Percy's Pizza: A Dollar Slice That Doesn't Suck

The problem with dollar slices is that you almost always get what you pay for. Sometimes not even that. Of those I've eaten around the city, the best I could say about the best of them was that they were cheap — and probably good for after-bar scarfing. But Percy's Pizza, a newish dollar slice joint on Bleecker amid all the bars and jazz clubs, might be the best dollar slice I've had.

NYC Quintessential: John's Pizzeria of Bleecker Street

Every city needs at least one older-than-old restaurant with a certain kind of cultivated rakishness — hard, straight-back wood booths that don't encourage lingering; graffiti-carved walls that conjure visions of 1950s hooliganism; grumpy signage.

900 Degrees, Almost As Many Pizza Options

Turns out that the new Greenwich Village pizzeria 900 Degrees has pretty much taken my daydream and made it reality. With two different ovens, this spacious, welcoming restaurant offers visitors four distinct genres of pizza: Neapolitan, Roman, Sicilian, and "tomato pie," in addition to a sort of category-defying menu subsection dubbed "Pizza Americana."

Greenwich Village: The Vesuvio and the Calzone at Keste

To that end, I'd been wanting to try a couple different things here: a weekly special called The Vesuvio (buffalo mozzarella, stracciatella, prosciutto di Parma, cherry tomatoes, and basil) and the "Ripieno," a calzone stuffed with ricotta, fresh mozzarella, salame, and just a smidge of tomato sauce.

Gray's Papaya in Greenwich Village Now Serving Dollar Slices

There's a reason why the hot dog line remains long while the line for dollar slices at Greenwich Village Gray's Papaya is nonexistant. The slices there, ladies and gents, are not very good. And, no, there are no hot dog–topped slices at Gray's. Although, if you spend an extra buck fifty, you can improvise, as I did — photographic evidence, after the jump.

Daily Slice: Four Cheese at Pizza Roma, Greenwich Village, NYC

The area around Bleecker Street, between Sixth and Seventh, is already so crowded with pizzerias (some excellent) that it doesn't seem like a new one would add much to the neighborhood. But Pizza Roma, the first American outpost of a Barcelona-based chain, serves something quite different: thin-crusted Roman square slices.

Daily Slice: Phil's Pizza, Greenwich Village

Phil's Pizza opened its doors on Varick Street in 1972. If the sepia-tone photos posted on the wall are any indication, not much has changed since. Homemade signs with crossed-out prices layered with decades of grease are strewn about the pizzeria, and the slice is classic.

NYC Quintessential: Eat at Joe's Pizza

You could view it as a strange sort of testament to Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village that we've never formally reviewed it or Daily Sliced it on this site. After all, who doesn't know what Joe's is like?

Daily Slice: Ben's vs. Ben's

Today's Daily Slice is a two-fer. Aren't you lucky? I just couldn't visit one Ben without also visiting the other. So here we're putting Famous Ben's Pizza of Soho (Spring Street) head to head with Ben's Pizzeria on West 3rd and MacDougal. Over the years I've been blabbing on Slice, I've had people recommend one of them consistently over the other. Until yesterday I couldn't remember which one that was. And you know what? I still don't. But I now know which one I like more.

Daily Slice: Zpizza, Greenwich Village

The undercarriage of my 160-calorie Tuscan slice bore diamond-shaped marks suggesting that it was cooked on a mesh screen, but the wheaty crust wasn't bad tasting or super-dense. It was topped with thinly sliced crimini, shiitake, and button mushrooms (let's be honest: not too many shiitakes). The skim milk mozzarella was improved by the addition of savory feta and a smear of roasted garlic. Though the caramelized onions pushed the slice toward sweetness, they were nearly balanced by the mushrooms, feta, and a savory sprinkle of truffle oil. We're wary of truffle oil at Slice HQ, but this addition wasn't overpowering.
