We went to Salvation Pizza last night. It's the latest restaurant in the old house on 34th Street that used to be (Senor) O'Brien's and then Starlite.
If you're a fan of pizza with a very thin, crisp cracker-like crust, this could be the place for you. I thought the crust was a bit dense, almost like unleavened bread, but it was flavorful. They call it "Neopolitan", but I've never been to Naples, so I can't vouch for its authenticiy. It seemed as if they didn't use pizza sauce per se, but something closer to stewed tomatoes which hadn't been completely cooked down into a sauce. No complaints on flavor, but because it was "lumpy", there were spots on the pizza without any tomato flavor. No big deal.
We ordered a large (18") pizza and a half-caraffe of the house red wine (~ 3 glasses), and got out of there for $29, including tax and tip. I'd say it was worth it, although I prefer a bit lighter crust in general. Salvation isn't NY-style, but it's a close cousin, and worth a visit if you're in the north campus area.
