"Locals clamor in droves to this pizza joint in the center of Newkirk Plaza, where reliably consistent NY style slices and pies — with a few twists — are sold every day except Sundays. Neighborhood favorites include the Upside Down slice, with spooned-on pizza sauce atop mozzarella on a fluffy-crusted traditional Sicilian dough; the Grandma, a thin-crusted Sicilian slice with chunky marinara, little globs of fresh garlic and carefully sliced basil; and the Grandpa pie, available by the slice only on Fridays, topped off with fried eggplant, fresh mozzarella, and ricotta. The scenic train ride over the Manhattan Bridge from neighborhoods to the north and east is every bit worth the trip to bring home an assortment of slices that will satisfy even the most seasoned of pizza enthusiasts." - Gabriella Cascone
