Agree about Terrone being a better choice than Napoletana, mainly because it's setting is much livelier and they have an outside patio for those who would prefer to escape the inside noise. Pizza at Napoletana is good, if you like Naples style, however salads are bland and atmosphere is staid, quiet, dark, not at all impressive for your needs.
We tried Blue Line for the first time this past weekend. Ordered both a deep dish and a thin crust. Although our preference is thin crust, we were happiest with our deep dish cornmeal choice w/sausage and mushrooms. Toppings were fresh tasting and plentiful, with large chunks of tomato and sausage. We weren't as happy with the thin crust. No char and the one we ordered, the white, was mostly an overdose of cheese with a few slices of zucchini and garlic. Little flavor, not worth the calories, so stopped after one piece. I would have gladly eaten more of the deep dish however my dining companions had eliminated that option, happily gobbling it up. Inside seating is dark, yet outside on Castro St. would provide entertainment for the relatives and a gelato across the street could cap off the evening.
