Best pizza I ever had was in NYC. BY the slice. Swear on the Bible. 1980 or so.
Also had my first chipwich. Damnittohell.
It was like a buck a slice back then.
I delivered pizza for a pizzeria in a Chicago suburb during summer break from college in 1960. All mafia made ingredients. Got a free one whenever I wanted. Best I ever had.
There is a place in Deep Ellum that sells NY style for 6 bucks a slice. Does not taste the same at all.
Ditto NYC, but in the late 50s & early 60s - 84th St something like that, where it seemed like every other shop was either a pizza place or a pastrami sandwich shop.
NY has the best pizza- NYC and surrounding counties. I have about five different pizza places which are my go-to’s, depending where I’m at. The place up the road from me- Sette Vente- cannot be beat.
BTW- Donald Trump Jr is always in the restaurant (Sette Vente) with his kids and the owner, an Italian immigrant, is a hardcore Conservative.
Jersey Shore circa 1972 or so. Never had better.
By the slice: Mom and Pop pizza shop on upper Chenango Sat., by the old bridge, Binghamton, NY, 1960.
