Anthony's Pizza & Pasta
Anthony's Pizza & Pasta is the place to go if you're looking for the authentic New York pie experience or, as they say, the kind you fold in half to eat. This franchise's 20 area locations attest to its popularity. Heroes, pastas and salads are available, but the main draw is the pizza. Sicilian and Neapolitan varieties are available by the slice, and they'll be happy to throw on a variety of fresh toppings such as roma tomatoes, mushrooms and meatballs. Garlic bread, with or without cheese, is available as an appetizer.

Mici Handcrafted Italian
Just as its name says, this venue offers hand-crafted pies of fresh dough that's baked on a stone deck oven. These purists use such authentic ingredients as Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano that add a robust flavor to their pizza--even the meatballs are hand-rolled fresh. House-made salads and soups are on offer, and sandwich paninis are made from fresh baked ciabatta bread.

Marco's Coal Fired Pizza
Marco's Coal Fired Pizza is a gourmet venue serving hickory fire-smoked pies. Pizza making is taken seriously here. Many a joint may claim to serve Neapolitan pies, but only 40 restaurants in the U.S. are certified by the Verace Pizza Napoletan to have that right, and this is one. Its dough throwers are trained by the distinguished Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napolitan--even their dough has a renowned provenance.
