Living in New York, I’ve always been lucky to have what I call “real” pizza at my fingertips.  “New York Style Pizza“, if you may.  Large, wide, thin, and foldable yet crispy.  There’s nothing better.  

With so many restaurants to pick from (there is literally a pizza place on every corner), it is rather difficult to weed out the bad ones.  Not that there are more bad places than good, but how do you know which one to pick when there are just too many options?

It’s a nearly impossible task.  Ever thought about picking which child you like better?  I didn’t think so.  Almost as difficult as that.

I’ve managed to narrow down the list to # restaurants which I feel deserve “The Best Slice in NYC” award.

1) Patsy’s Pizzeria

2) 2 Bros Pizza (also known in my book as $1 Pizza)

Looking for a super economical slice without skimping on taste? And this is not a grand opening special.  Something that is still going strong today.

3) Heading into Brooklyn?  DO NOT LEAVE without have some yummy Grimaldi’s goodness.  Take it down to the park near the bridge for a picnic you will never forget.

4) And if you’re ever out in the Queens area, be sure to check out Nicks Pizza

5) Famous Original Ray’s Pizza

6) Lombardi’s, the first pizzeria in the United States, established by Italian Immigrant Gennaro Lombardi in 1895 in New York City

7) Joe’s Pizza

8) Artichoke Basille’s Pizza & Bar

& yes, those are actual artichokes on the pizza, although they have a ton of other toppings to choose from.

9) Bleecker Street Pizza

Bring cash, no cards are accepted here.

10) Casa Nonna

Do you have a favorite pizza topping?
I love olives and ricotta cheese!

    A couple of years ago on an eight-hour layover in NY, I stashed my luggage at the Greyhound station, hopped on a subway and tried to take in as many NY experiences as I could in that time. (Keep in mind I'm notorious for getting lost). Long story short, I went to what a NY co-worker had told me was the best place for pizza. I charged in to this tiny place, the guy scowled at panicking me, took his time and ended up serving me a cheese and pepperoni that I don't remember have a say in ordering. Anyway, it was delicious. I barely made my plane. I wish I could remember the name of the place. Visiting from A-Z. Cheers!

      What a great story! Wish you remembered the name as well! I'm curious as to where your coworker sent you for the "best pizza"!!!

      Awesome- feel free to send it around! NYC really has the best pizza there is, narrowing it down to just 10 was super tough!!! Hope you have fun! Would be interested to know how it goes!

    I miss NY so bad…. took my nephew up for a week's vacation last year and got to wander about seeing so much of the area I used to call home (I lived in White Plains and LOVED Broadway Pizzaria. I still visit Mike the owner when I get back up there!)Stopping by from A to Z, hope you have a chance to stop by mine at http://janiceperson.com

      Isn't pizza in New York just the best!? So many options to pick from! It still amazes me how many toppings some of them have! And I've been living here my entire life!

    There was something about this post that really got my taste buds going. Something so cool that I chose to feature it as my Top 3 in The Carnival of Drifter Bites! Thanks for your submission!Living in Kaosiung City, Taiwan, it can be hard to find good quality pizza, and since I lived in NY for four years, NY style pizza is my pizza of choice. This post really hit home for me.

    Mmm… makes me want to head back to NYC for pizza. A 6-hour flight for pizza isn't crazy is it??

    Ah! Those pizzas all look SO amazing!! In Thailand, pizza is super expensive and not very good. I'm really looking forward to a NYC trip when I visit the US later this year. I'll be sure to check out some of your suggestions. 🙂
