Pizza is subjective.

True! And I could eat pizza every night of a week from a different restaurant and never feel like I'm eating the same thing every night.

But I think the goal here is the generally agreed-upon NYC pizza places...with definitive classic New York City style pizza. Unfortunately, I'm clueless as to what those places are.

It really is subjective...it's like asking "what's the best fuzz" :lol:

The big touristy ones that people recommend are probably John's Pizzera, Lombardi's, Grimaldis, or Sal and Carmines.
Coronet pizza up near Columbia is also pretty good and the slices are as big as your head.

i went to this pizza joint in new york the last time i was there. its near chinatown somehwere....apparently they still use coal ovens which are illegal now but they got grandfathered in and this old italian dude makes all the pizzas. i dont remember the name of it but ill ask my friend who took us there. it was dope.

I agree with this soooo much... I'd love to spend a big part of my life, like 20 years, living this way... it would probably end my life too but you wouldn't hear me complain.

If I was in New York I'd really want to try the style of NY pizza that you always see on tv shows... it's really thin, comes in really big slices, looks like it only has tomato sauce and a small amount of cheese on it.. You always see it on sitcoms and NY shows, the NY thin crust barely topped big slice!

I call this kind of pizza Ninja Turtles Pizza!
You know...the kind everyone's eating at the beginning of that one Ninja Turtles movie?

I'd avoid any fancy sit down places...
just walk up to any hole in the wall pizza place you can find with a few benches and discolored tables and order up a few slices of Ninja Turtle style pizza.

also, if it's within ten blocks of times square or penn station it's not going to be nearly as good as something from downtown brooklym.

I agree with this guy!

Lombardi's does coal fired pizza and was really good when I was there. You can check out entirely way too many reviews at sliceny.com and there is one place I want to go, that now I can't remember the name but Di Fara, it is known for its insane wait times and there's just one guy working making all the pizzas
