That place is delicious. A slice of cheese is only $2.75 and it is NY pizza with a Jersey Shore twist (a hint of whole wheat in the dough). Plus they have homemade pastries and desserts, a soda fountain, and organic salads. Yum! My favorite place. What about Pie in the Sky on Shattuck and Center? That place is delicious.

I remember I ordered a pasta dish from them and it went to around 10 bucks. Granted it was pretty tasty, but I could have gone to Gypsy's and gotten even more on my plate for less. I also don't like going there because they put a "tip" line on your credit card reciept. I'm hardly getting served, and you still ask for a tip? I would go there more often though if it wasn't so expensive, especially since I live on the same block. You guys did forget to mention that Bobbby G’s is pretty expensive.

Arinell's is basically exactly a NY hole-in-the-wall pizzeria. That's what it's like - plastic benches, soda in a paper cup, bizarre punch/lemonade fountain. And for us NY expats, Arinell's is a wonderful respite. And I don't think Blondie or Fat Slice are actually "NY Pizza" that is about as "NY Style" as Noah's (I'll give you a hint: Noah's is NOT NY). Just because the food has the same components, does not make it authentic (or tasty). Did you include any NY pizza savants in your taste tests?
