My two favorite places for a thin-crust pizza are Niki's in Dobie Mall (very tasty NY style; maybe not quite as greasy as you're looking for) and Frank and Angie's on West just south of 6th.

Yeah, I love Niki's.  Cozzoli's isn't bad either . . . they're in several places around town.  Same with Lukas (Villa?) Pizza in Barton Creek Mall.  None of them are nearly as good as many pizzas I've had in New York City, but maybe the atmosphere (or lack thereof) is part of the problem!

Oh yeah, one other . . . Nick's Great Pizza out by Lake Travis. I think they're only open weekends.  Not bad.
