Brahs that live outside the Tri state....do you eat pizza?

[SmashinYoungVag]

That sh*t is nasty af. Florida Pennsylvania Boston DC etc it’s all trash

Do you actually eat that?

[SmashinYoungVag]

JFL at not eating pizza that your italian friends father salvatore made in his small oldschool restaurant with wooden chairs and tables, where the only technological thing in there is the cash register

This is actually true tho

[Unstumpable]

Pizza is pizza. The people who say one area has better pizza than the other are just cringe. It's not like there's some secret recipe that's exclusive to New York, Chicago etc...

[jamalfudge]

Not from NY but it does get exponentially worse the further you get away. You can find "mom and pop" pizza places in rural areas outside of NY that migrated away from the city, rumor was back in the day they were all "family" getting into business in small towns. The pizza joints are still open today and are pretty good.

If you don't think there's any restaurant in Atlanta for example that has pizza as good as what you can find in New York then...brah you're retarded.

The pizza place I go to in small town South Carolina the owner came from Italy. The pizza is goated...every city has such places.

[OffwhiteBrah]

Are you dumb ? people don't go to those places to eat the pizza

[SmashinYoungVag]

Atlanta has soft water though. New haven and Ny have hard water. Which is what you want for a proper fermentation process of the dough.

Not sure if srs tho

srs had New York pizza and it was overrated. Was expecting something mind blowing.


inb4 I just ate at a bad place...which I'd say is most likely the case when you chit on other areas pizza.

[Unstumpable]

absolutely and unequivocally false.

What's the secret recipe brah? Are you gonna say the type of water like the other guy?

[mesobuild]

Upstate does alright. I've never seen another place reliably do well besides random unique shops.

[sgregor249]

CT here. Had some pizza in CO and it was like some frozen grocery store ****

[xxAchillesxx]

Born and raised NY brah but live in MD now. There are some places that aren't terrible, but obviously nowhere near NY tier level. One thing I do then is look for decent "artisan" pizza places. You can typically find some good eats along those lines because they're not trying to be NY style (or Chicago either).

[redraider86]

Philly and Scottsdale have some good joints, otherwise it's all kinda meh outside of NYC and New Haven.

[darkninja67]

The water has a lot to do with the overall taste of the dough.

Even Boston's best pizza doesn't come close to NY pizza.

[SSM12]

Missed out on NYC pizza when I was there. By the time I got to the place it was closed and had to eat at a dominos. **** my life.

Agreed. Boston’s best wings are right up there with Buffalo. And the breakfast sandwich I had was on par with Long Island. Underrated food city. But they can’t make pizza

[mayweathermusic]

Philly has some good spots but the best is in New Haven, CT.

[soaponarope1]

First of all, the entire style of pizza varies greatly around the country (and world).

Are you really trying to tell me that Chicago style pizza is the same recipe as NY style pizza?



Yep, looks identical.

Even the sauce is different. Other areas of the country use very sweet sauce, which you would never find in the tristate area

And yes, the mineral content of water has an effect on on the dough

Chicago pizza is not pizza, it's a bread bowl soup thing and gross af.

Back on topic, the water is what makes a difference. There was a place in Florida I went to a few times that actually shipped water in, I don't recall what it was called though. It was a long time ago. NY does have some pretty good pizza.

are you saying this because you have been? or because you watch barstool

[Train57]

they have that original pizza taste were you can taste the fresh ingredients pike the tomatoe sauce and the cheese and the crust is a little fluffy

but its not like its worth that much and a $5 frozen pizza taste just as good

[mayweathermusic]

I don't watch Barstool my friend, I lived there for 25 years.

We got lots of spot in midtown that fly in their dough from Napoli too. if it's not water it's something else lmao

[ANumber1]

First of all, Chicago-style thin crust is the superior format.

Second of all, the Phoenix pizza scene is a sleeper that is on the way to greatness. Nobody should leave Scottsdale without having a pie and a cocktail on the patio at Craft 64, and Goldbelly ships Pizzeria Bianco nationwide and can charge extravagant prices for it for a reason.

I'm not a baker but from my beer brewing experience I know that yeast impacts flavor, so I'd imagine whatever they have over there is probably some variety that has been cultivated by that area. If somebody is flying it out I'd bet that's part of it, also when I was in Italy the food was far more fresh and better overall than what we get here. Better ingredients better pizza right

[mayweathermusic]

Sally's>Modern>Zuppardi's>BAR>Pepe's

Zuppardi's white clam is the best pie I've ever had. Da Legna on State street is good too, but a notch below the rest for the same price.

[elterrible987]

new yorkers cope with muh pizza


fact is you can get new york pizza in any city in the US. everyone knows how to do new york style

[anonkunbrah]

good pizza is one of the perks to your $3000 monthly rent in the city

i'll have to check out that craft 64 place. i had never heard of it before but i generally don't spend any time in old town as i live like 30+ minutes north of there

i used to agree with your chicago thin crust assessment until lou malnati's came to town a couple of years back. Lou's deep dish is literally the only pizza i want to eat right now. prior to that all i ate was chicago thin crust
