They're perfectly legitimate spots. F&F is superior to nearly any place in the city, L'Industrie is fine. The others are also fine. Yes they're touristy, but so what?

Outer-borough superiority is a myth. Most local outer-borough places are simply bad. This includes all the usual suspect neighborhoods: Belmont, Pelham Bay, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, most of Staten Island, etc. The good places are the exception in the outer boroughs, just as they are in Manhattan.

The link's list looks decent to me but it's not because of the geography.

I didn't say they were illegitimate. They are certainly pizza spots. Acting like it's not a good list because the poster didn't go to the top 5 most famous tourist traps for pizza is just indicating more on your part.

I didn't say all the places in the outer-boroughs were inherently better. I said a list where the individual actually went to the outer-boroughs is more qualified in my opinion. I don't really care what someone thinks about pizza if they just went to the top 5 places that they saw on instagram. I also don't really care about your opinion on pizza too. Oh you went to pelham bay and didn't get a good slice at the joint you chose? Seems more like a you problem. Maybe make some friends, talk to the locals. I grew up in an outer-borough and I know the good spots in my neighborhood and the bad. Seems like you have difficulty navigating these things. Sorry about that.

You’re dismissing a very legitimate quality difference in inner vs outer boroughs. There’s like 3 or 4 notable places in outer Brooklyn (s/o krispy pizza) that can compete with the dozens of incredible slices in inner Brooklyn.

I’ve spent less time in Queens, but it seems Queens really does have a lot of great food outside of the hotspots.
