IMO, their fresh mozzarella varieties are on par or better than anything you'll get anywhere in the city, period. Fairly consistent, very thin crispy crust with awesome sauce. Why they don't keep the shelves stocked with those pies I can't comprehend. At about $4/slice, its expensive, but it flies when they make it. Instead the shelf is packed with pie after pie of that thick crust full of numerous toppings drek. How is Bravo on 42nd and 5th not on the list?

It was thin and chewy like 10 year old cardboard. There wasn't much sauce at all, which means no tomato flavor. The fresh mozzarella was ok...but when the dough is horrible, and there's no sauce....not much is left. Little Italy on 43rd and 5th destroys this place. Two Boots is also better. I suppose if you get the post 2pm 1.75 slice and you're starving, then it's ok. I just ate Naples 45 pizza for the first time and I can’t understand how this pizza is ranked so high.

You have to get delivery or have a lot of time on your hands, at least from that location. I'm giving the edge to Little Italy on 45th because it's a true no-frills slice joint that cranks out respectable Sicilian and grandma pies and you can be in and out in a couple of minutes.
