Absolutely not. I've lived in a lot of places in the US, and almost none of them outside of a couple of major cities in New England had the equivalent of a NY slice. This has only changed somewhat recently (maybe past decade or so). Even still, it's not nearly as ubiquitous. It's kind of similar with bodegas, a lot of people will say "we have corner stores too" but that's not a bodega. It sounds snobbish sometimes but there are a lot of actual differences.

New Haven CT has the best pizza in the US (and arguably the world)

  Yeah, this guy needs to visit Wooster St stat. Also, my fave place after living in New Haven for a year was technically in West Haven (Zuppardi's) but that's splitting hairs.

    I’ve spent time in New Haven and NYC and… not even close. Sure there’s good slices in New Haven, but there are also pizza deserts, and a lot of them. New Haven does compete with NYC on restaurant-style pizza though.

      Most of the good places in New Haven (Pepe's, Sally's, ...) didn't even do slices. New Haven style requires a fresh, whole pie.

    Yeah this is how this conversation typically goes "but we've got good pizza from X, Y, Z restaurant" — is not the same as just walking to the corner and paying $2 for a big cheese slice — the NY slice is essentially a street food, like street tacos are in some states along the mexican border
