I lived in NYC. The way I figure it, that gives me instant credibility on life's essential topic of pizza. So, if I told you I have driven 20 minutes to get a slice of this bagel crust pizza, you know it is amazing.

First there's the bagel crust--firm to support globs of veggies, shrimp, four cheeses, olives, shitake mushrooms, oysters, tequila lime chicken--you name it! Crusts are trimmed in typical bagel fare--sesame, poppy, onion, garlic or plain. Sauces? Alfredo, olive pesto, garlic pesto, and tomato.

Abbot's has done the work for you in coming up with great, unique combinations; five onion, the greek, the four way (w/ red onion, peppers, mushrooms and four cheeses w/ olive pesto), cheeseless veggie, the gypsy pie, meat eaters, cheese bomb, popey's chicken and athens pie. Each of these gourmet pies is $16 for 16' or $12.50 for 12'. Make your own pie for $12.50 or $9.50. Add toppings for anywhere from $.50 to $1.50 based on the size of pie. Choose from 34. Slices are $2.50 each w/ toppings $.50 each.

Abbot's offers salads. I've never seen one ordered, so I can't tell you about them. There's a selection of non-alcoholic beverages.

The shop is small, clean, and busy w/ friendly, quick service. (These guys love making pizza!)Abbot's delivers nearby. Call to check your address. But a visit is worth it to read the chalk-board classifieds and the article in which scientists report you can survive on a deserted island eating only pizzas.

If those pizzas were Abbot's, the island wouldn't be deserted for long!
