New York City pizza pie
The best pizza in New York City?
Grimaldi's
Without question my fav pie in this little town. This is no Ray's, folks. The crust is New York style (thin) yet pleasantly palpable. The mozzarella - deliriously fresh. The sauce proffers an excellent semisweet aromatic tomaticity delicately juxtaposed by a hint of olio e pecorino. The pepperoni's pretty good too (if you're a carnivore of course).
Grimaldi's [map] 19 Old Fulton St, Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge, take the A/C/E to High St
This fun little shop deserves a more central location, but I suppose it's pretty convenient for a few tens of thousands of people who live in the area. The pie is Grimaldi's style, although apparently with a conventional gas oven. It's on the cusp of true excellence.
Nick's Pizza [map] 108-26 Ascan Ave in Forest Hills, Queens, take the F to 75th Ave or the E/R/V to 71st Ave.
(The rest are in Manhattan)
Lombardi's
Last time I checked, Lombardi's still serves the best slice on the island. Problem is, they've become touristerized. Pies are a little more rushed and feel a tad more mass produced than they used to. But these bites, if you can handle the weekend wait, come with a bit of history - Lombardi's is officially America's first pizzeria, having been licensed as such in 1905. Yep, over 100 years old! There's a few good desserts right around the corner in Little Italy as well.
Lombardi's [map] 32 Sprint St between Mott and Mulberry Streets, take the 6 to Spring St, the J/M/Z to Bowery, or the B/D/F/V to Broadway-Lafayette.
John's
John's pizza is the king of the non-fresca crowd. Their mozzarella isn't quite up to par with the aforementioned, yet somehow it tastes pretty good. These slices are just a hint thicker (still New York style to any windy citians) and perhaps a tad cheesier. A decent choice for large groups as well (esp the mid-town location).
John's [map] Three locations: 278 Bleecker St | 260 W 44th St | 408 E 64th St
La Pizza Fresca
This place is included here out of respect for the excellent taste of my former roommie Mariapia (a good Italian cook & economist) who singled out La Pizza Fresca as her personal NYC favorite. One of the differences in this pie is the use of good buffalo mozzarella, which in my mind adds a sort of buttery appeal.
La Pizza Fresca Ristorante [map] 31 E 20th St, betw Broadway and Park Ave, take the R/W, 6, or F/V to 23rd St (3 different stations but all close together) or the N/Q/L to 14th St/Union Square.
Patsy's
Patsy's is my favorite Manhattan pizza chain (not counting John's I guess). It's not quite gourmet, but it's reliably enjoyable. On top of that, they usually don't have a long wait to sit down, and the menu offers plenty of alternatives (salads and pasta, etc) for those strange folk you go out with who might have a crazy urge to not eat pizza. If you're in a cool part of town, there's a good chance a Patsy's is within walking distance.
Patsy's [map] Many locations - see map. (Note that item "J" on the map is actually Grimaldi's, since Grimaldi's was once called Patsy's (although it is and has always been a distinct entity).)
Ray's
Do not eat at Ray's. Please. Think of your poor, innocent taste buds.
