Ville Monte
732 Old Bethpage Rd, Old Bethpage, NY 1180(I posted review on this place last March but still in business and still very good)
Although some people order pies for takeout, their claim to fame is the selection of single slices on display from the perhaps 30 different topping configurations at lunch time. Be aware that although the long lines at lunch time may look intimidating, they move fast.
ps. while you're in the area stop in at Bottles and Values next door for large selection of booze and wine at really good prices. You need to be on their email list (they will not swamp your inbox) for their discount pricing and occasional discount coupons sent out at various calendar events (last one was "we refund your sales tax" for April 15th-17th". I left with 2 different Irish Whiskey bottles after sampling them at their sample counter (usually poured by 1 of 2 MILFs in black evening dresses).

Emillios, back in the day Carmellas and Branchinellis in Commack LI has some good pie. Square and round.
I will respectfully have to disagree. I've been going there on and off for thirty years and I think they have consistently had some of the best pizza on Long Island. I don't know if their tomato sauce is home-made or not, but it might as well be, sweet and perfectly spiced. The cheese is excellent, the slices not dripping with oil. And the crust is always properly baked, firm and delicious, never limp or soggy. As far as the kids taking over, I see the original owner from over 30 years ago still behind the counter and, once again, I haven't noticed the quality of their product having declined. Remember, aside from a salad, pizza is all that you can buy there, so they have to make it well or they wouldn't have survived and kept thriving for more than three decades.
I'm really quite surprised that since I mentioned Colosseo, the few replies have been negative, yet the place is always busy and I know it remains a favorite of many locals who have plenty of other other pizza joints to choose from. I guess, like picking an escort, YMMV, everyone's taste is a little different and, based on that, there's no right or wrong. Everyone seems to have their favorite and this place remains mine.
