There is no good pizza in New York City. If you want good pizza take the train to New Haven and then take a cab to Zuppardi’s just south of Main Street and Union Avenue in West Haven. Or take a cab to Wooster Square in New Haven and try Sally’s pizza. Nothing in New York can compare to New Haven pizza.
I was about to post words to that effect, but you've said all that needs saying. Except for stopping in Norwalk for a pie at Letizia's.
