Solo diners in business suits make up the lunch clientele at this run-of-the-mill deli and pizzeria, where the "deli" is a few bowls of marinated vegetables in a refrigerated case. Better to focus on the pizzas: The crusts are perfectly puffy (which makes the lackluster prosciutto on top easier to forgive). A caprese salad wins for using superb mozzarella; a meatball sandwich loses for being supremely dry. But trudge through to dessert anyway and take a Nutella gelato to the river for a potential Derrick Rose sighting (his front door is only a stone's throw away at Trump Tower.)
