We all have our go-to spots for a quick, delicious slice. The guy behind Chrissy's in Greenpoint does too, and some of his favorites include places like Amore, and Louie & Ernie’s. (And we love those spots as well.) But Chrissy’s, which began life as a pandemic pop-up in a Bushwick apartment and then had a brief stint in Manhattan, is not a quick slice shop. They only do pies, and for several months after they opened, their all-yellow storefront in Greenpoint drew long lines. Those lines have died down, but the pizza remains superlative. Swinging by for a pie is no longer a whole process, but you can also pre-order via their website for a guaranteed pizza party. Either way, you’ll be rewarded with a thin pie, generously loaded with a sweet, acidic sauce, a dimpled layer of mozzarella, and a crust so light and shattering that we’d happily eat the leftovers off a crust-hater’s plate. There's nowhere to sit in the retro-looking spot with a tiny TV screening Thief, but you can stand at the counter in front and go to town. Or take advantage of the sidewalk, the Citibike station, and the hood of your car if you have one, and swap slices with someone you just met at the counter to try them all.
