    Not putting down New York pizza because I've never tried it. But growing up in the Chicago suburbs and eating Chicago style pizza. I have to say that our pizza does not have any flop and the pizzas are not as greasy / oily. There are a few places around that I have some pretty oily / greasy pizza and it always messes with me. But it makes sense because when my pizza drips and cools, there are drips of hardened lard on the pizza box or plate. If you make it to Chicago on your upcoming visit, just know that most Chicagoans like thin crust and deep dish is kind of touristy but Chicagoans do eat it maybe once a year.

Given the comparisons of people visiting from a lot of areas to what's available there it seems like reputation alone would have a pretty strong chance of rapidly building a stable customer base.

    As someone who grew up between Philly and NY, NY style pizza is a well known staple. Almost no matter where you go, the Pizza is good in NJ. It's like closing your eyes and throwing a dart at the dartboard and hoping to hit the dartboard. When in NY, and you're talking about one pizza place being better than the others, you're really starting to split hairs. Of course, we all have our favorites. I grew up with a pizza place a few blocks away where I grew up in the suburbs of NJ, and to me, Joe's Pizza in NY is pretty close to the Pizza I grew up with.

Lobster rolls, clam chowder, and fried clams, scallops, and shrimp are all very popular. They also have the best Chinese food in America, although San Francisco and NY are pretty on par. If you like Italian food, there's the North End, Chinatown for Chinese food, and the seaport area for Seafood. The Union Oyster House has been open since 1826. If you like history, it's one of the coolest cities to visit.

    American pizza beats Italian pizza as long as you don't buy garbage.
    Most of the old school pizza shops in the US are older than nearly all Italian pizza shops. So many Italians immigrated here long before pizza was ever popular in Italy outside of Naples. On top of that, Italians from all over Italy would move into a single neighborhood so you would get so many different influences in Italian-American dishes vs. what it would be in Italy.
    I come from an Italian family and so many times people from Italy make claims about Italian food that is literally not true or just a strange attempt to differentiate from what Italian-Americans do.
    Even when it comes to the hallmark, I have had as good or better Neapolitan pizza in the US though the difference is in price.
    Btw, Chef Boyardee *is* Italian food. Cheers.

      Yeah with Doordash and the other services you can get almost any food delivered but why? Most cuisines are really better freshly prepared and hot. I eat a lot of curries (Thai and Indian and even Burmese) because curry is one thing that reheats well if it's cold by the time you get it home or it's delivered, but you can't even do that in a hotel room. Just get a 1 week Metrocard and spend the week dining all over NY. I've done that several times.

    NYC is always an interesting city, since before airplanes were a thing, most of USA immigrants would first land in NYC. So a lot of NYC is still very much a place to get great food from descendants of immigrants who brought their foods to USA in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th century by boat. I’m jealous, I live in Florida, and it is very hard to find a good pizza here unless you’re in Orlando or Miami and find a pizzeria owner who moved there from NYC.

      If you visit Gainesville, FL go to Pomodoro Cafe. They have great pizza and may still have a buy one get one free deal. I have lived in Kissimmee, Davenport, Gainesville, and now Miami. So far, outside of New York, Pomodoro Cafe in Gainesville has the best NY style pizza. One of the owners used to live on or near Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.

      A pizza's greatest enemy is staying in the box too long. You definitely don't want to let it steam in the box or it'll just get soggy. It's better to leave it open and risk it cooling a little bit than letting it get soggy.

    I personally loved Lombardi’s one of the oldest pizza places in New York city. Do not go to the Spider-Man pizza place near time square as it’s too crowded and it’s only famous because of the movie plus it’s not that good. For a slice I suggest the thousands of $1.50 pizza places on the street as there are so many of them. They all are pretty much the same with an oven and pizza right there you choose. Action kid likes Ruby Rosa’s out in Brooklyn but I haven’t gone yet. Lombardi’s has a wood fire oven in the basement that you can actually see pizza being cooked in. I heard about a speciality pizza place that is in a subway station. I think it just opened too, I heard it’s actually pretty good.

    Pizza was strictly an East Coast phenomenon for many years, few other than Italian immigrants had ever tried it or even heard of it. WWII changed all that, our boys who served in Sicily and Italy were exposed to it and loved it. They wanted more of it when they came back home. Two brothers from Wichita, Kansas seized the opportunity and began the Pizza Hut franchise in the 1950s. The rest, as they say, is history! 😃😃😃🍕🍕🍕
