Oh my god fuck off

>>12088878
not entirely true preference is a preference don't try to make fake equivalencies

You don't seem to understand the concept of pizza by the slice

Ah only real new yorkers understand a real NY slice

>how come jew yorkers want to jew you out of your slice of plastic vomit on cardboard?

What exactly is so special about NY pizza that makes it so different from any pizza I can get in any city or town?

>>12088954
The water. My family always said only NYC water is just like water in the old country, God works in mysterious ways piezon

>>12088954
Egos so fragile they'll need to defend it even if it's not mentioned, cause they know it's shit. Like philly cheese steaks, in-n-out, shitcago deep dish, etc.

not a new yorker and i've never had a new york pizza

but cheese pizzas are fucking based. i always order them to determine if i like the crust, sauce, and cheese quality. if they can't get that right, then all i'm buying the pizza for is the meat and vegetables toppings. at that point, i might as well just order a supreme salad or something.

>>12088878
Just eat the damn pizza and find out for yourself.

>>12088878
Unironically jews. The Jews work closely with the Italians since they run delis, and the pizza bagels that resulted from those close working relationships try to sell a pizza that costs the absolute least to produce, hence the thin crust, minimal sauce and only a pittance of cheese.

>>12088974
I've been told it was the water my whole life as well. Supposedly it's because the islands NYC is situated on act as a giant mineral filter that purifies the water and gives it a unique flavor profile.

The ones with topping sit for hours and cost $2 more, while the cheese zlices are made fresh every 5 minutes

>>12088878
Ny pizza is literally a kike meme. Its the worst fucking pizza on the planet. Id rather have a frozen gas station pizza.

>>12088878
Had it before in NYC, pretty damn good. Great texture on the dough, crisp and chewy. Good sauce to cheese ratio, personally I don’t like a whole lot of sauce on there. Just a little to give you that hit of sweet acidic tomato flavor. They actually do make it with toppings, I had a simple pepperoni slice but they also sold supreme and cheese by the slice and you could order whole pies with basically any toppings you want.

>>12088878
sheltered, childish palettes.

T. midwesterner that eats a round loaf of bread with sugar sauce and 10 pounds of assorted toppings and calls that pizza

>palettes.
Retard.

>>12088944
I hate this city so much

>>12088954
One very big contributing factor is the water, which also makes for extremely delicious NYC bagels. Someone tried opening a pizza shop that had some sort of extremely expensive water system set up to mimic NYC water in the Connecticut suburbs. Their pizza was good, but it was unaffordable for the owner.

>>12089019
crock of shit, it's all piped in from upstate

the "muh bagel, muh pizza dough" water is also bullshit, it's just flogs from NYC mythologising every tiny aspect of their city as per usual. Moderately hard and acidic water is better for baking

>>12092019

Yeah especially since everybody knows south-east Melbourne has the best quality of water. ;)

>>12092019
Nah you're just jealous. Was even reading today that some bagel shop in Florida imports its water from NY so it can get the same taste.

No, that's right, NYC controls reservoirs hours to the north, and they're cunts that don't let anyone fish in them either.

>>12088982
That's New York in general. New Yorker's have this insane self importance like their city is the center of the universe.

ny and nj have the best pizza. everywhere else its so garbage that i wouldnt even call it the same dish

>>12088878
because real pizza like you find in Italy is margherita only and there are a lot of italians in NY. But their pizza is shit compared to those you find in Italy. Pic related: how an authentic pizza looks like

>>12088944
Are they in a restroom? wtf

>>12088878
>mfw people get triggered hard by NYC
Cope.

NYC is great, stay jealous. I don't even live there anymore, I live in Tokyo.

>>12088878
toppings are a crutch for bad pizza. any child will like meat sprinkled on your cheese and tomato bread.

>>12093573
Good, stay there and never come back.

>>12093511
Why are Italians so snobby about their cuisine? There’s only so many ways to smash together pasta, bread, tomatoes, and cheese. Why can’t you be more like Mexico? They’re chill. They don’t give a shit how they smash together bread, tomatoes, cheese, and chilis. So long a

Forgot to backspace that sentence I decided not to finish.

Let's be real here, nostalgia.

Cheese slices are traditionally way cheaper than regular slices. People associate their "favorite" or "best tasting" with the thing they just happen to be near their job/school/commute.

low and behold, the cheapest item on the menu is delicous otherwise it would destroy the ego of their childhood.

Another arguement is if their is any barometer to measure how good a pizza place is, a cheese pizza is a good control unit. Im highly suspicous of people who dont praise pizzerias for their toppings though. What you would usually find is those places that make decent cheese pizzas, use the same shlock of peppornis or wet stale mushrooms as everyone else.

Their is alot of pizza in nyc. but their is also a lot of bad pizza in NYC and I would reckon if you would to just walk around and go to those cheap dollar pizza joints more than 50 percent of the time its no more better than a chucky cheese pizza.

That being said, if you do a quick google search your probably only a 20 min walk to better than above average pizza where its obvious they spend a bit more time on the sauce, cheese, and actually cook the bottom of the damn pizza to not be a floppy mess. you will also notice the toppings are either house made ( as in roasted or pickled) or they buy the better tier of toppings.

Their is a lot of italians in new york, just by chance their will be a lot of good pizza. But don't fall for the hype that all the pizza is good, just their is a lot of good pizza

>In a banner year for a perennial top finisher in drinking water contests, South Huntington also won a bronze medal for third best-tasting municipal water in the United States at the International Water Taste Competition in Berkeley Springs, W.Va.
>All of Long Island's drinking supplies comes from the same 90-trillion-gallon underground mix of sand, gravel and water contained in three separate aquifers, the Upper Glacial, Magothy and Lloyd.

if youve never had nyc or new haven pizza you wont really understand
the quality of pizza really drops the further away you get from new york
if dominos is a contender for best pizza in your area youve really never had good pizza end of

It's almost like you're retarded.

>>12093878
Cope whatever way you need to, retard. Keep your stupidity in your hick state along with your water softeners.

>>12088944
Is that Jimmy Norton?

>>12093913
I live Upstate you moron. Why do you think I complained about NYC controlling reservoirs hours away? I also like how you entirely ignore evidence of where those reservoirs are.

>>12093792

>>12093877
thank you for your service, you utter Plebian.
Italian Pizza is an art form older than the whole United States.

>>12094372
Is this OC?

>>12089013
Just wow, lost a couple braincells reading this.

>>12094372
Italy has only been a sovereign nation since 1946.

>>12088878
why do people in chicago think this is pizza?

>>12088878
Pizza overloaded with toppings undercuts the actual ingredients and technique put into pizza with cheap ways of making it more filling.

>>12088954
Literally nothing beyond meme tier bullshit.
Couple typical american "we're the best at everything ever forever and ever" arrogance with the added bonus of new yorker arrogance, and voila : you have your answer.

>>12094565
Going to make a Chicago-style deep dish in a few days and there is nothing you can do to stop me

>>12088982
How does dissing every city's signature disk prove your point?

You honestly hate all of these?

Extremely hot take: NJ has way better pizza than NY

>>12094690
Agreed. You have to go to a really good place though.
inb4 buttblasted jew yorkers mad about NJ as usual

>>12088878
Just shut the fuck up. People eat different shit than you. Get the fuck over it you literal child.

That's just what they put in the books and want you to think

>>12090049
That's okay. We don't fucking think of you at all.

>>12093675
Because that's all they have to brag about, even then France is better at cooking then them so they have to bullshit about their pizza instead even though most people prefer American style pizza.

>>12094565
Because people from Chicago are gross.

>>12094778
their is a lot of really good places though.
clifton, montclair. Lodi, hoboken, fairlawn, edgewater, paterson...

literally every city has REALLY good pizza
bruno's in clifton, mancinis in montclair (their brooklyn based), pizza town makes a MEAN cheese pizza (their calzones are low key the best), brooklyn pizza in edgewater (with a ridgewood location), etc etc

these are all DIFFERENT style pizzas ( by the slice, woodfire, and coal) and are all extremely good.

dont sleep on NJ. as far as staple foods of bagel, italian deli sandwitches, pizza, fried chicken, etc basic foods we got the same tier stuff

>>12089940
SEETHING

>>12088944
Dude you're from Wisconsin.

because not having any toppings make the pizza uniquely delicious.

>>12094565
That is D I S C U S T I N G
