$5 Pizza Margherita at Totale Pizza

If you’re trying to get the most square inches of pizza per dollar possible, Totino’s Party Pizzas are probably your best bet. But if you’re looking for pizza made with real cheese (and doesn’t taste like cardboard), you should head down to St. Marks Place. Totale Pizza just opened up,
