> but the overall quality of your average slice in the city has definitely suffered

This is true of the big national chains, too. They've kept prices relatively stable for damn near 25 years, at this point, but quality has gotten far worse over that same time span. That mouth-watering Pizza Hut pie you remember from 1992 isn't all nostalgia—every now and then I find single-location or small-chain joints that make pizza very similar to how I remember those tasting. Thing is, those are like $15+ a pie now, with a coupon or special. But you can still get larges for $8 or less (coupon or special, which are available 100% of the time) at the major chains—they're just not the same pizza you were getting in the 80s up to about the late 90s.

[EDIT] In fact, the 2020-on inflation is the first time I've seen the big chains seriously give in on keeping price increases in check. They've gone up like 20% in the last couple years.

Gotta get up to 101st and Broadway and try sal & Carmines. Little hole in the wall but was my favorite NYC slice despite no one ever talking about it.

I'm visiting NYC for the first time in May - first thing I researched was pizza, so really appreciate this work. Thank you.
