What people say, in short
La Traviata on West 68th Street draws recommendations for a straightforward New York slice. A diner particularly praises the simple pepperoni, and another reports consistently good slices. Visitors also value it as a budget-friendly stop. A commenter describes a small space with only a couple of tables rather than a full sit-down restaurant, so it is better suited to a quick slice than an elaborate meal.
