Everyone is obsessed with NYC but these types of slices can be found in all the major east coast cities and is definitely one thing I miss about Philly. I'm in LA now and you'd think with how many Italians there are around here there'd be a higher standard but nope.

Well, and I can't personally confirm this, they say NYC water is somehow better for making the dough in this style of pizza.

  That's a myth. There's a pretty good NYC style pizza place in Maui and it tastes exactly the same.

Philly and New Haven are basically the only 2 other cities that have solid “pizza cultures”. If you go to Baltimore, DC, or Boston you can’t get anything close to an NY slice without traveling significantly out of your way. Even then, the ubiquity of the NYC slice shop can’t be matched

    Yeah an important clarification is New York is really only dominant in slice shops. Great restaurant pizza exists almost everywhere now. I’ll have to check out your Philly recs.
