      I'm surprised at this point that a few of the better independent pizzamakers aren't headed to NZ or the UK or whatever, having some genuine ovens built and using their recipes to build some places similar to the ones in the US. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

      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 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! 😃😃😃🍕🍕🍕

    Here's some tips for New York pizza. If you don't like oily Pizza you take some napkins and place them over the pizza gently I mean gently and then press them and then lift them away and you will have wonderful less oily pizza. Also avoid pepperoni if you don't like oily pizza because it's the other primary source of excess oil. People who take their pizza too seriously and love pepperoni often will have pepperoni cooked up on the side of sprinkle it over and pieces or bits. I myself avoid pepperoni because it turns everything Orange..
    Also you may notice that every pizza place has an arrangement of salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili flakes, and possibly some other stuff. Make sure you grab a slice next time you go to New York City and try some with a tiny bit of salt and some garlic. It takes a plain piece of pizza to the next level. Also Nothing pizza icy cold carbonated soda like Coke or Pepsi not the diet versions if you can help it. It's the wine of New York City that goes with your pizza🤣
    For challenge try taking two pieces of plain pizza and stack them on top of each other and eat them that way. I believe John Travolta did this in the movie, Saturday Night Fever.
    Sometimes if you first bite off the very tip of the pizza it will fold better with less flop if you don't like flop.
    Many Pizza still come with that little round piece in the center that looks like it's on legs like it's a table. It keeps the pizza from hitting the top of the box when you transport it and it's the mobile way to assist you in separating your pizza slices. When you hold down the slice next to the one you want with the little table you pull your slice and everything doesn't go with you and make a mess. I see you notice the challenge should not lose all your cheese and I must say you did very very well. One last thing is sometimes people will take all the cheese off one slice and stack it on another one and then eat the bread separate. A lot of people do this with the crust if they eat it many people do not eat the crust because it's where too many of the bread calories are. The pigeons do love the crust though. You did notice the pigeons and New York City right? 🤣

      Pretty good summary. One thing you missed; a golden brown top. Where the cheese is actually a bit cooked! I hate it when they drag it out of the oven as soon as the cheese melts.
      And oil is flavor; my tummy doesn't like it, but i stopped blotting it up. It's worthwhile even if I do have to sleep with my head and shoulders propped up. Love that orange hue!
