Finding The Best Pizza In New York

What makes a great slice of pizza? It must be hot. Cheesy but not too greasy. The crust needs a complex, developed flavor. Pizza is an art. But there’s one huge problem. Every restaurant in New York claims to have the “world’s best pizza.” Somebody is lying. In fact, most are. That’s why we decided to embark on a completely unbiased review of the top rated pizza spots all across NYC.

Big thanks to my research partners Lynja and Danny (Cugine).

Most people know New York City as the pizza capital of the world yet everyone here seems to claim to have the best slice luckily I got two of my friends who happen to be food experts here to help me find the best slice in the city

Today I’m not an easy reader I’ve been around the block ain’t giving no freebies today let’s go rate some pizza we don’t we have French Street Pizza they’re famous for their pepperoni slice you got to get a corner well done field class I’m so excited Linda you want to

Do the honors pepperoni Square supposedly they’re famous here around the country for their the pepperoni spark is the most famous right first thing I do notice guys it’s nice and hot three slices in here I say you take the corner here’s to the First Slice of the day let’s go Foreign make little pepperoni cups right right that’s a good slice got that nice oil harder crust on the bottom but then it’s fluffy on the inside you’re sucking up all the oil over there BP oil spill I really like the heat I don’t think I’ve

Ever had a pizza I had to eat like that we should give a rating out of 10 for each one what do you think eight and a half this place Linda what’s your view nine you guys are starting so high right out of the gates our first place I’m

Gonna be a little bit low seven and a half which is still a great rating but I don’t want to go too high right off the bat I want to kind of set up my change to seven and a half later it’s a great slice of pizza no complaints should we

Head on to the next spot on to the next let’s go so we are now headed to Joe’s Pizza lots and lots of celebrities supposedly you’ve eaten there Kendall Jenner to Diddy the Jonas Brothers I’ve even been to Joe’s once and it was a pretty good slice there it is Joe’s

Famous Pizza Lynch I’m pretty sure this is cash only in Kuja and I don’t have cash no problem part of the reason we have to do this video is all these places are bragging about themselves and saying they’re the best I mean yeah it’s a little ridiculous everyone’s got the

Number one slice you’ll be the judge of that oh yeah Joe’s pizza place like Peter Parker used to work it Pizza time if you don’t know now you know one of the best looking slice of eats I’ve ever come across cheers got the nice jar crunchy the cheese nice

And salty oh it’s perfect it’s typical New York slice can’t get anywhere else in the world fantastic slice of pizza I only complain there’s quite a lot of liquid coming off it should be used in low moisture and what’s that out what’s going on well I’m homeless

I don’t have enough it’s like four or three the rent is too damn hot I’m gonna do one quick Crush bite here it’s like a brownstone yeah a million miles come on let me just say everybody in the city already knows cool this guy is a king of New York City

Somebody’s recognize that oh no who cares why don’t you start us off with a ratings it’s like a nine two yes who’s what does class mean places just gentlemen like oh pretty to me a track shoots class I’m taking my last votes and downgrading it two or seven and

Making this a nine I’m gonna go ahead and give this a nine one great slice of pizza is the kind of pizza you dream about when you think about pizza so we next had to do a really famous spot Bleecker Street it’s on 69. so

All I need to know is that it’s on 69th Street okay right up here we have Bleecker Street Pizza they get their cheese from Italy every single week in Florida they cost them over a thousand dollars which for cheese is kind of a lot of money and supposedly they also

Have a damn good slice what’s going on thanks for coming to my place how about a little diet coke maybe maybe a little DC too you know it’s a shame they don’t even know who Winchester she’s taking the picture it’s a meal not a slice very seasoned like it has a lot

Of oregano out there it was ten dollars worth of oregano when I looked at it initially I didn’t think I would like it so much and after tasting it actually has some of the best flavor of any slice we’ve had today so far definitely got some complexity it’s a fight I will wear

It right there it’s a salad it’s got basil on it it’s a salad counting I’ve eaten more of this slice than I have anywhere else I’m gonna give this one a nine one as well I’m tying it right up with Joe I’m doing an eight six I’m

Doing an eight I like the cheese but it’s not what I think of when I think of a New York slice of pizza it is classy but I guess I’m not so classy we’re at John’s of the leaker Street very famous Miss New York Pizzeria you can’t get a

Slice here so we’re getting a whole pie oh that looks good it looks good I mean the whole fire that’s the original That’s The Clash 100 year old of it I wasn’t even liquid yet not very liquid right now take that first cheese Bowl oh it’s a nice thin cheese Bowl this is

Like an emoji slice of pizza it’s like the perfect slice of pizza oh my God I’ve already burned off the roof of my mouth today it’s shocked I don’t really care anymore I clash it’s a really accidentally slice of pizza flavor from the coal fire I can’t replicate it

Either you got it or you don’t they got it it’s a slice of pizza that you want to keep going in I love it I’d rate it a 9.1 we’re gonna throw a nine four for that it’s so close with Joe’s I would say but I’m gonna go nine two that’s my

Favorite so far John’s a Bleaker next up we’re headed to Lombardi’s Pizza supposedly responsible for bringing the first pizza to the U.S gotta be the best if it’s the original they’re claiming it right there on the wall just like we said coach you see that honestly right

Off the bat it’s a good looking pizza hold on though it’s a little wet it’s a wet one it’s a soggy bottle know listen I had like the pepperonis just like Prince Street he’s even got a little more cake when she definitely Takes the Cake he’s a salad though it’s

A nice little almost like a personal pie the pepperonis again are like they’re really cute almost some of them are crunchy pepperonis which is fantastic however it’s a very oily Pizza it’s very wet and it doesn’t hold itself up if this is the first pizza that came to America

Lombardi’s I’m immediately going right out with the 6.9 it was a really promising looking slice unlike weaker Street which I thought didn’t look promising and then it turned out to be a lot better than I thought it doesn’t hold up its own weight there and that

Kind of upsets me good slice of pizza just not as good as what we’ve had for most of the day 6.2 I don’t like pepperoni so why are you just telling us that now it’s okay it is a little oily although I did like the sauce that’s why

You got a 6.2 you better hope that there’s no Mafia behind this truck Can’t even tell the difference next up scars Pizza they milled their own flower in their basement Shady cozies will be at scars Pizza apparently they got some really classy slices Milling their own grain for flour for the dough I’m sure there’s other Milling that goes on down

There maybe maybe not a real cameraman would go downstairs Pro tip though sometimes if you’re at a restaurant with a long line or take out you’ll get it way before everybody else strategy yes I um how long would it take to get three slices okay you have to come and shop at

The store okay no problem it doesn’t hurt to try and we got the goods I got enough Lactaid to uh save I don’t know what I was gonna say Save a Horse nice looking beautiful crust I can tell it’s gonna hold its own weight not drippy little

Drip no drip no flops different type of cheese in here and I like it the type of cheese that itches your mouth a little bit for me is that a good thing I don’t think that’s a good thing you know I might just be relaxing I think I’m

Allergic this kid’s gonna die on us I like the spices I would say it’s about an eighth athletic 8.75 I’m gonna give them that extra little bit for kind of being more creative with cheese in fact I’m all these Brooklyn I’ve heard great things I mean I’ve been here once before it’s a

Real old school kind of Joint inside I don’t have Diet Coke though so that’s kind of a shame less no cheeseburger no clay I got a whole salad stem on there this might as well be a salad yeah you feel better about yourself not a very good pizza still

Eating it though I don’t know it’s a little shady I know what happened with this pizza you make mozzarella you got to be quick you got to be gentle you gotta be delicate you gotta know what you’re doing what in the is going on there whoever made this cheese that’s

On this pizza right now overworked the mozzarella and it’s gummy and when your teeth bite through the mozzarella that has that consistency that you’re talking about they didn’t make good mozzarella not my favorite slice today I’m going to give this a flat this is big on the basil but still I

Give it maybe a second we’re trying to finesse a quick slice from Juliana I’m gonna use our couge mentality over here strategy it’s really honest Pizza isn’t it beautiful word on the street is they got real good pizza I hear good things I hear bad things this is crazy though oh

My God it’s going wow look at that pie what do you guys think these little pizza tables are for I think it’s supposed to like hold the bag keep the bag up so I heard from somebody a lot of people use it when I rip the slice so I

Don’t have to touch both of them I push it down and I go like that the more you know it smells delicious oh massive flop actually it’s like an old man it’s really similar sugar Maldives and they’re next door to each other they got something Shady going on I think they’re

Just trying to handle the traffic draw a different name on it how you doing this piece is better though in my opinion I give this pizza for me it’s a super solid Pizza very similar to Grimaldi’s they’re right next door I agree it’s kind of sketchy I don’t know

What they’re doing over there A2 that’d be an A2 what will be paid hey we’re now here at defare’s in Brooklyn this is a staple and they got a very unassuming storefront as you can see there’s just a window and I do uh three squares I gotta

Get a picture this is gonna be my second or third lactate of the day I don’t know how many you’re allowed to have in a day but I’m gonna push that number as far as it’s got the fresh grated cheese on there I’m happy about the face

Oh we can’t be having that Reynolds Wrap I’m gonna give it an A3 the bottom there it’s deceiving because I think there’s a lot of oil in the bottom and it’s almost been like deep fried the crust however it’s in there and it makes it really

Crispy so you don’t notice all the oil it doesn’t drip on you 8.7 would you give it eight three I’m gonna do a nine five he does high ratings yeah no but that’s fair this is actually one of the best pizza places I think it’s the best in

New York the best of the world yeah wow Crispy Pizza Brooklyn they had this vodka pie that just went viral on the internet so we gotta give it a try we got the uh yeah all right all right there we go perfect with tobacco slice crispy pizza I mean

Look how they hook this up and then they got the three three eight domes oh it’s like a 10 Pizza of the day so we’re pretty tight I’m gonna try one of the rainbow slices given that this is our 10th slice of the day or something no one is meant to eat

That much pizza even in New York I mean one two slices it’s enough slices we’re gonna do a nice solid nine one bit of a bloated rating from cooge again I do feel like there’s a big layer of cheese in the middle that’s not melty

Enough for me the crust for me is a little bit kind of amateur it’s your average one of the mill how do you know I look for a really kind of in my pizza a really complex dough that by itself can kind of stand alone as a good bread

And I don’t really see that with this one 7.2 7.5 as Michael Scott said every time he comes to New York he doesn’t go without going as far so let’s hit it I’m gonna go get me in New York size we’re here at Sparrow I gotta say the slice

Looks pretty solid definitely super greasy last slice of the day this tastes like absolutely and I originally gave me it I gave it a negative tree model we’re gonna decrease it to a negative five really unseasoned bowling alley Pizza attack don’t disrespect Chuck E cheese

I don’t know about you both but I don’t even think we really have to give that one a rating Pizza it was perfect I’m gonna go with a different one from both of them John’s Bleaker Street I thought the slice was fantastic they gave us the whole pie it

Was hot it was perfect it was well rounded there’s really no answer to what the best slice of pizza in New York City really is if I want to give a great big thanks to both Linda and Coos for coming out today I put all their LinkedIn channels in the description below and
