slice, the perfect food

upper east side, pizzeria, friendly, organic, healthful, expensive
slice, the perfect food ("stpf") was put together by miki, who says she coundn't find healthful slice of pizza in manhattan! not sure if pizzas were meant to be healthy in the first place, nevertheless, she has a good selection of slices (and pies) named interestingly - starts with "simpleton" and move on to "genius" and you'll embark on "dunce" and "expert" along the way. the price of a slice also travels upward as you get "smarter" in your choice of the slice. i like organic ingredients, and try to get them as much as possible, but i've begun to wake up thinking that the grocery from "whole foods" store does dig deeper into my wallet! :-( "stpf" is not far from that either. i think that's the most i have paid for a slice when i ordered the "expert" (yes, i wasn't prepared to be a "simpleton", or a "dunce", or for that matter, "genius"). my slice had rosemary grilled chicken, and i ordered it on soy cheese. i could have done with rice mozz as well. absolutely good slice of pizza... but felt guilty for paying $5+ for only a slice! it may not be a lot for others in the upper east side, but people familiar with the nyc pizza scene know that its not cheap! the pizza is cut into smaller bite-sized slices, so there is no mess... but i do not know if you could take it on the street and shove it down like a slice of "ray's pizza"! what i liked was the freshness of the ingredients, the attitude of "stpf" (and its people), and the friendly service ready to recommend toppings. what i think they could do with is reduced prices! but again, organic comes with a price!
fyi well, its upper east side. you are not far away from the whitney, or other museums. and of course, the park.
