Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland have pretty good, though expensive pizza.

Has any NYC bagel aficionado living in Boston tried Bagelsaurus? (In Porter Square, on Mass. Ave.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xup2Lcd4Ers
Not Boston’s but I’ve had a ton of “you have to try this one bagel shop in town, it’s just like New York!” Generally speaking they’ve been decent enough bagels, but the shops don’t have the turnover to be able to ask “what’s hot?” and get a reasonable answer. Also, the appetizing game tends to be pretty weak. Occasionally a shop will fly in Acme, which is admittedly impressive, but it tends to only be nova. I’m hard…
Native New Yorker here. Out of towners are obsessed with the BEST slice, but the true measure of NYC's 45 degree greatness is the decent quality following a Poisson distribution. My tip: just travel to any random spot in the five boroughs. First; you will be impressed how close you are to a pizza spot wherever you are. Second: you will be impressed with the slice, and with the variety of people who are good at making…
If you want to brag about anything you have a much better case with bagels.

One thing I've heard said about French food generally in the past is that there's an entire supply chain in France around French food in particular so you really tend not to get bad French staples at very many places--even if it's a random touristy place. You can rinse and repeat in many places for various items. For example, when I was last in Germany, you'd get good sandwiches with good bread at any random train st…
In the NYC metro area we actually have a great supply chain for bread, it's New Jersey.
Artichoke is gross. How do people like it, I will never understand.
is the new lucali slice any good?

> First; you will be impressed how close you are to a pizza spot wherever you are. Second: you will be impressed with the slice Unless you're in Bed Stuy. Most of the pizza here isn't worth the cardboard it comes in.
This is absolute Seraghina slander. Maybe it's not Ops quality, but definitely better than Barboncino and one of the greats in the Roberta's-style lineage.

I have to strongly disagree. It is kind of fun and amazing how many pizza places there are around every corner. The problem is, most of them are sub par. In fact, I feel bad for people visiting who just walk into a random slice place because odds are it won't be very good. The great thing about NY pizza is that it very good and very plentiful. But the crappy slice joints are even more plentiful.
Hello, I am the maker of the website. I'm sorry to hear it's crashing some browsers, I'll try to figure out what's happening. It's a clean install of wordpress so I'm confused what I did wrong. The reason there is an odd amount for dollar slice total is that one place had the nerve to charge me tax ($1.09). I concede that the quality at Joes has gone down over the years. I am closely noting the recommendations in thi…
