"If Grant Central East has the slices that taste the most like NYC pizza, then Rosa’s interior feels the most like a tight-fit Big Apple slice shop. The narrow pizzeria isn’t optimal for eating, making it a grab-and-go downtown staple. Pizza makers pluck spicy sausage and mushrooms from tubs and toss ingredients onto giant $2.55 slices of pre-made cheese pizza before reheating in the oven. While you wait, avoid looking too hard at the countertops and floor, which have the well-worn look of a pizzeria that’s more focused on getting you out the door quickly. After a few bites of the giant, decently good cheesy slices piled high with whatever you selected, your napkin won’t be pristine either." - nina reeder, juli horsford
