Cititour Review:

This Upper West Side staple has been a Columbia University hangout for generations: those who seek great pizza and real New York Italian won't be disappointed.

Unlike many pizza joints in New York, you won't find pizza by the slice here, so round up a couple of friends and split a pie with sausage and onion (15.25). You won't find the trendy thin-crust here: it's the same pie with generous sauce and cheese that they've been serving for years. Try a fork and knife if you like, or do as the locals do, and simply fold your slice in half as you eat.

The tossed salad (4.50) is simple iceberg and vegetables with a red wine vinaigrette—nothing to write home to, perhaps, but the ingredients are fresh, and those accustomed to Italian-American food will recognize the loyalty to the old-style New York Italian style.

Overlook the pasta dishes—they're nothing compared to the pizza, but the veal parm (20) is covered with zesty sauce (take some home for $5) and a generous amount of melted mozzarella.

If you're looking for a high-priced, high-class joint, look elsewhere, but if you don't mind getting to know the people at your neighbor tables and possibly dribbling a bit of delicious melted cheese down your front, V&T is the place to be.
