  • The pizza style at Pi is in the vein of a Grimaldi's or Lombardi's--both in NYC--but certainly doesn't reach those heights. While the pies I have tried are decent, they are a bit high on price: a 12" 6-cut pie costs $12 and a slice isn't very filling when that small. What I don't like their prices and portion options is that there is no low-risk way to try the product. It would be nice if they offered slices for lunch or something to that effect. Instead, you have to go all in on that bet. I have had the margherita and the puttanesca (hold the anchovies) and both were a-ok on the overall taste. My friends got the quattro formagi, which didn't look appealing to me at all. It came out and the cheeses were already starting to cool back down and congeal. They reported that it was only "ok" and I'd likely never get it because I am a fool for a good tomato sauce, which this lacked. Their pie crust is tasty, but the chefs sometimes go a bit too far on darkness of it. The sauce is too watery and things get a little soupy on top of the margherita at least. What I have had that was really enjoyable is the insalata della casa (sans the prosciutto), but even that is a more expensive salad for what you get. In terms of atmosphere, their dining area is way too dark and serious, to the point of being alienating. It feels like the place is supposed to be very scene-y but when juxtaposed with almost no other patrons in the place on Saturday afternoon or a weekday evening it feels really weird and way too dark. Service I have had there has been fine though. And my last grievance is a menu typo. None of us are perfect at self-editing, but when you insist--INSIST--on using the Italian translation of words all throughout your menu, at least check that they are words. Panini is a plural word that basically means "sandwiches" or "bread roll", panino being the singular version. Where does that leave "paninis" you ask? It roughly translates as "sandwiches-es". Overall, I can say that Pi is an ok albeit expensive piece of pizza (that you can't get by the slice), perhaps not worth a special drive but not bad if you are in the neighborhood and desperate. I suggest trying Piccolo Forno if real NYC pizza is your interest but beware long lines and no Sunday hours there.
