our fault that Isabella's pimp pizzaoli, Luigi, had to return to Naples (for Cosa Nostra meetings or otherwise) and they immediately saw a decline in quality. And we're not to blame for Artichoke's inconsistent and overtopped pies, either!
I'm grabbing my pen and pad....I've got an article to write!

NYCFG - definitely want to get the rest of Manhattan sliceterias put away this fall and go from there. Obviously, south brooklyn pizza and sam's both look good and i haven't been back to Lucali's in a minute...umm, Covo looked good from what Ed said on slice and if you've got any recommendations, I'd happily take them....peace man
Ginsbera, sorry to hear you were disappointed (vastly?), that's never good to hear....maybe it was the lunchtime rush - what kind of slice(s) did you have on your visit? Their nonna isn't the best....but I still put their plain and margherita slices right there with joe's and certainly better than BSP
