Rachel W.Rachel W.: I'm still nostalgic for their (now shuttered) original location on the corner of Bleecker/Carmine. While the plain and fresh mozz are the stars, the sleeper hit is the Sicilian right out of the oven.

Roberto B.Roberto Bua: A NYC classic. The white, all-cheese pie was amazing. Didn't have their fresh mozzarella pie but it looked great. Thin and really crispy, like NYC pizza should be.

ZenFoodsterZenFoodster: Get a reliable classic NYC pizza slice here: plain cheese, fresh mozz, pepperoni+mushroom or Sicilian. Open 'til ~4:30am & just as good as Joe Pozzuoli's original 42 yr-old W Village spot.
