Old time Greenpoint resident here. Will only comment on the slice joints.
Pauli Gee has a very good pizza (slice joint) at a reasonable price. $3.50. Two places not mentioned Italy and Russ have a very good pizza for $3. Franklin is inexpensive, I liked it, but other people told me it was too salty.
Another Old Time Greenpoint resident and you forgot about other great pizza.
