any way you slice it - View this location on map 'locals usually delight in dissing all things yale, but for some reason they defer to new haven when it comes to pizza. there's really no need. the patrons lining up for one of the 35 seats at emma's (617-864-8534) say it slings the best pies in the northeast, with crackling, wafer-thin crusts; about 30 interesting, but not-too-outr toppings; and the ideal crust-sauce-cheese ratio. a large with goat cheese, basil, thyme-roasted mushrooms and roasted tomatoes will set you back $18. for some heat, try one with rosemary sauce, hot cherry peppers and italian sweet sausage ($14.50).''
