What a pizza ...! Preposterous poll ranks NY 4th

What a bunch of meatheads!

New York pizza-lovers got a black eye from users of the travel megasite TripAdvisor, who rated the city’s slices a paltry fourth in the country behind outposts like San Diego and Las Vegas.

Perhaps most offensive was the third-place choice of Boston, where reviewers gushed about pies with oddball toppings like shrimp scampi.

“Get out of here, that’s crazy! Boston is No. 3?” said Jackson Heights resident Andrew Silverstein, 31, while enjoying lunch at famed Patsy Grimaldi’s new Brooklyn joint, Juliana’s. “I’ve had pizza in Boston, and it was a horrible experience.”

Users of the normally reliable travel Web site — suspiciously run out of the Boston suburb of Newton — wrote glowingly of the pizzas that are churned out in the Mexican border town of San Diego.

“The pizza was just as good as being home in New York,” one person said.

All we are saying, is give pizza a chance.

I have some friends who moved to the Boston area and they say they can’t find a good pizza anywhere.

Boston pizza is overrated. I lived there. The North End has excellent restaurants some of which have good pizza (Antico Forno). Pizzeria Regina is legndary but usually packed. If anything, I’d get bakery pizza in Boston. But Boston isn’t truly “a slice” city as is New York if that is desired. Boston is seafood, pubs and Dunkin Donuts.

I'm NYC born and raised. My first exposure to pineapple pizza was mid 80s in San Diego.
Made me want to barf just looking at it.

You might enjoy this...Many years ago,...early 80's.. New York magazine did its first survey of the best pizza in NYC..it's since become an annual feature of the magazine. But the FIRST winner was...wait for it..Goldberg's KOSHER Pizza in lower Manhattan. This was before the Internet..but the story generated tens of thousands of letters

Uno’s and Due’s Chicago. Best deep dish EVER.

A few years ago, I was in Los Angeles. I asked a person if there was a good pizza joint. He told me the name and the intersection. Then he said “In St. Louis...That's the closest good pizza place to Los Angeles that I know.

Agreed...in fact; pizza in Red England is crap, by and large.

Chicago has the best pizza -- or else.

And you'll never find better - because your sense of taste/smell are 30 years older and getting older!

T. Anthony’s. They’ve even got a decades old photo of the Pope riding by in front of their restaurant.

I like Giordano’s.

Santarpio's in Eastie, by the airport end of the tunnel, used to be really good. My parents used to take us there as children mmmppphhh years ago. It was still great last time I was there 3-4 years ago.

Imagine there’s no pizza
I couldn’t if I tried
Eating only tacos
Or Kentucky Fried
Imagine only burgers
It’s frightening and sad

You’re lucky you have pizza
To feed your kids for you
Only frosting or cookies
And no dishes you must do
Imagine eating pizza
Each and every day

You may say that it’s junk food
But to me it’s so much more
It gives my life its meaning
And it makes a lot of dough

Imagine mozzarella
Anchovies on the side
And maybe, pepperoni
Rounds out your pizza pie
Imagine getting pizza
Delivered to your door

You don’t have to give up now
On my skateboard I will go
I’ll be back in 30 minutes
I just bought Dominoes

All I am saying
Is give pizza a chance
All I am saying
Give pizza a chance!
All I am saying
Is give pizza a chance
All I am saying
You’ve got to, got to give pizza a chance!
