Bella Napoli: Midtown West’s Best Slice Joint

February 6, 2008

I made the claim, now deal with it all you Ray’s lovers. Bella Napoli’s pizza is thin, crisp, and authentic and as long as we’re all paying $2.50 for a single slice of pizza, the least we can do is ensure that it’s a slice that will fill us up, an area where Bella never disappoints.

Bella Napoli is not only delicious, it’s the best slice for its price in Midtown West, find out why after the break…

It’s simple to see why Bella Napoli is the best value. Look at the slice below.

Now look at it if it were cut in half…

One slice of Bella Napoli is almost as big as two of the smaller slices you’d get in a 8 slice pie anywhere else.

Obviously the best way to eat pizza is when it’s fresh, so as I list the best options at Bella Napoli, keep in mind I’m referring to a fresh slice.

The Best Slices at Bella Napoli:

Sicilian – the classic version of this slice, airy, doughy, very tasty and very filling
Margherita – Fresh Mozzarella and tasty marinara covering a nice thin, crisp crust. How can you go wrong?
Grandma – this popular thin crust square isn’t as garlicky as some Grandma slices but it’s made in the traditional slice joint style: mozzarella surrounding a dollop of marinara
Plain – the plain slice gets the job done but its one weakness is that the cheese stops a little short of the crust. I’d like a little more cheese and sauce, a little less crust. The best way to avoid this is the combo bite. Fold your slice, bite from the front, and then take a bite of the crust and mix it all together, that way you’re not stuck with all this extra crust at the end.

There are a few other Bella Napolis in the city but this one is no longer affiliated with the others, so if you’ve had bad experiences at separate Bellas, don’t hold it against the Midtown West branch.
