"Golden is about as bare-bones as a pizzeria can be, yet it has obviously been feeding the populace of its Mott Haven neighborhood for a good long time. The dining room is standing-only, and the counter routinely displays only one kind of slice, yet what a slice it is. Trim, nicely clotted with good cheese, not quite thin-crusted but crisp and tasty nonetheless. You can have some pepperoni thrown on top, but it’s not necessary. And, miracle of miracles, an entire cheese pie can be had for $6.50, which is less than dollar slice places charge." - Robert Sietsema
