Bella Napoli’s Grandma Slice is their best slice

May 19, 2008

If you’re looking for consistency at Bella Napoli, the slice joint/restaurant on 49th St. b/t 6th & 7th Avenue, in addition to their best ratio of cheese to sauce to crust, look no further than their Grandma Slice ($3 slice/$22 pie). It combines Bella Napoli’s best balance of cheese and sauce, in this case a garlicky yet sweet marinara, in addition to providing the least obtrusive and tastiest crust of any of their slices. Whereas the regular slice has too much end crust and the Sicilian has too much crust in general, the Grandma is thin, crispy, and takes a backseat to the fresh basil and marinara/cheese combo.
