Nunzio's, a Classic Slice on Staten Island

A minimally beautiful little slice. Life rafts of mozzarella float atop a bright-red sea of fresh-tasting, chunky sauce—it's little more than crushed canned tomatoes, some salt, and a some basil. The crust is crisp and pliant and thin. You'll probably want a couple.

Emeryville, California: Rotten City Pizza

Most San Franciscans don't go to Emeryville unless they're headed to IKEA. Well, if you find yourself in need of a slice of pizza to sustain your shopping habit, you might consider Rotten City Pizza.

Giuseppina's: Is it Lucali East?

Like his brother Mark (owner of Lucali), Chris Iacono uses a gas- and wood-fired oven to produce thin crust New York-style pizzas with a Di Fara-inspired blend of three cheeses and impeccable toppings, all in a warm and romantic ambiance.

Astoria, Queens: Via Trenta Osteria & Wine Bar

The atmosphere is comfortable (much brighter than the previous incarnation, which required night-vision goggles), and the staff is friendly. I could see this becoming a go-to for me not because the pizza is AMAZING but because it is good enough and nearby.

Cambridge, MA: Area Four Pizza

Cambridge's newest pizzeria, Area Four, sports quality, often homemade toppings on a tender, flavorful New York-Neapolitan crust. With some guidance in the pie size department, you can capitalize on the crust-to-good-stuff ratio.

Chicago: Embrace the Stuffed Pizza at Porretta's

Trattorria Porretta & Pizza has grown from tiny pizzeria to a full-service Italian restaurant and banquet hall over the years in Portage Park. The family operation maintains the regional status quo in the Chicago thin crust department, but the carry-out only stuffed crust is worth sacrificing the comforts of a sit-down meal.

Portland, Oregon: Oven & Shaker

[Photographs: Derek Arent] Oven & Shaker 1134 NW Everett St, Portland OR 97209 (map); 503-241-1600 Pizza Type: Cali-meets-NW-meets-Neapolitan Oven Type: Wood-fired Price: $12-15 for 12-inch pizzas Just like the bistro-style burger at Le Pigeon and the Fish Sauce Wings at Pok Pok, the pizza at Nostrana was a menu item deemed worthy of forming the foundation for a whole new restaurant. This formula is an apparent trend in the current Portland culinary scene, and the genesis of Oven and Shaker relied heavily on the weight of chef Cathy Whims' wood-fired pies. With...

Oakland, CA: A Likable Lunch at Dopo

At Dopo, you won't find a high-powered oven, or any of the bells and whistles typically attached to the newest Bay Area pizzerias. But they serve pizza that makes a very likable lunch, and isn't that the point?

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.
