We still need your vote to crown the winner but in the meantime, here's a "slice" of what makes this pizzeria so DVlicious.

Voting is open until May 22 so go here to cast your ballot. The other candidates will be featured daily with another profile Friday.

ReNapoli Pizzeria & Chicago Italian Beef, 216 Sound Beach Ave., Old Greenwich, (203) 698-9300

How Long in Business: Five years.

Known For: Wood-fired Napoletana pizza.

Most Popular Slice Sold: Margherita pies. Popeye's White with ricotta, parmigiana, mozzarella, and fresh spinach also ranks high.

Key to Success: The pizzeria, with a large wood-fire oven from Italy, offers a variety of crusts and takes it dough very seriously. The menu, in fact, explains the difference between them. Options include New York style (a little thicker, crispier crust), Romano-style (looks like Sicilian but with a fluffier dough) and the ultra-thin Napoletana. "We only use the freshest, highest quality ingredients," said Manager John Marleku.
