Vinnie's Pizzeria - JFK Boulevard at Lincoln St.

Having grown up in the heights, Vinnie's was a frequent Friday night dinner in our house. Their slices over the years have remained consistent and are near perfect in all aspects. When you get a slice in the restaurant, make sure to ask for it hot and it will be dripping with cheese. The sauce is homemade and the seasonings are just right. The crust is crispy yet floppy enough for a good fold.

Whenever I stop in, I usually grab two slices because they are just that good. I consider them among the best with Gino's Pizzeria, though the two are like comparing apples to oranges.

Marco's (Formerly Matarazzo's) Baldwin Ave at Jefferson Ave

Once upon a time there was a little place called Matarazzo's on Baldwin Ave. One of their employees purchased the striving business and viola! We have Marco's Deli and Pizzeria!

While Marco's does more business in the deli and hot food department, they do serve up a nice slice. Their slices are very "Little Italy" style, barely even, often out of dimension, but they serve up nice. The sauce to cheese ratio is good, and the sauce is homemade with just the right amount of basil and garlic and not too sweet like some of the places I will review at a later time. Marco himself is a nice guy and is always happy to serve. While they're not the absolute best slice in the heights, he's got some really good lunch deals and will deliver almost anywhere in Jersey City upon request.
