Pizza Suggestions, On the Go

On my way to a coffee shop to get some writing done, a friend and passer-by rode up beside me to get a quick pizza suggestion.  He was hungry, and short on time and required a slice or two.  No time for ordering a whole pie.  (We were on bikes btw)

This conversation spurred a prompt brain fart.  I have readily given suggestions on where to go for the best pizza pie in the city, but this dude needed a quick slice, and it was 5:30pm, so Jo Jo’s is out of the question.

What is the best, any-time quick stop for a slice of pizza in the city?  Feeling like I failed a friend, I threw out the usual names;  Piccola’s, Vito’s, Mary Angela’s.  How typical.  Oh Richmond I have failed thee.

After I get some suggestions from yous guys, my next task is to find the best pizza by the slice so I can lead my friends in the right direction.

*Jo Jo’s does not qualify since they operate on special hours.
