I had Bleeker street pizza last summer while visiting New York City for the first time. I had the Nonna Maria slice along with a beer! It was so good , I ordered another slice along with a beer. All I can say is that I know what heaven is like. BTW the crust was perfectly crispy. I am returning this summer on two different trips and will be returning with my girlfriend on one trip and my daughters on the other. Everyone has heard go on about the pizza! I will probably try another pizza place while in New York just so I can compare them. After an 8 hour drive to New York City who could resist a slice of perfection.

Hey great video..just wondering have you ever been at Royalton Bavaro Resort in Punta Cana?

I'm only 8 minutes in but that Nonna Maria slice looks so delicious! Having lived in the tri-state area for so many years, I have had a lot of great pizza that I can tell just by looks that a slice is going to be sublime, great, good, mediocre, ot not worth eating. I have become a huge fan or Margherita, Neopolitan, and Grandma slices because they have so much more flavor, but often exceed $4 per slice, whereas many good pizza slices are usually $2.15-$2.50 outside of NYC.

A friend and I went to John’s almost 20 years ago? We thought it was good but far from the best. We loved Difara’s before the master passed away and the ambience was non existent but that was a great slice. Definitely one of the best.

John's of Bleecker is my favorite. I did Bleeker St and the 2 coal fires who's names escape me now and John's hands down the best in America.

You music bed is an absolute earworm. Old-timey ragtime!

Great pizza requires all 3 elements to be quality and properly rendered. That being said crust is crust and cheese is cheese ( not saying a good pizzeria should serve raw dough and resin cheese) .It's the sauce that makes a legendary pizza in concert with a well charred/ prepared crust, and quality cheese. Not 100% impressed with either pizza.

Can't wait to try

This is why Bleecker Street Pizza is my favorite of the ones I've had. Ever. I haven't had Lucali. I haven't had Di Fara. The last time I was in NY, I wasn't able to make it to Brooklyn. But I did hit up Bleecker Street and John's of Bleecker (among a few others) and I very much preferred Bleecker Street over John's. That crust is just unlike anything else I've ever had. Crisp, but not too hard. It's like a cracker almost. It was amazing. UA didn't like that about it, but I felt that that's what MADE it. I did have 2 Nonna Maria slices, though, and not the regular cheese slice. Still, mmmmm, I highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in Manhattan. John's is great too, of course!

That's the thing about some pizza places I don't like. They put on the tiniest amount of sauce because they think that is what a pizza should taste like. I'm not saying so much sauce it drips. Just enough that you taste some in every bite.

To my taste Bleeker Street’s quality took somewhat of a hit after the expansion a few years back. The Nonna Maria is still a great slice but once upon a time was really sensational. For my money the best slice in Manhattan may very well be the Spicy Spring at Prince Street Pizza.

The thinness is needed for a coal oven

After eating pizza in Italy, there’s nothing better.

I'm going to presume that they use part skim mozz and add Munster... Shhhh 🤐 Okay for real. If you're a pizza maker just try it. That's my base. The problem with whole mozz is not just the richness but the way that it stretches. Munster stretches perfectly for pizza and unlike mozz keeps a good profile after the first melt meaning it's still good when cooled down. That's not even mentioning the flavor profile that's adds that little bit of "mmm what's that"... Well, it's salt BUT... Well, some may just have a custom cheese but if you can't do that what I suggested will be the same, when if a bit more expensive.

15:20 John's uses Stanislaus 7/11 tomatoes and Polly-O whole milk mozzarella. I guess it's possible they add sugar to their tomato sauce, but I'd guess it's straight from the can.

Howard Stern threw Artie Lange a party at John’s for his birthday. Sal put sauce on Scott Depaces bald head. What a night!!

Is John’s Bleecker Street part of the same chain of johns of Times Square?

Take it from a New Yorker from Brooklyn, there's no such thing as the best pizza spot in New York.

I give it you this is the best pizza review. I am not a fan of yours as in any means but I am a pizza fan. The Bleecker street pizza looks tons better.

I had a very mediocre experience at John’s, whereas I had consistently good slices (which John’s doesn’t even offer) from Bleecker St. on many a night out. It’s inexcusable that John’s would use inferior ingredients for a presumably higher (or at least comparable, considering no slices) price. That’s what branding/tourist money does.

how would I contact you to visit a pizzeria restaurant in philly?

I’m late to the party on this but comparing a slice place to a sit down place is not apples to apples! Those slices are obviously reheated, so you’re gonna lose something in the crust! Very rarely will you benefit from slices right out of the oven. Should probably compare slice places to other slice places. Great vid nonetheless!
