Can 2 brothers sample pizza in each of NYC's 5 boros in one day?
This is not a "best pizza slice in each borough" video. Any attempt at that would have forced us to go to places that would not work out logistically. So we tried to balance quality, experience, and the logistics of covering so much territory in one day.
We set out with simple rules:
1) At least one slice each in a pizza place in each of the five NYC boroughs.
[We knew that at least one place would include a grandmother slice in addition to a regular slice, so 10-12 total.]
2) Public transportation and walking only. No taxis, Ubers, hitchhiking, police helicopters, etc.
3) Only "classic" New York slices, and maybe a grandmother slice. No full pies, no "house specials," not even simple toppings.
4) Start and finish in the general vicinity of Columbus Circle.
So could we do it?
Watch to find out.

Errata: Williamsburg Bridge, not Manhattan Bridge. Too much editing time, too little thinking...

Further details:
To make it work, two of the places were right under elevated trains, adjacent to the stations. Others were within a block or two of a station, sometimes multiple stations. One of the places we originally planned around had closed shortly before we shot the video and we had to adjust on the fly. The logistics, combined with the desire to not have pizza for breakfast or keep going until midnight, limited options. So if you're looking for the best pizzas in each borough, as determined by somebody with a KZread presence, there are plenty of such lists out there. We will not favor any one person's list. Maybe someday we'll make one of our own, but this isn't it.
Most of my content here is adventure, but I'm a New Yorker by birth and vocation. My brother and I have both been away for a while for work, and are both in the process of moving back, so we wanted to explore a bit just for fun. A lot of this is just us rambling around on subways all day long. The pizza is an excuse. But it's also really, really good compared to Seattle and Uruguay.

I visited New York and met an Italian guy from Rome. He said "it's been my life's dream to visit New York."

Great video! This answers my previous question to you, Mike, about which places you went to. BTW, when you were on the M, you typed “going across the Manhattan Bridge” - nope; you crossed on the Williamsburg Bridge.

Ugh. Yes.
I will probably never be welcomed in the USA but watching you both stroll around and enjoy these slices made me feel like I was right there with you two. Thanks for that!

Sorry for this country's immigration policies, but glad you could enjoy it. I'll be doing some more in Canada in the next couple of months, so possibly I'll do something in a place where you can go.
Enjoy your food brothers! Nice content I got this video suggested from youtube, keep it going Champ!

I think my brother choosing to wear Mets gear to the Bronx was a mistake, but we survived so it's OK.

John's doesn't do slices and our rule for the day was regular slices only. They make great pizza, though.
boroughs not boros
