Everyone chill out

Barone's makes a decent grandma pie (ask for it well done) and as a bonus is in the restaurant where they shot the date scene in Fast Times At Ridgemont High, when it was a restaurant called The Matterhorn Chef.



We used to go to Barone's all the time, until Mulberry Street opened.

Best pizza I ever had was in NYC at Rocky Lee's Chu Cho Bianco (RIP).



Sinatra used to order his from there when he was in town. Right up there as well was Mimi's on Lexington between 84th and 85th (RIP).



Bobby Flay got his start working there and it was Paul McCartneys go-to pie. My daughter lives in the village and likes John's on Bleecker St. I like that too but it is too much of a rugby scrum to order. I want a slice, not an elbow in the kidneys.

How is https://mymidici.com/ I heard they make a good one. Never had Mulberry but when I am in that area again I will check them out.

That looks like traditional Neapolitan, not NY thin crust. We have several very well-reviewed Neapolitan places here in LA but I am not a fan. Tastes soggy, bland and bready to me.

What can I say? My tastes are a product of my hometown...

Every place has its strengths. Street and fusion tacos are the bomb here in LA, but it is really hard to find a decent taco in NY and no one does adobado or guisado, just grilled. My cousins ordered from a supposedly top-caliber taqueria in Brooklyn when I in town last month and it had pre-made tortillas that it didn't even grill on the plancha before serving. Kludgy mess by the time we got them. Amateurs.

Barones was also used in the recent Movie "Licorice Pizza", which was filmed all over the Valley. Let's not forget the place Frank used to eat at regularly on Magnolia, down the street from you. JOE PEEPS. Lido/Chi Chis has a great old school Italian pie too.
