Pizza Points
There is no such thing as healthy pizza. All pizza is loaded with grease, fat, salt, and carbohydrates. To eat pizza that isn't also delicious is a terrible waste.
The kind of oven doesn't matter.
California Pizza Kitchen isn't the only reason New Yorkers hate Los Angeles; but it is the best reason.
If you're going to have a test pizza, it should be a plain cheese slice. If they can't get that right, no amount of toppings will fix things.
Salt! There should be a little in the cheese and in the crust.
Calzone is paranoid pizza - you can't actually tell what's inside that dough until you bite...and then it's too late.
Plastic utensils were invented specifically to prevent meatheads from trying to eat pizza with a knife and fork.
Good Brooklyn pizza tends to have a crust that's a little sweeter than Manhattan pizza. Alas, Manhattan pizza tends to be less flavorful.
The age of the establishment has little to do with the quality of the pizza. Just ask them at [name redacted].
The best slice I've had since I came back to New York cost five bucks; it came with a second slice and a can of soda.
As of three years ago, La Lanterna had a pretty good Pizza Margherita; also Pino's in Brooklyn (although the crust is too thin there). I know people who swear by John's pizza...but they are still my friends.
