Quote:All this corporate pizza talk is making my stomach turn. I know I'm very lucky to live in a place with many, many amazing Mom & Pop piza joints.


If anyone is coming for the big game or otherwise - do yourself a favor and don't go to Ray's or any of the chain spots. Try one of these:

-Giuseppina's in South Slope Brooklyn. (excellent calzone as well - wood fired oven - served with freshly toasted oregano)

-Lombardi's - a little touristy of late cause it's the oldest pizzeria in NYC. Still good though. (just north of little italy)

- Zero Otto Nove - if you want a near fine dining pizza experience with $40 bottles of chianti. It's pricey but very good. Their (original) Bronx location may be a bit cheaper.


- If you are in pinch and can't get to one of these there are several Patsy's about town that aren't as great as the others listed - but head and shoulders over the other chains and they originated locally.
