Generous slices built on a non-greasy dough recall decades-old pizza at this inexpensive Astor Avenue counter. Ask for your pie crispy, and consider delivery, as some reviews mention less friendly encounters at the counter.

808 Burke Ave

Hot, cheesy slices and garlic knots with a crisp crust and soft center lead the menu on Burke Avenue, about a seven-minute walk from Gun Hill Road. Pasta, tacos and turkey bacon cheeseburgers with fries keep prices low, though delivery draws complaints.

Classic New York slices and Sicilian pies carry a nostalgic appeal on Bainbridge Avenue, with Italian sandwiches and baked ziti on the side. Hot entrees can be uneven, and the dining room runs warm in summer when the ovens are going.
