Taking the family to NYC next weekend and the wife is a total foodie. She wants to know the best pizza in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Help.
LOL!
Actually, I love stringy cheese that slides right off (but you gotta be careful).
I bet someone somewhere has a similar writeup about Chicago pizza.
Ya gotta go about 900 miles west to Chicago.

These two, forget the chains like Sbarro’s that are into mass production.
Also don’t bother with all the “Rays” pizza, greasy slop.
Yes !!!
If she claims she is a foodie she would already know which pizza joints in NYC are the favorites.
That pic started the waterworks here.....almost nine years already.
My advice? As soon as you get off the plane, walk to the ticket counter and book a flight to Chicago...for there is no pizza in NYC worth wasting your time on! ;)
regards,
Gino's East is fantastic! Also Lou Malnati's is right up there with it and my newest favorite is Giordano's stuffed pizza. If you go to any of these three restaurants, you will be very satisfied and very full. There is also a Giordano's in Orlando. As far as pizza in New York...try the spaghetti instead.
Aren't they the same?
Food Network you have Rachel Ray and $40 a day (of course , now that shes rich, the only places she goes cost $40 just to smell the air) and Giadas (yum) Weekend (or whatever they call it)
Over at Travel Channel you got that dork TRYING to be cool and hip, picking fights with food. You have angry bean pole man with the attitude and nothing to back it going places with No Reservations. You got the chick starting food fights. And you got Andrew Zimmern eating pig uterus or whatever other "delicacy".
Where's Samantha Brown??? Where's the hot babe going places and digging for treasure???
I want to learn about places. And dream about going somewhere.
Oh yeah, back at Food Network, Guy Sunglasses drives all over the US eating at diners.
Of course I have enjoyed traveling and eating at some of the places I've seen on TV. The Big Texan in Armadillo. Lamberts Cafe in Sikeston, Mo. Neelys BBQ in Nashville. Coney Island Hotdog in Aspen Park, Co.
Just spent a week there and ate pizza nearly everyday. Damn good pizza. I am going to move there someday, I loved it so much.
NYC is still the best pizza though. Aint no reason to visit Chicago anyhow. Ugly, flat, windy and home of the The One and Mrs.
I love a good pie fight!
I could handle living there.
Not familiar with that one.
Go down to Little Italy. There are a couple of pizzerias there who still use coal-fired ovens. In our emissions-conscious age, I think they are even Grandfathered-in by the City. I’ve been to a few, and can’t pick one that is much better than others - but this place pops up in a lot of reviews. The lines waiting to get in can be incredible.

Go to Jeff Varasano’s page.
http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm
Search for “Tier 1” in the page, multiple times, until you get to the Tier 1 table, and look for the NYC restaurants there.
Varasano gets it.
If you go to New York for Pizza, someone in Chicago will be enjoying this instead of you. I you have your heart set on thin crust pizza, then head to Iron River Michigan and go to The Riverside Pizzeria.
Also, you might find this useful.
