Shite. How about Sylvia's pizza on the downtown mall in Charlottesville. That's close to the paragon.

Vinny's New York Pizza & Pasta in Ruckersville, VA (on the way to Charlottesville) is pretty close.  It's run by a family that moved down from NY about 10-15 years ago.

Not sure if these have been mentioned in this thread yet, but don't forget Marcello's on Connecticut Ave in Chevy Chase and Zio's on Gaither Road in Gaithersburg/Rockville. Both Italian style, not NY, but my faves in the area.
