I've been to like five different places and so far it's all average as hell. The NY style pizza in Charleston SC is bigger and waaaay better than the stuff here. Is pizza just another bullshit NY brag?

If you can't find good pizza in New York, then you aren't really trying. Same thing here.

You need to look up the big name pizza places. Don't expect every pizza joint you see to have amazing pizza. It's not like that anywhere in the world.

What places have you gone to? As a native New Yorker I will say that a lot of the famous spots are overrated actually. Two of my favorite spots I've never even heard anyone mention.

That's literally how NY pizza is advertised. Like go into any hole in the wall and it'll be the best pizza you've ever had.

The reason NYC pizza is so celebrated is literally just because a lot of people live there.

They're just cheering for the home team.

Oh? Cause I was in NYC riding the subway and a lady was in a hospital gown, cackling, and smoking a big cigar. Does that happen everywhere?

you have to ask the locals

but yes, it will literally be found in a nondescript hole in the wall, probably without any advertising

It's a cycle. Katz's was great until it became nationally famous, then the quality worsened and the prices rose. Then some other place is a hidden gem until it's not hidden anymore.

Always found it hit or miss there. Locals just eat garbage dollar pizza. A lot of the good pizza makers moved to the burbs or to places like Florida. So much good NYC style pizza in Florida.

Its the same over here for a lot of the local foods. Without meaning to sound like a hipster, once a great place gets discovered and becomes really popular, it tends to go downhill shortly afterwards.

Its often because the owners sell up when its at the maximum perceived value.

If you're used to shitty Carolina pizza, then it's no wonder you don't think actual good pizza is good.

It's like growing up on McNuggets and then being served actual chicken cutlets and thinking they are gross.

Manhattan

Just hit a $1.50 Fresh Pizza (formerly 99c Fresh Pizza). There's a few scattered around. Certainly can't compete with anything wood-fired, but still better than nearly anything outside the area, and you can't beat the price-to-performance ratio. Ideally, eat it folded while you're walking to get someplace important.

I'm from Queens and never heard of that first one in my life. Spumoni is pretty famous, but haven't had it.

I don't know if I've had any of the really famous spots except Johns of Bleeker and I thought it was mid.

If you're in Manhattan I would recommend Artichoke pizza. (But not the artichoke slice, it's a wet, disgusting mess.)

When I was in Charleston there was like 1 pizza joint open late and the line was out the building. But it was delicious. This was years ago not sure if more are open late now.

Anyway Im not in nyc, Im outside the city. But the pizza is definitely hit and miss. For every decent place theres 10 shitty ones.
