The dough boys behind Dough Boys—best friends and prominent chefs Jimmy Bannos Sr. and Scott Harris—wanted the pizza joint next to their restaurant Salatino’s to be a simple, unfussy slice shop. And that's exactly what it is: a place where the meatball sandwich is soft (both the meatballs and the roll), the New York–style slices are big and foldable, and a thick Sicilian slice is substantial enough to be a meal in itself. It may be a disappointment to those who come expecting the Boys to work some of their chef magic. But to those unaware of their pedigrees, it's as satisfying as any other cheap pizza around.
