These are not "gourmet" or "artisan" pizzas. They're just regular old pizzas cooked in a standard gas oven, with one important difference: they taste good. The crust is thin, and good eating right to the edge (but no charred crust here). The sauce is light and tomatoey, not thick and sweet. The cheese is dairy-sweet and toasty. The Sicilian, especially if you're lucky enough to get a slice cut from a fresh-out-of-the-oven pie, is a large rectangle with a light, airy, crunchy crust.

"If you want a taste of old-time New York City pizza-by-the-slice, Joe's plain slices are the way to go."

"Patrons line up to order their slices."

"Joe's is most definitely a food-of-the-people kind of place, with no pretense whatsoever. Be prepared for crowds, jostling, and that unique brand of New York "directness.""
