| - The other night while a bit inebriated, my friends starting talking about ordering a pizza and I started looking forward to eating a delicious slice of NY style plain cheese.
The opted to go for Sicilian crust. I was crushed and started fantasizing about NY style and this desire was still there when I woke up!
So a couple days later, I search Yelp for the best NY style pizza near me.
Now, I have my go to pizza places for "in-between" crusts, but not for thin.
(My totally personal understanding of pizza crusts is as follows:)
NY style: difficult to hold with one hand. Super thin, cheesy, greasy, yum
Inbetween: A fair amount of crust but not overpowering. Capable of holding multiple toppings
Deep Dish: Self explanatory and generally not my bag
Now, to satisfy my NY style craving, sources pointed to Fiori's, which I love and grew up on, but wasn't in the mood for, and Slice. I opted to give Slice a go!
They don't deliver out my way (bummer,) so I drove 10 minutes or so to pick it up. The inside of the restaurant is small, 3-4 tables and then the counter. The other patrons were friendly and talkative and made me wish that Slice had been open when I lived in Beechview as I'm sure I would have been a regular. Service was also very friendly and fast.
Did the pizza live up to my 2-day long daydream? Not quite, but it was still very good. I'm still on the hunt for my favorite thin crust but this was a pretty good contender. But what's really going to keep my coming back to slice are the hoagies! I'm not typically a huge fan, but the description of the Italian sold me and I was not disappointed. From the varierty of meats and cheeses to the baguette style bun it was served on, it was delicious. Will happily order again.
