Portland food legend Vitaly Paley and third generation pizzaiolo Vinny Manna team up for some of the best pizza downtown, with a tight list of messy-wonderful New York-ish-style pies groaning with quality toppings, and some seriously fun cocktails. The menu sticks to eight pies—basic cheese wild with Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano to a heady mushroom-béchamel sauced pie carpeted with a forest of criminis—plus four slices and a handful of salads and snacks. Kick off your relationship with a (very generous) slice of the Meat Combo ($6), a megaton blast of mozzarella and melty fontina, ruffled pepperoni and hunky sausage, over zesty sauce and pillowy dough, crisped up fast in the Crown’s 700-degree hybrid brick hearth/electric oven.
