Best Cheap Eats Poll: What is your favorite cheap eat in pizza?
Pizza
Amorina Cucina Rustica
This Prospect Heights pizza joint may have lofty aspirations (pies are adorned with such fancy toppings as dried cherries and crème fraîche), but it remembers the everyman. Two squares of crunchy plain pizza are teamed with soda for $5, a bargain beloved by locals. 624 Vanderbilt Ave between Park and Prospect Pls, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (718-230-3030)
Gnocco Cucina & Tradizione
A hip Italian eatery that recently entered the to-go pizza game, Gnocco offers slices of its crisp and thin Roman-style pizzas—made with fresh mozzarella—for famished lunchgoers to grab in a hurry. A scant $2.50 secures a sausage- or veggie-decorated treat. 337 E 10th St between Aves A and B (212-677-1913)
DiFara Pizzeria
Despite the Department of Health cracking its whip on pizza maestro Dom DeMarco, his circa-1964, Midwood, Brooklyn, institution still churns out expertly charred, wafer-thin slices, slicked with olive oil and made fragrant with fresh herbs. Sold for $3 per slice, it’s superlative pizza with a trifling price tag. 1424 Ave J at 15th St, Midwood, Brooklyn (718-258-1367)
Koronet Pizzeria
Folding a slice of thin-crust NYC pizza is a rite of passage. Folding a jumbo-size wedge of Koronet’s specialty, which droops comically over the paper plate’s edge, is a triumph over physics—and, at $3, a steal of a full meal. 2848 Broadway between 110th and 111th Sts (212-222-1566)—Joshua M.
