We’re just sharing our opinion. Also, Neapolitan isn’t even our favorite type of pizza. Romano is what we prefer. It is a thinner crust than Neapolitan and actually quite similar to NY Pizza believe it or not!

I think the nostalgia for your neighborhood slice plays into our love of particular styles. The crackly crust is my favorite. I think it’s a texture thing. I’ve had pizza in Rome, Naples, and Laterza and pizza in Laterza made me feel most at home because it had the crunch. That said I love all pizza despite being lactose intolerant.

That may be unfair but that's what would happen. And most people would be ok with that criticism. So why are we surprised that people are calling these lovely folks out when it goes the other way.

after I started making my own pizza I definitely do not prefer the pizza I had growing up, then again it's mostly been fast food restaurant pizza, frozen pizza, Costco pizza, etc. fresh pizza is where it's at. thin crust, with softer middle cause that emphasizes the toppings/sauce way better than something that takes more effort to eat

It’s amazing you were even able to see the pizza with your nose so high in the air.

The crunchier (yet slightly bready) texture is one of the aspects that I enjoy about NYC style pizza. For example, I don't like the softer/liquid-y texture of a Neapolitan style pizza. Same dislike for the dough-ier type pizzas (Costco comes to mind).

I like Neopolitan and NYC almost equally but when I am in the mood for one the other will not do 😁

I found this pretty entertaining. I'm from New England (Connecticut) and when I was a kid growing up some of the local pizza shops we had were absolutely amazing. Unfortunately franchises like Dominos, Papa Johns and what not killed off most of the legit local pizza/grinder(sub's) shops. While I know this video is about finding the best pizza in NY, I'd suggest you both take a 1.5hr trip over to New Haven CT and try out Frank Pepe's/Sally's and Modern Apizza, New Haven was the home of a tool manufacture called "Sargent" and they hired many Italian immigrants to work in the factory way back in the day. Anyway long story short, large immigrant Italian community wants good food...a need arises and is fulfilled by local community members which results in the creation of the New Haven style pizza, which is adopted by near by neighbors (New York)....If you wanted to do a "How did Italian Pizza turn into NY style pizza?" you couldn't answer that question without going through New Haven. And perhaps I'm fundamentally biased but no slice of NY pizza has ever remotely compared to the lowest quality of slice of pizza I had CT (except for franchises).

Jessi's smile is so infectious and Alessio is adorable. Love you two♥️♥️

props to you for folding your slices. that's the test of a true New Yorker.

I'm guessing you guys are missing the point. NY pizzas are crusty normally so people can eat by folding them without making a mess. The floppy pizzas you have to sit and eat with fork and knife and that is not how New Yorkers eat.

Hello Brooklyn friend! We are loving NYC!

The place at 3:39 is a PATH station! That is the subway that takes you over to the NJ side of the river like Jersey City and Hoboken which has great pizza spots like Tony Boloney's (who has locations in both Hoboken and Jersey City) and Razza (by Grove Street PATH) Although I'm a New Yorker, my favorite style currently is DETROIT style because it has a thick crust that is crispy and chewy, and the sauce goes on top of the cheese. Detroit style also has an interesting story. Detroit-style was invented in 1946 at a place called Buddy's by Gus Guerra. He wanted something new for the menu at Buddy's and sought the help of his Sicilian mother. She gave him a dough recipe, but he wanted something to make it special, he wanted a high-sided pizza pan. Detroit is famous for the car industry, and while others looked at blue steel utility trays used at the Motor City’s auto assembly plants and saw only nuts, bolts, and thingamajigs...he envisioned a Sicilian-like deep-dish pizza. In NYC, a great spot that has Detroit style is Lions & Tigers & Squares on W 23rd Street in Chelsea!

Yikes. My relatives from Sicily love the pizza here in NY. Your opinion is your opinion though, I highly respect one's opinion. I also rate Neopolitan pizzas very high compared to NY style, but there are some great NY style places out there that you haven't been to yet. You went to the tourist traps. Those slices did look dry. I always wait for a fresh pie or at least one that hasn't been out long. A reheat at Joe's helps crisp it up. But to say that those slices you tried are available anywhere in the country; that I cannot agree with. BTW, try the place Mama's Too! It's in the upper west side. The cachio e pepe square is to die for.

Well done episode! I wonder if your pizza style preference and experience is Neapolitan style making it difficult to differentiate among the New York slice style like Joe's. I prefer the thin, crisp crust style having grown up in New York and have a difficult time judging Neapolitan stye pizzas which mostly taste the same to me. See if you can make it to NY Pizza Suprema which might strike the right balance for you.

I don't think it's fair to send anyone off to one of Chicago's famous deep-dish locations (Pequods, Giordanos, Ginos East, Lou Malnati's) with the expectation they are getting something they'd consider a "Pizza" . It's more of a tomato pie as in chicken pot pie but with pizza ingredients, even the crust feels more like a pie crust than it does pizza crust or what I'd consider "Standard deep dish style" (I.E. detroit style). It is certainly an experience, and waiting 20-40 min for a personal sized pizza gives you time to knock back a few drinks but it's a thing people in Chicago only do when family/friends are visiting, or some other rare special occasion. Most prefer NY style pizzas or "Pub style". My favorite slice in Chicago was from Piece pizza which does new haven style pizza with local ingredients (like Hot Dougs atomic sausage pizza or Honey Butter fried chicken/Piece pizza colab). Knocking back a slice of NY style pizza is easy... Knocking back a slice of even a personal sized Chicago Deepdish pizza is like eating a large chunk of pie or cake and the pie/cakes core is hovering around the "Scold your tongue" scale of "Your taste buds will take months to return, and Do they make burn cream for tongues?".

I think they needed to eat slices from fresh pies since they prefer a softer texture (would probably need a knife and fork though). Each time, they were getting re-heated slices that were left in the oven too long. When I get a re-heated slice, I always tell them, "Not too hot." That way, it doesn't get too "toasted" and crack when you fold it. It's like when you toast bread for 30 seconds versus 3 minutes.

I find that the sauce flavor is better when I ask for "not too hot". That being said, Joe's pizza should be pretty fresh even if you order a single slice since they go through a lot of pizza.

Pizza taste is what makes you happy. When I attended school in the 1970s, they served us a pizza slice made in a factory that was shaped like a rectangle. You know what?

The best NY pizza will have a strong crisp to their crust. However, the issue with slices is that most of them are from pizzas that were previously made and then put in a display case to be heat up when someone wants one or 2. So sometimes the slice you get is from a pie thats been sitting out for maybe an hour and thats just never going to be as good as a fresh pie. Granted, the flavor will not change very much, but the texture will. The dough will be more crispy rather than like a cracker, and the pizza will be less dried out. This is why for my money, Lucali and Johns of Bleecker will be the best pizza in the city, they dont do slices. Its only pies, so everything is fresh. You order, sit at a table and it comes piping hot out of the oven. Hopefully you guys try those places next time you visit!

I think you's just don't like the crust/dough in New York style pizza, it's too crispy and not soft enough for you's. I personally really like that crispiness and texture.

I've seen Milan style pizza which honestly reminds me of Costco pizza a little(😰) I've seen salerno style pizza which is like neopolitan but has a crispier crust, that looks good too.

They are implicitly comparing Neapolitan with New York style. The thing they don’t like is the very thing that makes it what it is. Like saying you don’t like water because it’s wet. Crispy crust and low moisture mozzarella aren’t there by accident, incompetence, or cultural inferiority; they are there because the makers and clients like it that way. Pizza no longer belongs solely to Italy; and pizza is not better if it tastes more Italian.

There is more than one way to fold. For NY style, I keep my index finger inside the fold, the crust edge will crack but the rest should remain intact. Also, the first half of the slice is consumed in a single layer while the remainder is eaten doubled not unlike a sandwich.

You did go to two of my go-to’s (Bleecker St and Joe’s) which are in my personal top ten, but are personally not at my number one. My number one for a slice is Artistic Pizza on W 4th Street, and I know a place in Brooklyn on Ave J that does one of the best margarita slices I have ever had in my life (and some New Yorkers will tell you to go south to Brooklyn for pizza.). But my number one is Artistic Pizza. I have Bleecker St at number 5 and Joe’s at number 4. Definitely try Lombardi’s-I think y’all will like it. It is a larger pizza than you are used to but reminded me of Italian pizza. I had their margarita-expensive yet worth it. There is a really good pizza shop in Chelsea’s Market that aims to do Italian pizza. I know the owner-he’s from Italy. He was a regular at where I used to work in Chelsea’s Market. The slice is expensive ($6 and some are $10), but I think the next time you are in NYC, go there. It is called Filaga and is on my personal list of where to get authentic Italian pizza in NYC. However, now that I live in NYC and have been to Italy, and have eaten pizza in Boston, no more Pizza Hut nor chain pizzerias for me. I have to eat NYC pizza, authentic Italian pizza or Boston style (which is like NYC pizza). I am sure you tasted a difference in NYC pizza to major pizzeria chains.

Hey guies! I highly recommend you two fly to Chicago and visit the Giordano's deep dish pizza place. They have one next to the Lincoln Park Zoo. There's lots to see and do in Chicago! The pizza has awesome chunks of homemade sausage and the crust is deep but very light and sooo delicious!!

It'd be better if you gave more explanations for your scores. Explain why you gave the scores you did. Was it the crust, texture, cheese, sauce? What makes an ideal pizza slice for you?

First off I am just now finding yall. And I must say, yall are great and keep up the good work. Second have yall ever tried Chicago pizza (deep dish) if not yall should. Anyway I love yall and your channel

I love your pizza reviews

So glad to see you met Scott. I have watched a lot of his videos.

Thank you. Loved to watch you try them all. Sorry we did not strike gold. Can not wait for the full pie. Oh that will likely take you awhile, 2 a week or something.

You guys walked right past my building at the beginning! Too bad I did not see you to say hello! New York pizza used to be so good. I plan to try Eatealy now, after seeing your review..As for me, here is nothing better than the pizza in Naples! Could eat it everyday. Enjoy the rest of your trip!.

As somebody who grew up eating New York style pizza, I'm offended that you called it "Bowling Alley Pizza" that can be found anywhere in America because I grew up and have moved all over the Midwest since. I can assure you that bad NY Pizza is still leagues above Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado pizza (especially from bowling alleys.) Now I want you to try and find the best and worst pizza in every State for a video series. Lighthearted and loving critic.

When I go to nyc I always have to go to prince st. The square slice is amazing

Yup, square with spicy pepperoni (salame).

Bowling Alley and Skating Ring pizza, my favorites….LOL. I love Chicago’s Pizza, but my fav is Detroit Style! Great vid!

Honestly next time I would love to hear some commentary/guidelines on the intro as to what you two think makes a good slice (or anything else you are rating, i.e. how are you judging?), because I, for one, do like that your take on what that is, seems so totally different than what I would think for example, and to me that's part of the fun (guess not everyone likes that), of trying to answer the age old question that will clearly never have an answer (except for personal opinion) yet who's gonna say no to trying more pizza? 😋

Your barometer for judging NY slices is insanely off. You say you’re not comparing to pizza you’ve had in Italy but you really are and we all know it’s not the same thing. The fact that you compared some of the most well known nyc slices to bowling alley pizza is an absolute insult.

It's a way beyond ridiculous statement. Do they even have pizza ovens in roller rinks and bowling alleys?

What a lovely soul to give you tour and to invite you over ❤❤❤

You guys have to get to De Lorenzo's in Robbinsville, NJ (near Trenton) - had pizza all over and that one is worth the drive out there!!!

I agree with you both...the thing is that all of my favorite places have closed as the authentic Italian owners have retired. I have tried all over NYC. I went to Scarsdale in Westchester and found one good one near the Metro North Station.

Lucali is the best NY in my opinion

You guys need to.go to Brooklyn... they have some of the best pizza in NYC... specifically a place called Lucalis. Also you should do an episode where you go to New Haven, CT and try their pizza. They are known for some of the best pizza in the Country.

yup. I tried to respect the scoring but I cant. especially after this video. wow

Scott wiener uses a laser thermometer to check the heat of his pizza before biting like a true New Yorker and pizza aficionado

There's a large Georgian community in New York City. I think you guys might enjoy the food.

I’m from Long Island.. some good mom and pop pizzerias… however, I was in cinque Terre and had the most amazing pizza EVER!

I just went to New York, Neapolitan is still my favorite. Angelo’s coal oven doesn’t do slices, but I liked their pizza.

We will have to try Angelo’s in our full pie video!

I'm not from NY, but I think you guys should give it another chance. There are SOOO many options, out there, and it can be intimidating. My dream is to go to all the places that Frank Pinello went to on The Pizza Show.

Yous are crazy! Bleeker St. is the best! You have to try their Nona Pizza next time! Lol Thank you for the amazing Content! I love yas!

(#231) I really enjoy your videos... when you go to Chicago stop in at LaVilla's and taste their food... it has been a staple for 50 years!!!

Thank you!! Chicago is definitely on our list!

Fan of Scott Weiner here, it was a really cool surprise for you to cross paths unintentionally like that

The last one looked best to me. I like it crispy n thin

If Ray's that was on spring st was still open 🥰💕🥰💞👌🏽

Hi I love your videos so great. Can you do one on what is the best commercial Panettone to buy. There are so many and it’s so confusing. Is there a really great Panettone in NYC. Signed very confused New Yorker 😊

Glad they hit Ribalta, second only to Una Pizza. Once you have those slices, especially the truffle, there are few others to even consider.

Hi guys, great content. It would be great if you guys would be in the Pocono area and try out wood fired pizza from Ringside Fire Grill, in Tafton PA, very very special pizza and place.

Alessio: "Your 5th cousins doesn't even know each other." That's funny.

Joe’s Pizza is absolutely amazing to me! The best pizza on the planet is whatever tastes best to your individual palette. There is no way a self proclaimed food critic could ever tell me what food I would personally enjoy the most until I taste it myself. I am also honestly not really a big fan of Neapolitan styled pizza because it is quite soggy, paper thin, way too saucy, tangy, sour, doesn’t hold its toppings, and it has absolutely no crunch for me. So, the last person who could ever fairly judge a New York slice would be a Neapolitan pizza snob. But, that’s not to say it wouldn’t be a good tasting pizza for someone else. I have traveled all around the world and I honestly found New York Pizza to be the very best!

Take a daytrip to New Haven CT That place is pizza heaven

You guys have to go to Brooklyn for pizza 🍕

It’s funny how we all like our crust differently.
