Foldable pizza was my go-to lunch in junior high school in Manhattan. I never ate at the cafeteria - I would walk a few blocks to the local pizza place and get a slice, fold it, and eat it on the way back to school.

What’s the verdict on Lenny’s Pizza in Brooklyn that Travolta made famous? Good or just another one on the pile?

dunno but Mystic Pizza was all hype, still better than Papa John.

[Magic Fingers]

And they would never admit it even if they did like PJ’s NY-style pizza.

Uno’s varies and that is unfortunate. Lately been fantastic again. Used to enjoy Home Run Inn on the north side and loved Aurelio’s and Sanfratello’s on the far south side.

I once got a NY thin crust at pizza hut, it was appalling, the crust was cracker like, just appalling.

I know a guy in Texas that has philly rolls flown in daily and it makes a world of difference.

I do believe certain indigenous elements make some foods better than others

Nah, I haven’t had a good slice of Pizza since I left Queens, NY.
There once was a place called Pizza City on Cross Bay Blvd.
Then there was that little Pizzeria on Liberty Ave, I used to stop by.
All gone but not Forgotten.

Family Lore

When my parents were dating, (NYC pre-WWII) pizzarias were not as prevalent as they later became. They took Dad’s Italian immigrant (legal) folks out for pizza. Granma and Granpa were VERY disappointed. Evidently when they heard “Pizza” their minds went to pizza rustica, not what we in NY called pizza. They enjoyed it, but it wasn’t what they expected.

completely off topic but a great slice on America..

Exactly. “If it ain’t from NYC, it sucks.”

NYCers - There’s a whole big world out there west of Tenth Avenue, and it has gone right by you.

Rule of thumb: Local place and it must have an Italian name on the sign. ............................ Nope don’t go by that. We had one with the Italian name and it was owned and employed by guys from Afghanistan, the one by my daughter is a Palestinian owned one. And! The best slice of NYC Pizza I had was in Stetin Poland. And I had L&B’s Pizza recently and Eh? But they still made the best Spumoni ever.

we got pierogi pizza here.

I make the BEST pizza rustica for Easter- down to the pasta frolle crust. Everybody always looks forward to it. In fact i have to make to big 12 inch pizza rustica’s because everyone wants a piece to take home.
