Best Pizza

This brightly-outfitted Midtown pizza place is always packed -- and its patio is especially inviting this time of year -- with good reason: The pizza has only steadily improved since it first opened, although the menu of several dozen pizzas is still (in my opinion) far too long. Piola, which is headquartered in Italy but which does a brisk business in Brazil, is also one of only two places in town where you can find catipury cheese (the other being Friends Pizzeria), that unbelievably creamy Brazilian cheese that comes out in fat dollops like mozzarella but spreads like a triple-crème Brie. That's what makes the Salvadore our favorite, with that catipury cheese melting into roasted chicken and spinach, but the Mantova -- beef carpaccio with Brie, diced tomatoes and arugula -- is a close runner up.
