wut? I lived 7 years in SF, and 5 in NYC, and there is no comparison.
SF has good deep dish (Little Cesar and Paxtis), and maybe one good true Italian/wood/brick pizza in Northern Beach but that's it.
In NYC you have good pizza every other block (as well as crappy $1, or $2/slice type of places ).
Once you try few places, you find which ones are good/legit, and stick with them, and avoid the crappy ones.
For pizza and bagels there is just no comparison between the two places.
- inferiorhuman 9y agoBagels are a whole different ballgame, you can't find a decent bagel in the Bay Area. But pizza? Your typical place in New York isn't a whole lot different from what you'd find at New York style places (e.g. Escape From New York, Serranos, Arinell's). The 99 cent chain isn't as bad as folks make it out to be IMO. Out here you've got plenty of wood fired places 'authentic' and not (e.g. Zuni, Tony's, Una Pizza Napoletana, Pizzaiolo); Indian (Zante, Brother's); California (Zuni again, Goat Hill, Arizmendi / Cheese Board -- their sour dough puts puts anything I had in New York to shame); deep dish (Little Star, Patxi's, Zachary's); and, of course, Delfina. The typical New York pizza isn't significantly different in overall quality than the stuff you find in the Bay Area. If you go looking for it you can find excellent pizza in New York I'm sure (but the same is true in the Bay Area).
