"The Beach: North Beach, between 73th and 75nd Street. If you’re looking for a sandwich big enough to induce a beach nap, this isn’t it. This Roman-style pizza spot keeps it simple with a few thin slices of meat (we like the mortadella or prosciutto) and cheese between their very good pizza bianca. But if you do want a lighter sandwich (and maybe a few rectangles of pizza) then this place does the trick. And the walk over to the beach is about two medium-speed renditions of "Happy Birthday."
