We ordered a pepperoni pizza and Uncle Larry got a pizza with a lot of different cheese and tomatoes.  My pizza had a lot of cheese which was melted all over the entire slice.  The crust is very dry and good and the tomato sauce isn’t runny and stays in one place.  The pepperoni is a little spicy which i like.  The pizza Uncle Larry got (editors note: it was a margherita alla napolentana) had a lot of mushrooms, tomatoes and maybe some spinach and a lot of cheeses.  It was really good.  The two pizzas were enough for all three of us.  They were really nice and gave us Halloween rings and Carl got a Dum Dum and I got a Reeses.
p.s.  It’s not that big, so if you get there when is crowded you might gave to wait.  It wasn’t crowded when we went but I bet sometimes it is.
4.0 slices I give them 4 stars.

In the floor there’s glass and there’s weird pizza faces in there.  The walls have stuff in them too.  Its cool to look at and they share the same space as Little Baby’s ice cream.
We got a pepperoni pizza.  The cheese is baked into the pizza and they put stringy cheese on top too.  The sauce tastes like it’s fresh tomatoes and not from a can but there isn’t a lot at all.  The crust is thin and its crunchy on the outside.   It has a little grease under the pizza which gives it more flavor.
3.5 slices
I give it 3.5 stars.

Carl said as we walked in and I agree – this place is fancy.  We had like 3 people waiting on us and one brought us a coloring book and crayons.  I like that they gave us 4 different types of bread.  And I like how one wall in the dining room is all windows.  We ordered Roy Rogers to drink and they put two dark cherries on a stick.  The waitress said they were sweeter than the normal cherries.
The pizza i good.  The crust is really thin and easy to break. It is the thinnest crust we had so far. The sauce is fresh but there’s not that much of it.  And there’s barely any cheese but that’s a good thing.  The desserts are really fancy too and we got a honey gelato.
4.0 slices I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s fancy and the pizza is good.

Today we went to Tacconelli’s.  I like that the pizza is backwards with the sauce on top and the cheese under it.  I like that it has lots of tomato sauce.  I really like the tomato sauce; it’s liquidy.  The cheese is stringy and the crust is thin and crunchy.  Carl said that Uncle Larry once ate two whole pizzas here by himself.  Uncle Larry almost forgot to take my picture because he was too busy eating the pizza.
They have a lot of different sodas and you can even bring in your own stuff.  There was a party going on and they brought a lot of food and drinks.  But I can’t wait for them to bring out our second pizza.
4.0 slices I wish they could make a pizza slice as big as a whole pizza.
I give this place four stars!!!!!!

We went to Slice tonight.  We ordered plain pizza but it is not like one of those places with a waitress.  We had to go to the counter to order our pizza.  We sat outside and we got a bottle of orange soda for our drink.

The pizza is good, two thumbs up.  It’s crunchy and if you push it down with your thumb, it doesn’t break.  It holds its shape, and it’s good hard.  It’s nice and hot.  The parmesan cheese is fresh and good too.

The people are nice.  They gave us extra parmesan and the tomato sauce is very tomatoey. There was no waiter so you have to go to the counter and ask for stuff.  You have to ask for them to open your bottle and anything else you need.  We sat outside at a table and were left on our own.

It’s just across the street from Capitolo playground.

4.0 slices I rate this place 3 and a half stars. They lost half a star because you had to ask them for stuff.
