This is supposedly Upstate New York-style pizza. These are thin-crust pies made with part semolina flour for a little textural oomph, baked in a super-hot brick oven for those fetching blister pocks. Keep the toppings simple -- the 16- by 16-inch square-cut Sicilian is thicker and less appealing than the 18-inch round. Lift up a slice and you'll find a deeply browned underside, imparting a nutty flavor. During the day they've got 12 pies by the slice. At night it's more whole pies, straight-ahead pepperoni the most popular. The lasagna pie (sausage and meatball topped with ricotta and mozzarella) can leave you in a pleasant stupor. Takeout or dine in? Pizzas travel well, but the dining room is pleasant.
