"Pizzaiolo Sal Malanga opened this popular Upper West Side joint in 1959 and ran it until his death in 2011. His crust remains the quintessential element — "crisp on the outside and tender on the inside" as pizza fanatic Ed Levine once put it. Thereafter Sal’s grandson Lou keeps the place up and running, and the cheese slice is as good as always — great crust, with a tomato sauce and cheese that merge into a mysterious amalgam." - Robert Sietsema
