That's it. Just plain old pizza. I used to get it in Yonkers or the Bronx. Just any corner pizza place would do. Plain old cheese (mozzarella, of course) or maybe a couple of slices of pepperoni and that's it! It should be piping hot and greesy.
If you are stuck in manhatten and have to buy a slice of pizza, it can be done. Just don't go to anyplace named Ray's, Original, Authentic, New York Style, etc. Anyplace else will do. If you can't find it, go over to Brooklyn or the Bronx and get the real stuff.
You can keep your tofu-barf California or Chicaaaaga style pizza.
Don't get me started with the pizza thing.
There were three shops in a row along the Concourse that had intermittent price wars. All three were fine.
New York brick oven with puffy, chewy edges and a lightly crisp bottom, made with somebody's great-great-grandmother's family pizza sauce recipe brought from the old country. I like Greek and California styles too, particularly Thai, but New York pizza is even better than it is in Italy.
I'm thinking that's New HAVEN (CT) pizza you're talking about.
New York style...which is Trenton style too.
Trenton is famous for it's Tomato Pies..cheese on the bottom crushed plums on the top.
thin crust is a must...that 'Play-Doh' looking crust is Wack.
I voted "other" because my favorite is thin-crust. I never order anything else, though I'm sure if I were in NY I'd enjoy their big slices. I had a seafood pizza in Venice that was practically cracker-like, with no cheese but huge pieces of shrimp, squid, etc. sitting on top. I just loved it.
Sigh. Here we go again. Yes, they are pizza - they are not "cakes", and I'm getting more than a little tired of people who don't particularly like it getting insulting about it - some of us DO like it, and it most certainly is pizza! Can we please not do this? It's rude, and it's unnecessary. And it's getting really old. I don't insult New York "style" food, please don't insult MY hometown food.
Personally, I prefer a cracker thin crust for every day, but Chicago Style has it's place too - I have one in the freezer right now, as a matter of fact. That's comfort food. And while most people I know from this area that have moved away usually eat thin crust in their new locations, when they want a taste of Chicago pizza they get the deep dish Chicago Pizza delivered via mail order, frozen - Lou Malnati's or Gino's. My mom, in Arizona, is a very good example - that and Eli's Cheesecake are her favorite gifts, and what reminds her of home.
