The Best Slice 2011

1.) Mack's Pizza - Avg: 4.25

We apologize for this first-time cliche, but at the end of the day, Mack's Pizza tore it up in 2011. A beautiful blend of sauce and cheese with a perfect sprinkling of exceptionally delicious spice made this slice just right. Seriously, just try it.

Best Bang for Your Buck

PPR (Points Per Price Ratio) = Overall Rating / Price

1. Santino's Pizza - Value Rating (PPR) = 3.5

Almost every year, Santino's competes not only for the Best Value slice, but also the Best Overall slice on the boards. 2011's land slide victory is a walk in the park for the North / Central bridging pizza parlor, whose $1 slice and 3.5 taste rating make it an easy decision for any value-minded beach-goer.

2: Mack's Pizza - PPR: 1.89
3: Franconi's Pizza - PPR: 1.88
4: Little Nicky's - PPR: 1.86
