#2>There’s also a strong geographic connection between the subway and pizza: Of all the pizzerias in New York City, 79% (1438 / 2290) are within a 10 minute walk of a subway entrance.
according to that map (and common sense) basically everything in New York is a 10 min walk from the subway even if it isn't a pizzaria.

#3I enjoyed this article, it used ML to classify geographical areas in NY culturally, based on pizza topping availability and $1 slice availability.
They also attempted to predict the likelyhood of availability of toppings, based on neighborhood features.

Not quite: this map [1] illustrates that there are large swaths of eastern Queens, southeastern Brooklyn, the Bronx and even parts of Manhattan that are more than a 10 minute walk from the subway. Since blocks between avenues are 1/3 of a mile long (and 1/20 of a mile between numbered streets), at 10th Av and 23rd St, you're about a 10 minute walk from both the 23rd ACE and 34th 7 stations (assuming you can walk a mile in 20 minutes).
What a lot of people don't realize is that the subway is not all that convenient to where large parts of the population in the city lives and a lot of people take busses (or a combination of a bus & a train) to get where they need to go.
Edit: a version of the map I posted is in the article.

If pizza places were evenly distributed, what percentage of them would be greater than a 10 minute walk from the subway?

Um, how many people actually live in those islands you found? A lot of those narrow islands could be eliminated by just increasing the walk time to ~12 min. Even more should be covered by the recent 2nd ave extension. The whole strip on Manhattan's East side will be covered once the 2nd Ave line is finished. No one lives in Newton Creek. Many of the other transit dead zones are functionally low rise suburbs. I wouldn't be surprised if the population on those islands you found is dwarfed by NYC population overall.

Any culture can redefine what pizza means.

Stupid question, but are you the actual Kim Dotcom?

The most important lesson I took from living in new england was to never argue food with anyone from Boston, Chicago or New York. Pizza and the regional opinions surrounding it, are more part of their identity than language or religion.
Baseball and politics are the safe topics. An article about pizza and subways ... say far away.
