What a bunch of meatheads!
New York pizza-lovers got a black eye from users of the travel megasite TripAdvisor, who rated the city’s slices a paltry fourth in the country behind outposts like San Diego and Las Vegas.
Perhaps most offensive was the third-place choice of Boston, where reviewers gushed about pies with oddball toppings like shrimp scampi.
“Get out of here, that’s crazy! Boston is No. 3?” said Jackson Heights resident Andrew Silverstein, 31, while enjoying lunch at famed Patsy Grimaldi’s new Brooklyn joint, Juliana’s. “I’ve had pizza in Boston, and it was a horrible experience.”
Users of the normally reliable travel Web site — suspiciously run out of the Boston suburb of Newton — wrote glowingly of the pizzas that are churned out in the Mexican border town of San Diego.
“The pizza was just as good as being home in New York,” one person said.

Looks pretty good.
We got a wood fired place here now.
It is OK, but it aint like home.
A review from one of my favorite pizza places from childhood:
“With the flurry of out-of-town Avalon reviews, I gotta throw in some old perspective. An Italian friend took me here for the first time in 1979. He was a regular. You had to be recognized through the peephole in order to get in. There was something going on in the back, gambling I presume. Everything was dirt cheap and the place had the requisite stink of a working town bar. This place and Golden Dawn had the same “racket” going.
Best part of the story was the warning I got in the parking lot prior to entering for the first time. I was told that once I was spotted in Avalon, the FBI would have a file on me. You can’t beat that kind of “extra value”.
The place has survived in a somewhat seedy part of town. I’m glad folks are still enjoying it. I’ll have to check out the place again.”
Fernando’s in Austintown is still a hoot.
Cash only, handed to a cashier in a 3 piece suit LOL.
We serve pizza, don’t ask for Manicotti, Pizza only.
Fernando is a hoot
