Not everyone is won over: one diner found a takeout slice's crust greasy and soggy, one wishes the crust were crisper, one finds a special pie uninspired, one wishes for a better vodka slice, and a few prefer Five Points, Frankie's or Pinky Ring. Most who name a branch mean the Nashville West shop.
