The Scene
The clean, curvaceous pop design distinguishes this narrow, brightly lit pizza joint. The room is dominated by a counter showcasing the day's fresh pizzas, which a bevy of young servers cut to order with scissors and sell by the pound. The restaurant's dearth of tables makes delivery an appealing option.

The Food
Pie takes a liberal approach to pizza, concocting a vast assortment of pies with toppings ranging from traditional to interesting--prosciutto and ricotta--to downright strange: potato chips and walnuts, or whole eggs. Experimentation is a good thing, but the classic Neopolitan offerings tend to be the tastiest. Crusts are thin and crisp, but a bit dry, which makes the sauceless pizzas less satisfying. Dessert pizzas, such as mascarpone and Nutella, and gelato and caramel, are surprisingly good.
