Was walking on Leighton Road in Causeway Bay and noticed a woman at the street crossing with a paper bag flat in her hand from "Slices Pizzeria". Around about then I was pretty hungry and was thinking of what to eat. Seeing that bag solved the problem!
Slices is just one shop down from Yogo (it seems both are owned by the same people). Luckily I got there and ordered my pizza just before the St. Paul's Convent student lunch crowd invaded the store.
They had four huge 22" pies in the heat box - 4 Cheese, Hawaiian, Sausage and Mushroom, and 4 Seasons. I wanted to try something different, and ordered the 4 Seasons (tomato, mozzarella, artichoke, mushroom, ham, olives). It had me at olives.

Once you pick the slice they reheat it for you in the oven (which does cause a bit of a line with too many students). You can actually add toppings for $5 each. A slice of 4 Seasons is $32. Their cheapest slice is a Margherita for $25.
Perhaps I've been back in Hong Kong for a while now and haven't had good New York pizza for a while, but Slices will take care of that from now on! The crust is thin, crispy but chewy, not overloaded with sauce or toppings, and did I mention that I love olives? It could, however, use a little more salt (maybe hard to control with olives and artichokes), and I did sprinkle it liberally with Italian seasoning after I took the photos of the slice. Much better :)
They also take create-your-own orders for whole pies, and there are 14" and 18" pies as well. The place was filled with students because they give student group discounts as well as a student lunch deal - $34 for a slice plus a drink. Not bad.
