It was calamari pizza. Lol. I was really skeptical at first, but I love calamari and I love pizza, why not try them together 😂 and it actually turned out pretty great! I do wish I had more tbh.

I don’t know why, but for some reason I imagine the best pizza can be found in Chicago (think-deep dish pizza). I could be wrong, and I’ve never even been to Chicago but when I go I plan on making it part of my mission to find the ultimate pizza while I’m there.
Am I right about this, or is that not a thing that Chicago is known for?

Oof that slice of calamari, need that in my life. Like you was super skeptical when I saw it (nothing like that here in FL) but I loved it.

There’s a place near me that does a white clam pizza. My buddy always said it was one of his faves and I thought he was a weirdo for it, clams on pizza?? Finally tried it and it’s great, I split it with him now lol

I can see it. I like crunchy crackers in my clam chowder. I like linguini and clams in a white sauce. I like all of the individual ingredients, it stands to reason I'd like the end product, if unusual format.

Lucali is the textbook definition of perfect pizza. Luigi’s in Brooklyn isn’t far off! I fly to NY from DFW just to eat these two. So great!

This is tourist pizza or whatever I’m drunk and it’s nearby pizza.

Hipster pizza in nyc is incredible. Some of the best spots are in what most people would call hipster neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Eh, I tried several recommended places to get NYC pizza (in Manhattan). Nothing special, just pizza. The bagels on the other hand, lived up to the hype. Don't know how a bagel can be that good, but they are.

Best pizza in NYC is Bravo Kosher Pizza on 6th Ave between 34th & Broadway. That one doesn’t serve any meat toppings because it’s kosher but the pizza is fucking amazing! Anyone been there ?

Oh don’t get me wrong, there’s some terrrrrible pizza over here too. But it’s getting easier to get fantastic traditional pizza, I live in the arse end of nowhere but have two amazing pizza places within 15 mins drive.

competition, as you probably noticed bagel shops are all over. With NYC rents being what they are a place that sells a shitty bagel wont last long in the city as the customers will just walk over to the other place that has better bagels. It's just natural selection that the only bagel places that stay in business are the ones who make a good bagel.

Latvia t1_iudjh5k wrote

Replying to ralphy1010 (#344,820)

I don't think that's what I mean. It's probably true. But what I mean is that NYC bagels are FAR superior to any bagel I've had anywhere else in the country, at any time.

If you happen to be in NYC and find yourself in midtown Manhattan, Sacco pizza on 9th ave. and 54th st. is actual NY pizza. It's not in a tourist area and is a place locals get pizza from. If you also want to have an amazing chicken cutlet salad, go to Luigi's on 8th ave. between 54th and 55th st. These places are packed at lunchtime with construction workers, cops and people that work in the neighborhood. I worked in Midtown for over 30 years and these were regular lunch and dinner spots for me and most of the people I worked with.

Good to know! I wish we researched more before coming to NY for places to try so we had more options. This one is pretty good though, we’re pretty happy with that place. I told my husband that we should go visit NY again on our 10th year anniversary and maybe stay longer than 4 days.

I mean if your in ny then yea I guess it’s ny pizza… but margherite and calamari slices aren’t typical ny slices, either way enjoy. Get a regular slice or pie from John’s of bleecker street for the best ny pizza

Not really. The circumstance you described exists in a lot of places at a lot of times. NY bagels are better despite other places having the same situation. And on the flip side, the circumstances change. Even when competition is fluctuating, I've never had a bagel outside of NY that was nearly as good as what I've had there. If your hypothesis was true, literally everything would be better in NY. And I hope we can agree that is not even close to true.

What’s better than a fresh slice of NY pizza I ask?

Replying to KeyJetofHeart (#338,887)

As an Italian, it looks good. I've seen much better, but also much, MUCH worse. It's clearly made by someone who both knows what a pizza is supposed look like and is capable of cooking it well enough. I would definitely try it.

The price is also important though. A pizza slice like this would cost about 1€ in Italy.

The thing is, we do kind of do everything just a bit better here. The food is incredible in this city and you don’t get the variety and quality in most other cities and you damn sure won’t find it in the metro/suburb areas of other cities. From manhattan all the way to Long Island the food is just fire.

I was accidently given the wrong pizza once and it was a clam and roasted garlic pizza. I decided to go with it. It was so good that I now make it at home at least twice a month.

I have eaten in cities across the country. Sorry, but I had better food overall in St Louis than NY. And for specifics, each part of the country usually specializes on certain foods, and basically everyone knows and accepts that. Weird to dig in and say "no we're better than everyone at everything!" just because your original comment didn't really make sense.

I forgot about the fine dining of St. Louis, Missouri. It’s a well known destination for lovers of fine cuisine from all over the world.

Obviously different regions have their specialties. Not gonna find great crab boils or even barbecue in New York. But in terms of best overall choices for places to eat? You can’t beat New York. Every culture is represented here in high quality, for the most part.

Name a single city that has the same level of food in this country. You can’t. Ffs you tried to say some shithole in MO was better, no one should take anything you say serious lol.

Replying to PoliSciNerd24 (#356,752)

Hating on St Louis is just proving my point. I had food all over NYC and all over St Louis. STL was better overall. Hell, there's a single street there with as much food diversity as you'll find in all of Manhattan. No one is going to agree with you that NYC (or any other city) has better quality of every food than every other city. It's a silly point that you made not realizing how dumb it was, and now you're digging in instead of just shutting up or god forbid acknowledging it was dumb. Bye

You know you can't defend your original argument, so you gave up and just deflect deflect deflect. Your next comment will also be another deflection to avoid defending your argument, which I'll remind you was "the only reason bagels are better in NY is because literally all food is better there than anywhere in the US due to the high cost of rent." Go ahead 😆😆😆

I suppose it depends on where you went and what you had.

Katz's is a great example, the serving is massive and it's one of those iconic spots\tourist traps but I honestly feel other places do better pastrami and offer a better value for the money.

Grand Central Oyster Bar is a nice enough place and the prices are fair but I would always advise people to check out Maison Premier if they are looking for oysters as they tend to have a better selection on their menu and the oysters they serve tend to be larger and meatier for a similar price.

I never mentioned rent. Just that the food here is the best in the country. Which you then tried to say was wrong and that… St. Louis, Missouri, had better food. Which is something I think most people couldn’t say with a straight face and reads like a shitty joke.

There are seven 2 bros locations not 50 and there are not that many 1 dollar/99c stores left besides those relative to the thousands of other pizza stores.

Also 2 bros sells their pizza for 1.50 now so that's not even true to begin with.

I got it three weeks ago for $1. Plain, anyway. Idk about toppings. And idk it feels like 50 locations. Regardless, not that hard to find one of their locations in Manhattan.
