Honestly, a solid take! It’s more of an optimization problem — find the best balance of quality, proximity, and price, and you’ve got your favorite slice shop. If you’re at a friend’s or a loved one’s, that solution changes, and you begin to associate the flavor of that slice with them and their home. Sometimes it’s worth it to make a trip out to one of the pizza Meccas—Lucali, Joe’s on Carmine, L&B Spumoni Gardens, etc.—but more often than not, you’re set with your local slice.

Unless you live in Downtown Brooklyn, where there is no good pizza. Then you’re just fucked.

I really think another good thing about NYC pizza is that they aren't trying to make NYC pizza. They're just trying to make the best pizza possible.

they are - there are lots of slices that you'll basically only find in this area because there's a market and expectation for them

Re: downtown Brooklyn: I think Norm's on Adams Street is quite good.

had their white slice earlier today.

falco of roberta's fame consulted on their opening. i recommend checking out any restaurant he's helped open (all over the world now).

I do not get the love for L&B Spumoni Gardens!

My reaction to tasting their food was similar to this: https://youtube.com/shorts/ra72I-5t5D0

Downtown Brooklyn has Norm’s and Juliana’s. Sadly the whole area is kind of devoid of commercial activity and restaurants.

There used to be a place in the Atlantic center food court that deep-fried their pizza base. It was unconventional, but pretty great. Unfortunately it closed somewhere last year I think.

Forcella Pizza. Solid place, unfortunate to hear they closed.
