Daily Slice: Il Mondo, Boston
Humungous slices make Il Mondo's a decent option for the neighborhood, but this Mission Hill pizzeria doesn't live up to the slices from its past. More

Pizza Contadino was once a food cart, but has since moved their talent into the kitchen of the hipster North Portland bar, The Fixin' To. The pastel yellow food cart still remains parked outside (for storage purposes), which made this hidden spot a little easier to find. More
Palermo Restaurant, in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood, is one of the better examples of local pizza history. The current location, which opened in 1979 after a three year stint on Hillhurst Avenue, offers standard red sauce Italian dishes; all of which are not worth consideration. Only one item is a must have: the Pizza Rosa (med $11.25/large $16.45). More
The cold cheese slice is heavy in every sense of the word, but Little V's New York-style pizza is more than sturdy enough to handle the weight. What you get is a pizza with fresh new layers of tangy cheese both hot and cold; a slice that is decidedly not for the lactose intolerant. More
Strip mall pizza places are a dime a dozen in the Jersey 'burbs. So what makes me go back to Villa Roma time and again when I've got more counter joints than I can count on both hands within a mile radius of my kitchen? The Absolut pizza ($15), slathered with vodka sauce instead of regular tomato sauce, turns a basic, unassuming takeout pie into a classy affair. More
It's a white pie (no tomato sauce) topped with mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta, Aleppo pepper, and spring garlic. If Aleppo pepper sounds familiar, that's because you've probably seen in on My Pie Monday, where dhorst has been a huge proponent and "Aleppo crack" dealer. In fact, as Falco described the pie, he said, "You know where I got the idea, don't you?" More
The Italian mozzarella purveyor, Obikà, is slowly creeping into the US market. Importing mozzarella di bufala (yes, made with real bufala milk) three times a week, they seek to seamlessly blend imported Italian ingredients with local produce. In March, the Los Angeles location became the first in America to introduce Obikà's style of pizza. More
Locanda serves plain pizza bianca to every table at the start of a meal. But they'll also offer to top it for you, like this version covered in stracciatella and fava beans that perfectly evokes Spring. More
Though it's located in the Eaton Centre (and College Park), Richtree isn't your typical food court fare. Inside the "market restaurant" are several food stations where you can get everything from fruit and yogurt parfaits to roast chicken dinners, prepared salads, and some of the best muffins in the city. In my 10 plus years of downtown living, I tried nearly everything on offer at least once, but kept coming back for the focaccia pizza. More
