Agreed. It's a matter of personal taste, but if you like NY-style pizza, just stick to any place with an Italian guy's name (Angelo's, Dominic's, Tony's), and you should be fine.
Personally, when in NY and gorging on NY style pizzas, I also try to find a place that has good Italian Ices.
Regarding places with Italian names, you may want to check behind the counter too. Some of those guys don’t look like a Tony, Joey, Vinny, or Frank if you get my drift. Especially when the women working with them have head scarves and ain’t NY natives. I’m just sayin’. When you get to NYC, ask any cop on the street, especially if his name ends in a vowel, he’ll suggest a couple of places. Guaranteed.
Actually, John's on Bleecker St. is widely considered among (if not THE) very best.
