Pizza in Long Island City

I'm getting married next weekend, at a place in Long Island City. We're doing the whole sit-down meal thing, but after people have been drinking and dancing for a while, we wanted to get pizza delivered so that people have something to munch on when they're heading home (or just to soak up the alcohol).

So what I'm looking for is:

a) great pizza in or around LIC
b) the ability to deliver about 25 pizzas at about 11.15pm
and c) great pizza (again)

As you can see from my user name, I'm new to these parts, so any suggestions would be welcome. I did scroll through some of the "pizza in Queen's" threads, but sadly didn't see any LIC suggestions. Although to be honest, my geographic knowledge isn't yet what it needs to be...

And yes, we should have organized this some time ago, but hey, who wants to be the kind of person who sorts their wedding eighteen months before the event?!

Thanks for your help!

    first off, congrats on the nuptials -- hope all goes swimmingly!

    as far as pizza delivery, i'm thinking that 11-ish is a little on the late side for most places in the area, but a couple places that spring to mind are:

    Sac's at Broadway/Crescent, which is one of my fall back options, and seldom disappoints. they do enough volume that they'd likely be able to swing a 25 pie order with enough notice. give a ring at (718) 204-5002

    Bella Via at Vernon Blvd/47th ave. a bit more upscale, excellent thin crust pies with a few interesting topping choices as well as a fine margherita (my choice, as a rule). they say they close at 10:30 on weekends, but for alarge order, they might make an exception? try them at (718) 361-7510

        I would throw manetta's into the mix-- definitely over Sac's anyhow Manetta's is wood burning oven, Bella Via is coal I believe. Both good but different

        They are open till 11 on weekends, and any of them would probably stay open late to do another 20 pies or so--
