Xtra Chz249 Sheep Davis Road, 856-8830 Taste: 3.5Variety: 3Size: 3.5 Comments: This was a good – not great – slice. Nothing about it stood out. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s right down the middle. 0

Vinnie's Pizzaria200 S. Main St., 224-7727 Taste: 5Variety: 4.5Size: 4.5 Comments: Just a little smaller than Sal’s, but such a delicious slice! Perfect cheese-browning technique, a crunchy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside crust and a light, flavorful sauce make for an excellent lunch. 0

Dallas Pizza156 N. State Street, 226-4272 Taste: 3Variety: 3Size: 3 Comments: We got to Dallas right at the end of lunchtime, which might explain the borderline stale slice we received. If it had been fresh, it probably would have been all right, but it wasn’t, so it was mediocre.   0

Constantly Pizza39 S. Main St., 224-9366 and 108 FIsherville Road, 227-1117 Taste: 4.5Variety: 5Size: 4 Comments: Traditional style. It had a thin bottom crust but a fluffy “holding area.” The slice we had was billed as “cheese,” but could have easily passed for “extra cheese.” 0
