Ideally I’d spread out my pizza-eating and -photographing to a number of different pizzerias throughout NYC, but I’m limited these days largely to where I can get on my lunch breaks. Since realizing that Sofia Pizza Shoppe is only a 15-minute mini-jaunt away from my office, I’ve been going there A LOT.<\/p>\n

I hop on the E train at Seventh Avenue & 53rd, take it two stops east to 53rd\u2013Lexington, and then walk over to First Avenue. When the trains are actually running smoothly, it’s a nice way to spend my entire lunch hour out of the office and away from the computer.<\/p>\n

I won’t say more than the fact that the pizza is fantastic. It’s a properly done old-school New York\u2013style slice. The spinach dip slice is their signature thing, but you can’t go wrong with any slice topped with whatever calls to you.<\/p>\n

One slice that caught me by surprise was the vodka-mushroom slice (above). I’d never seen vodka sauce with a mushroom add\u2014usually just plain vodka (below) or, at most, pepperoni. The mushroom is unexpectedly good.<\/p>\n
