"Even the greatest slice places are generally not establishments where you want to stay and hang for a while. That’s what makes Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop different. It’s an order-at-the-counter spot, with a beer and wine bar at the back of the space where you’ll find people posted up eating pizza, watching sports, and playing on a vintage video game console. Unlike the original Paulie Gee’s, this is not Neapolitan-style pizza—it’s classic New York slices and pies (including plenty of vegan options), plus the Sicilian style, sesame-crusted Freddy Prinze, which is the best thing here." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang
