It’s hard to find a single slice of pizza these days. Many restaurants want us to buy a whole pie or do without.

But South Florida still has enough single-slice joints to keep lone pizza lovers satisfied. After the Sun Sentinel printed a list of pizzerias that still sell slices, readers pointed out there were even more than those we originally compiled.

So here are additional sites, in Broward and Palm Beach counties, where you can get a single piece at a decent price. It’s reassuring to know we can still go out and eat this classic comfort food, New York-, Sicilian- or Detroit-style, without having to splurge on a whole pie that serves eight.

BROWARD COUNTY

Bob’s Pizza & Amante’s Italian Cuisine , 2068 NE Second St., Deerfield Beach; 954-426-1030; bobspizzafl.com/menu

A slice goes for $4, plus 50 cents or 75 cents extra for toppings. Reader Larry Kerman of Hillsboro Beach recommended Bob’s slices for their old-school simplicity: “I grew up in Brooklyn and love traditional New York City thin slices, usually with just plain cheese. A really good cheese slice doesn’t need anything else. Needs to be a little oily, and most importantly the crust needs to be able to be folded in half without the tip of the slice flopping down.”

Two slices and a soda will set you back $7. There’s also a $9.95 special that includes a slice, salad, soup and soda. Bruce Berger of Tamarac said he’s a regular patron: “Mannino’s is like a New York pizzeria — enter the restaurant, go to the counter and order slices. They have a couple of tables where you can sit to eat your pizza; you don’t have to sit in the restaurant side of the facility (although you could and order slices from there). The slices are simple and well-prepared — cheese, sauce and crust, baked perfectly. What more do you need?”

Mizrachi’s Pizza Kitchen , 5650 Stirling Road, Hollywood; 954-505-3190; mizrachispizzakitchen.com

This kosher eatery offers a $4.69 “Big Slice” and a $4.99 Sicilian slice, with additional charges for toppings and extra cheese. According to Joel Katz of Hollywood: “They sell by the slice and various sizes of pies, which makes it convenient if you just want to swing by for one or two slices. They even double-cut the slices when asked.”
