I'm not sure what people in LA think that NYC pizza tastes like, but this isn't it. I stopped in to order a "ready made" plain cheese slice, which wasn't immediately visible on the counter. The person manning the register took my order and ~5 minutes later, my slice emerged from the back of the store. The pizza was extremely greasy, with far too much cheese and just a hint of tart, acidic-tasting sauce. The crust was also nothing special - flavorless white flour. Overall, the slice was extremely rubbery, similar to day old pizza that was refrigerated and then reheated.
For any of my fellow NYC metro area transplants who continue to search for an acceptable NYC-style pizzeria: keep searching. These aren't the slices that you're looking for.
