My vote in the best pie category goes to Luzzo’s Diavola (Spicy Salami) Pizza.
Sadly, still not sold on any one slice in particular.

Neighborhood Finds: Lil' Frankie's Pizza
While visiting friends in NY, my city aficionado and fellow foodie, Ed, took me to one of his favourite Village spots called Lil’ Frankie’s. Located in a super chic section of the Village (nestled right next to EVR, for those in “the know”), Lil’ Frankie’s is everything you want an authentic, but trendy neighborhood eatery to be. To die for fresh tastes, friendly and knowledgeable servers, great wine, and a fun but cozy ambiance. I definitely recommend grabbing some friends and going if you dwell in NYC, or stopping by for a treat if you’re visiting.
About Lil’ Frankies
“Italy’s neighorhood pizzeria’s are known as really casual places to hang out, meet friends, eat, drink and talk. Lil’ Frankie’s is just that. We offer real Neapolitan pizza, made exactly as it’s made in Naples, fresh handmade pastas cooked to order, a wine and grappa list that rivals any in the city, and friendly (never pushy) service - all in a setting designed to make you feel at home.” - About Lil’ Frankie’s
