Reviewing NYC Pizza

[&roid]

I’m coming back to NYC in a few weeks, for the first time since pre-covid. Any can’t miss pizza places fellow gulleters would recommend?

Any style you're looking for?  Different places specialize in different stuff - the standard NY slice, Grandma style, neo-Neapolitan, etc.  Also, what neighborhoods do you think you'll be in?

We’ll be staying in soho but will be in most places south of the park during our stay. 
 

I love Neapolitan and New York style pizzas so if there are any truly great options there I’d be delighted. Also any great Detroit style options we should look at for a bit of variety?

Get to L'Industrie.   Scarr's on Orchard St. As for Joe's pizza, I actually prefer the original Joe's, on Carmine and Bleecker, as opposed to the new outpost on 14th, but that's just me.

 

Emmy Squared will be Detroit-style.

 

There's a lot of Neapolitan, as well as neo-Neapolitan.  From UPN, to Don Antonio, to a branch of a pizzeria in Naples, L’antica Pizzeria da Michele.

Out of a wise man’s mouth…

Today, students pick at their rehearsal Margheritas as they await the return of the other trainees from their exams, under the scrutiny of local pizza celebrities Gino Sorbillo and Paolo Surace.

 

Gino had a place in NYC, opened in 2017 or so.

 

 

 

It closed.

I respect them for trying to protect Neapolitan Pizza, but not Pizza in general.  Looking at the menu Weinoo posted, I suspect that many Italians would object to them claiming that their pizza represents the whole of Italy based on the toppings (e.g. speck in the north, nduja in the south).  I think proponents of Roman pizza would have quite a bit to say about the idea of adding guanciale and pecorino and calling it a Roman pizza.
