What people say, in short
Little Italy Pizza recommendations span its New York locations, including University Place. Two diners specifically praise this shop's slices. Other outlets receive praise for crisp crust or sauce, but those details are not assigned to University Place. Dissent includes a visitor who calls this location deeply disappointing and another who questions the chain's cornmeal underside. The pool contains enthusiasm without consistent agreement across outlets.
