Di Fara’s (RIP to the old man)
Lucali’s in Brooklyn (lines are too long tho)
Best Pizza (Frank hosted a show dedicated to pizza on cable that was very informative…he’s good friends with Mark Iacono - owner of Lucali’s)
L&B Spumoni Garden (try the Grandma slice)

Gonna hit up Roberta’s this weekend (heard good things)

Not a huge fan of Patsy’s (original location) or John’s on Bleeker (despite what Portnoy and his minions say)

99.99999% of native Italians don’t even think that what is served in the U.S. can be called Pizza.

For starters, the ingredients (including the cheese), are different.

Vincenzo’s Plate is a great show hosted by Chef Vincenzo Prosperi, where he and sometimes his Nona show how to cook authentic Italian dishes, and where he does reaction videos to people and restaurants that routinely slaughter Italian recipes, including renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsey.

Vincenzo is a really funny dude, and a great Italian chef. He explains in great detail how to prepare each authentic Italian dish, and what kind of ingredients are really needed to achieve the correct results.
 
Every conversation that hijacks an otherwise quiet (or not) thread will be moved here.

It's really not only NYC water (best in the US...straight from Niagara falls) but the type of oven means as much. You cannot have a Coal fired oven in NY.....Been outlawed....unless you're grandfathered in.

Don't forget the wild yeast that's in the air. IMO, that's the biggest reason you can't duplicate an NYC pizza, except maybe New Haven that's not too far.

With the yeast portion of making dough, it comes down to "Dry Yeast"...or "Yeast" that was added to water, and allowed to bloom. Also, Honey is a major factor in making Pizza dough....God only knows how much I've made in my life.
