That is one big slice

Looks more like New Haven style pizza - less cheese and charred - than the NY variety.

I’m not going all the way to NYC just for pizza.
I can get great enough pizza in Jersey!

John’s on Bleeker Street is the best I’ve had.

40 dollars for a whole pizza. Stupid.

It looks like your typical total crap Italian pizza. Very thin crust with some food coloring sprinkled on top. No thanks. I grew up with Thick crust, Thick Gooey cheese, Good layer of tomato sauce, and juicy toppings. Which is very hard to find now. But nothing else satisfies.

"That is one big slice"

Maybe in length and width but not depth.

It looks like Dave Portnoy favors thin-crust, crispy with sauce, little to no cheese and no pepperoni. That's fine for him. That's his preference. I have my own standards when it comes to pizza or any food.

His taste buds are not my taste buds.

The best I’ve ever had was in the old city in Naples. But even in Italy there is variability from one place to another. A lot obviously depends on personal taste. For example, there are some places in Connecticut that are good, but I’m not really a fan of most New Haven pizza - with a few exceptions. I’ve had great pizza in NYC, but not necessarily in the places that have been raved about. I recently had a Detroit pizza that was good.

All the above aside, a decent pizza oven (including wood fired or propane) can now be purchased without spending a fortune. Making your own dough and sauce, and experimenting with toppings and cheeses, can be really fun and produce really good pizza. It’s a lot less expensive that way as well (once you’ve recovered the initial costs of set up).
