Editorial Review for Home Slice Pizza – by Joshua Hinsdale
The Scene
Home Slice serves up New York-style thin crust pizza in a fun, urban atmosphere. Local hipsters and office workers crowd the colorful booths and read the creative signs and graphics on the walls. Those who want to view the pizza-making first-hand sit at the crimson-hued counter. Attractive, young, hip servers bustle as if they are hosting a dinner party at their home and want all their friends to be happy.
The Food
The tasty hand-thrown pies come in several varieties, from the traditional margherita to the outrageous white clam pie. Order by-the-slice, especially if you're on-the-go, or for the full experience, order a full pie and enjoy it on-site. Customize your own pizza from a long list of traditional (artichoke hearts, mushrooms, pepperoni) and more edgy (fried clams, fried eggplant, Kalamata olives) toppings. Family style salads come in a large bowl and are plenty for four. Made-to-order subs, salads and calzones also grace the menu.
Hits: Dark enough for a date, yet casual enough for families.
Misses: For some reason, the takeout pizza slices from the front service window don't stack up to the quality of the dine-in pies.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoWhole pies are only served until 11pm weeknights, until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and until 10pm on Sundays.
What to DrinkAlong with the traditional soft drinks, there's organic root beer, Boylan and Izze sodas and bottles of wine and beer--all available for takeout.
ParkingYou'll need to park on the street, so start looking for a spot when you're a couple blocks away if it's a peak time.

It's pretty obvious, this place is the best pie in town. Why do i say that you might ask? Because every seasoned food critic knows the foundation to a phenomenal pizza is the crust. This is a neapolitan/new york style crust that will not be mistaken for any other. Thin, crispy, and still chewy...it's that simple people. I've tried the Southside Flying Pies (mediocre), Milto's, Frank & Angies, etc. and this is definitely my favorite. Yaghi's New York pizza is pretty good, but no Home Slice. Now i know this is a blog for the almighty Home Slice and no offense to my buddies that work there, but I like to share the love. So, for all you neapolitan/thin style crust lovers, the only ones that come close to this place in my opinion are 2 places: East Side Pies and Saccone's. I dont care what anyone says... these 3 places are where it's at, period. Much love Home Slice!!! -Mems
