I always liked Gino's East with the cornmeal crust.

Sorry...I'm a pizza snob, and here in NY, we are certainly spoiled with the best. The greasy, fold-in-half classic NY slice is great, don't get me wrong...but over the last decade there's been a renaissance of authentic "Nabalidon" pizzerias in and around NYC.

The magic is due to simple, amazing, ingredients (fresh Mozzarella, imported tomatoes, and pillow soft dough)...also, a 900 degree oven, that cooks the pizza is less then 2 minutes.


Here's a few stand-outs:


Roberta's (http://www.robertaspizza.com)

Don Antonio (https://www.donantoniopizza.com/gallery)

Motorino (http://www.motorinopizza.com/gallery)


Honorable Mention in Summit, NJ:

Pizza Vita (http://pizzavitanj.com)

What about the place that is often first in the polls one reads, Di Fara?

Thanks again to Leon, the sponsors, and the speakers who took their time to come and speak at the banquet. Jeff and I had a great time, but unfortunately couldn't stay long because of our drive home which we lose an hour going back because we are on Indiana stupid time zone. Anyway, had a great time seeing some old acquaintances and met some new ones as well.
As for the pizza, it was fine because it was meant to be an appetizer, not a meal, and because it didn't cost $8 a damn slice as it did on the convention floor!

TIm, $8 for a slab of pizza on the convention floor is quite competitive with the TPG slab rates. Of course the $8 pizza slab is ungraded and of questionable authenticity.
