What makes it special: A busy upstairs slice joint near the Oculus turning out reliably hot NY-style pies at true downtown-lunch prices.

When to visit: Mid-afternoon or just before noon rush for shorter lines.
What to order: Cheese slice, a Sicilian square, and a chicken Parm hero if you’re hungry.
