Short review/side note- if you want a general, delicious, plain slice, go here. Also, the technical name of this spot should be "Lucia Pizza of Gramercy," following the same nomenclature as "of Ave X" and the "of Soho" locations, but whatever.
This is one of the, as of this point, four locations of this excellent pizza place (there are almost enough places to call it a chain, but the quality is still too high, so I will let that slide for now.) In general, their plain/classic slice is excellent. It is reasonably priced for the quality at $3.50, and a nice middle ground between the more classic style at spots like Joe's or Luigi's and a more modern slice at L'Industrie or a handful of other places. I would say it's more towards the latter, as the crust is a bit crispier, and it's one of my favorite standard slices in the city.
New to this location, as well as the UES location, is the Field Pig with roasted corn, smoked pancetta, gruyère béchamel, chive, and an olive oil finish. The price point is $5.99 + tax for any specialty slice (this includes white pizza, which is a bit odd,) while the plain slice, as mentioned before, is $3.50 + tax. They also appear to offer more square pies here. The slice was interesting, with a bit of saltiness, some sweetness and crunch from the corn, and a bit more richness than their typical slice, which was probably from the bechamel. I am happy that the bechamel wasn't too overpowering, as then it probably would have reminded me a bit too much of Artichoke Basille's, which I'm not that big a fan of. It was good, though I still prefer their plain and the standard mushroom from the original location on Avenue X. There also seemed to be more square pies here compared to their other locations.
The original location of this place is closer to a 5, while the rest of their spots get closer to a four. The plain slice is still extremely good and worth waiting in line.
