Also, it's the best type of pizza there is! CoolGuy 04:51, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Damned straight.--Deridolus 02:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All I know is that whenever any of my relatives (who have moved out of the New York area) return for a visit, pizza is the first thing that they want to eat. Steggall 17:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC) _______________________________________________________________________________[reply]

Personal experience with this type of pizza has invariably been that the pizza is "slimy" and the toppings are easily influenced by the inexhorable pull of gravity and that great care must be exercised to prevent the goopy glop atop the bread from falling pell mell into one's lap.68.13.191.153 19:33, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really "slimy", it's very slippery or greasy. The sauce definitely has to do with it. 72.89.174.246 (talk) 02:27, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a forum for improving the Wikipedia article, not general discussion on the topic. Because of policies concerning original research and neutral point of view, your comments don't contribute much toward our goal. -- Coneslayer 19:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's your OPINION, huh?68.13.191.153 21:11, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

tap water--myth?

"The secret to true New York pizza is said to be the tap water that New York City and the surrounding area receive. But this is largely a myth. The true secret is the technique of the preparation" Now, I'm a New Yorker and I definitely belive the water makes a difference. I don't think anyone has actually tested this though, so should it be called a myth? Just curious. =D Lizzysama 02:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard this, and I've lived here over 15 years. And without a source it shouldn't be included at all. --Mmx1 02:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DragoonWraith 08:56, 28 November 2006 (UTC): I've lived in NYC all my life (18 years, so we'll say that my cogniscent time here is probably a bit less than your 15), and I hear this constantly. I actually decided to find this article solely because I was curious if it was true.[reply]

Having done a fair bit a travelling, I can say that I've never had "New York style pizza" that actually tasted like pizza from New York...

My family, friends, and most of the people I know talk about it involving New York and Florida mostly. This is because I know a lot of people who moved there and say the water is the reason that their pizza tastes different. I don't really think it should be included either because it's not really a fact. Lizzysama 04:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I removed the whole thing :-) It does not sound encyclopedic. --HappyCamper 15:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's little difference between pizza in NYC vs. on Long Island, even though the tap water sources are entirely different. Sounds like BS to me. -- Nasarius (talk) 19:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

new york?

I was in and around nyc from 1984 to 1999, and when people I knew referred to new york style pizza, it was the thick stuff from ray's and st mark's. I think we need to amend the article to note that the term is muddied, meaning different things to different new yorkers... - Akb4 08:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article says: 'New York style pizza is often referred to as "pie" or "pizza pie."' Is this a regionalism? New York style pizza is common in my part of New England, but is never called "pie." GMcGath 23:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weird. I'm from Jersey, when we order pizza it's only a question of how many pies. So I think this is a case of regionalism. --Endless Dan 16:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Pizza" means "pie". "Pizza pie" is like saying "egg foo young," which means "egg with egg" or "hamburger sandwich."72.78.177.33 (talk) 19:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reference New York Pizza Finder and Blog?

I have a Web site and a blog that are dedicated to helping people find New York Style Pizza when they are away from the New York area. I'm wondering if it would be too self-serving to put a link to these sites on this page. The sites are at www.newyorkpizzafinder.com[[1]] and pizza.wordpress.com [2]. What do you think?

Well, I waited a year or two for a response and never got one, so I went ahead and added a description of the New York Pizza Finder site. It is now a wiki site so anyone can add good New York pizza places to it as well as reviews. Tom S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsliker (talk • contribs) 03:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

photo of slice

There needs to be a better photo of a slice of pizza, as this one apears to have a bite taken out of it. 218.186.9.1 13:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, probably the photographer! Nita Reads

I will replace that photo soon! --Endless Dan 16:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Best Pizza There is, NO exceptions

NYC pizza is the greatest pizza there is! Proud to be a New Yorker 72.89.174.246 (talk) 02:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ingredients

I dough being unique is a slam dunk, but I have been informed by many that to be genuine it must contain sauce and mozzarella ONLY... Thoughts??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.37.107.170 (talk) 04:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

preferable, but small toppings like sausage or mushrooms that get embedded into the pizza are ok. nothing that's going to fall off or lay on top like pepperoni or peppers —Preceding unsigned comment added by A plague of rainbows (talk • contribs) 15:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
