Cheese

Why people love it

A big, thin, foldable cheese slice that many East Coasters call the real New York thing. The knock: slices reheated from pies held behind the counter, sometimes burnt.

The plain cheese pie from the Basics list at a Hyde Street pizza shop on Russian Hill, sold medium and large and by the slice. Price is the medium pie from the shop's own menu, which gives no inch sizes.
