Pie is as far removed from a neighborhood slice joint as it gets. First, there's the decor: modern, minimalist, more Nolita boutique than Do the Right Thing. Second, the pizza is oblong, resembling a tasty-looking skateboard, and toppings run the gamut from potato-ricotta to bacon-and-egg. Most distinctive, though, is the ordering procedure. You tell the counterperson how big a piece you want, she snips it off, weighs it, and charges you $7 to $16 per pound depending on the topping. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
