Pizza in New York City, NY

People like to bandy the phrase "New York–style pizza" about, as if the Big Apple has a definitive slice of pie, but there’s much more to the New York City pizza scene. In other words, the best pizza in NYC could be anything from the charred, bubbly margherita pizza of Motorino to the thin-crust Sicilian squares of Joe & Pat’s in Staten Island. The quintessential New York–style pizza—foldable, by-the-slice, and fresh enough to burn the tongue—can still be found at classic joints such as Joe’s Pizza in Greenwich Village, but Totonno’s Pizzeria in Coney Island, opened in 1924, might stake a claim as the New York pizzeria. It’s at least one of the oldest.
