"This funky little slice shop in Cypress Park comes from the Found Oyster and Barra Santos people, which explains the pendant lights and deep green tiles. But it’s much more than a loiter zone for people who occasionally text a Haim sister. The crisp, well-browned NY-style slices here fold in half like there’s a perforated edge down the middle. It’s the updated, often Asian-influenced, toppings that set Shins apart, though. Their take on a meat lover’s pie—with sweet Chinese sausage, smoky speck, and a dollop of spicy sambal—deserves a dedicated takeout window, but we also love the controversial mortadella-topped take on white pie, which tastes like a gooey makeout session between creamy ricotta and salty-sweet lunch meat.
