What people say, in short
Sacco's Pizza on 9th Ave in Hell's Kitchen draws praise as a classic New York slice, with one diner calling it the best classic slice they have had in Manhattan and another calling it the best slice joint in the city. One diner says the sauce is applied lightly, so it may not suit everyone. Views are not unanimous: one diner finds the slices inconsistent, sometimes excellent and occasionally poor, though still likely the best in the area, and another questions whether it is really a sit-down place.
