Forget the Fancy Pies, This $3 Slice Is NYC’s Best Pizza
New York Post ^ | April 15, 2022 | Steve Cuozzo

Famous Original Ray’s Pizza still rules — no matter what pizza snobs say. As its crown logo proclaims, the local chainlet, which has three locations in Manhattan, is the king of pies, the imperatore of all New York street food.

The Big Apple is full of vaunted pizzerias, such as Una Pizza Napoletana, which just reopened to a blizzard of hype on the Lower East Side after a two-year hiatus. “Big cheese foodies” and celebrities stampeded the Orchard Street spot at its launch, Page Six reported.

I wonder how many sprang for a $750 tasting menu for four. A pizza tasting menu? Well Una Pizza Napoletana’s dough is “naturally leavened! For me, good ol’ Ray’s reigns supreme. Its gooey, cheesy, messy $3.50 slice laughs at pricier, pretentious mutations.

There is no one best pizza.

Different slices for different tastes, and different slices depending on the day.

Which is why a variety of local joints is a big advantage.

NYC? I'll take my chances with a pizza from Walmart's freezer section, thank you.

$3.50 pizza or $750 pizza. A tale of two cities.

There was a pizza joint across the street in high school where I would eat a couple of times a week. 2 large slices and a small coke for $2.

Place your dried oregano in the sauce and let it marinate overnight to bring out the oregano flavor.

food is relative. in NYC, good food is very hard to come by for a reasonable price.

$3/slice is absurd ... but the starving man thinks its amazing.

Food in Florida is subject to high levels of competition (except tourist locations). As such, the food has to be as good, if not better than, the competition or locals will not show up... which will kill the business.

New Mexico (local places only, no national chains) has three types of pizza restaurants. Pretentious, dives, and a local chain. I prefer the dives. Two one location only places are Giovanni’s, which is near the Southeast Heights war zone and has been rated top 20 nationally, and Trailrider which for years was located in a single wide trailer next to Molly’s Bar in Tijeras.

Visually it looks like crap. Crust it too thin. And where are the toppings?

Actually I find the Walmart neighborhood non-frozen fresh pizza to be pretty good.

Scarr’s on Orchard St has been my go-to lately.

Excellent taste and not too pricey ... like $4.

A long time ago in Indiana, and later in Chicago and NYC

There was the “Pizza Bank Club”

they would hold pizza and wine Galas for charity, and even bid for table in the vault.
