Otto is the first newcomer late-night pizza joint to give Noch’s a serious run for its money. If Noch’s is the common man’s pizza, Otto is its bourgeois younger brother, serving up thin and crispy slices of pizza with exotic flavor combos: think butternut squash, ricotta and cranberry, or pulled pork and mango. But the traditional thin crust (heavenly) and the high-tech savory slices will please even the most fanatic pizza purist. Slices run at $3 each; the location is better for Yardlings, or for a lunch on the go if you’re walking to the Quad, but probably won’t draw the casual River-dweller. The mashed potato, bacon, and scallion is an instant crowd-pleaser, but if you’re feeling more traditional try the tomato basil or sausage onion.
