"We tried to get an employee at this Flushing spot to tell us the secret to their pizza. They gave us a one-word answer: consistency. Open since the 1970s, this fluorescent-lit shop is still churning out simple, perfect New York-style pies for a steady stream of customers. Stop by for a whole cheese pizza, or try to snag a slice fresh from the oven. The crust is thin and crispy with a little bit of chew, the sauce is thick and not-too-sweet, and the hefty layer of cheese on top is bright orange with grease. Grab a table in the small, barebones space so you can eat your pizza as soon as it exits the oven." - bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
