For the Love of a Pizza Pie (or Slice)

Gothamist is happy for evergreen NYC topics that everyone can revist over and over again: What the MTA can do better, what the Mayor can do better, when is a NY team going to win a championship, and what is a great slice of pizza. Newsday chats with the cutting edge of pizza conoisseurship. Experts include Ed Levine (whose book, Pizza: A Slice of Heaven, is just out), Long Island pizza chef Geof Grayson, Audrey Aponte who writes on pizza.tienmao.com, eGullet's Sam Kinsey and, of course, our good friend, Adam Kuban of Slice. Kuban has been impressing commoners and the esteemed media alike with Slice's so-good- it-oughtta-be- patented "pizza bottom" shot (at right). Gothamist loves these articles not because they make us ridiculously hungry for pizza early in the morning, but because they give us the rest of the day to plan our Wednesday pre-America's Next Top Model Cycle 4 dinner.

Favorite pizzerias in the article include: DiFara's in Brooklyn, Patsy's in East Harlem. And here's eGullet's NYC pizza survey.

A&S pizza is disgusting. Unless you like brown pizza. YUK

The panel seems to pompous. How about some drunks coming out of the bars at 4am?

MT

That's because it's in Staten Island! ;-)

tien

um, i would say that the best pizza is hardly ever near where i've lived.

Bet you never thought you'd hear that the best slice of pizza in the city is on Staten Island. A&S Pizza near the courthouse on Stuyvesant Place has the best pizza I ever tried. makes me wish I lived next door to the place.

Kornett's is OK, but the intense size masks the fact that, in the end, the pizza itself is only mediocre.

Ever notice how the best pizza always happens to be at the pizzaria next to where one lives? (Same thing goes for one's mom always makes the best apple pie.)
