The New York slice

New York is the best place in America for pizza. There is no doubt any anyone’s mind that this city is where the pizza culture the nation now enjoys started. Italian immigrants came over and brought their cooking traditions along. The traditional neapolitan pizza slowly evolved into something more hearty and richer in flavor. Nowadays, it's called the New York slice. It's simply cheese, tomato sauce and maybe a little sprinkling of garlic bread crumbs or chopped basil. Where should you go? Head into the Lower East Side and into Williamsburg Pizza. A large triangular slice, with gooey full fat mozzarella and sweet tangy tomato sauce and all for just $3. If you want to go to the holy grail of NYC pizza, walk into Joe’s Pizza and get any kind of slice they sell. The cheese is a blend of hard and soft fat, and the sauce has been simmered down to a concentrated flavor.
