Right: I am mainly kidding, but one different decision and you could have had a 50% bad day. I always said this was risky.

When it comes to New York Italian-American food, you might as well just hand me a white feather.

Most of these Pizza places are claiming not to be Italian-American, but just plain Italian.
I never said that

And the two that were most explicitly Italian (Keste and Forcella) were IMO the best.

(I like Co. as well - but I'm not sure where I'd place it geographically)
Why not mayo?

Because either:

(a) Latinos have moved out of the neighborhoods and/or don't eat cuchifritos any more (eGullet); or

(b) You can't pay rent increases selling fried meat at $1 a piece (me).

There's always pub crawls. That never gets old.

33.33% dreadful. You got off lightly. :lol:


I agree. We passed Pulino, Lombardi's & a few other places that could've changed thel % (for the worse, I'd guess). I would think that Arturo's would've split the crowd (I like it and so does Joethefoodie, but I know others that don't). Of course, we could've tempted fate (and my arteries) and walked to 2nd Ave to hit Luzzo's, Mororino and a couple of other places as well but I guess that waits for another day.

Pulino's has, imo, gotten much better...though it was not good to begin with. I thought I'd read (maybe from Daniel) that Luzzo's was on a serious downhill slide.

And still to my taste, the best by the slice, is Joe's on 6th.

I always liked Joe's well enough -- happy to pull a slice there whenever I have a chance -- but I never could see what the fuss was about.

You like it cuz you have both have the same name.

I think if you are younger than you are you admire Joe's more. It really has by default become one of the best slice pizza places in Manhattan
