REVIEW: 
A pizza institution turns insti-three-tion! Denino’s, a Staten Island favorite since 1937, has opened two new locations including one of them smack dab in the heart of the nightlife-loving Greenwich Village. Fortunately, they brought the recipe for the crisp and sturdy crust pizza that made them famous. The crust is so good, I would eat just about anything you put on it. Speaking of which, I recommend the Garbage Pie. Layered with the perfect amount of hearty meats including homemade sausage, savory tomato sauce and tasty veggies, the Garbage Pie embodies the ideal supreme pizza that well known pizza chains strive so hard to imitate. There is nothing like the real thing and Denino’s proves it with every pie.  Other signatures include high quality ingredients full of flavor like broccoli rabe and clams. A word to the wise: eat it while it's still hot and before the clam juice threatens to soggify the perfectly crisp crust. Bring your family or a date. The prices might be a little more expensive than in Staten Island, but after you try it, I think we’ll all agree life is better with more Denino’s.
