Brooklyn Pizza is the best Pizza in the world, but Grimaldi’s is so over.
It was great when it opened, but the past few years, since Patsy sold his business, it has been all downhill.
Grimaldi’s is so 90’s. Besides. would you stand on line for 1 1/2- 2 hours for a Pizza?
Her Royal High and Mighiness Michelle didn’t wait on line for hers. Betcha!
The pizza makers of Chicago aren’t going to be happy hearing the Obama kids like Brooklyn pizza better. Never liked the Chicago deep dish pizza. The super thin melt-in-your-mouth crust was the kind made in the Chicago Italian neighborhood where I grew up and it was the best. I’ve managed to find a local place who still makes it that way.
Yes, the boob belt is back....
I can honestly say that you get more consistently good pizza where the Italian-Americans migrated to (see Long Island and Monmouth County, NJ). However, as a resident of NYC myself, the joints that are left that do great pizza (you have to know where to look) are superior to anyplace else. Its just that you are not guaranteed a good slice like you were 30 years ago, when the joints were still run by Italians (or by Greeks and Albanians, many of the latter having spent time in Italy).
My faves: Arturos, Pizza Suprema (Manhattan), Catania's, Dominicks (the Bronx), Rizzo's (Astoria, Queens), DiFara (Avenue J, Brooklyn), Vesuvio and Pizza Wagon (Bay Ridge, Brooklyn).
I used to love Patsy's in East Harlem, but the family sold it to the employees from Puebla, and the quality and service has gone to hell.
