Daily Slice: Piazza 17, Manhattan

Greasy and hefty, it's not the most refined pizza you've ever had, but for $3, we got quite a good lunch out of it. We'd go back to try more.

Daily Slice: Cauliflower and Gruyere Pizza at Grandaisy, NYC

Grandaisy Bakery is a fine destination for thin squares of pizza; we recently enjoyed the Couolfiore($3.25), cauliflower and Gruyere.

Daily Slice: Ricotta Slice, Birdbath Bakery, Soho

The little slices at Birdbath in Soho are part pizza, part tart, but they're quite nice—delicate and flaky, like a flat square of croissant dough brushed with rich, cooked-down tomato sauce. The edges look as if they were cut with pinking shears, and there isn't any puff, but the crust is salted just enough and it's rich without being overwhelming.

NYC Quintessential: Lombardi's Coal-Oven Pizza

I'll just say it: Lombardi's is kind of a big tourist thing. After having been hyped in countless national newspaper and magazine stories, guidebooks, and travel shows, this "first pizzeria in America" is pretty much packed any night of the week with people more likely to hail from Manhattan, Kansas, than Manhattan Manhattan. (OK, that's probably an exaggeration, but poetic license, you know?)

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.

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.

Where to Get Deep Dish Pizza in NYC? Not at L'asso

I was eating a dainty Neapolitan pizza with Adam Kuban recently when I lamented the fact that there's no Chicago deep dish pizza available in NYC (putting aside the few remaining branches of awful chain Uno Chicago Grill, which is actually headquartered in Boston). Adam mentioned that there is a place in Astoria that reportedly sells deep dish pies, but a few days later Time Outannounced that L'Asso is now selling a deep dish pie much closer to my Manhattan home.

Manhattan: Fanelli's Cafe (Yes, It Serves Pizza)

Fanelli's 94 Prince Street, New York NY 10012 (between Greene St & Mercer St); 212-226-9412; Pizza Style: Bar Oven Type: Gas The Skinny?Classic New York City watering hole serves a not-so-classic pizza Price: 9-inch personal pie, $11 Fanelli's Cafe has been around in its current form since Michael Fanelli bought it in 1922 and, in defiance of the Prohibition laws that went into effect that year, turned his new "cafe" into a speakeasy and gin mill under the guise of selling food. But the building itself has an even more storied past, dating back to at least 1847 as...
