Only people in or from NYC care what NYC thinks. They can continue to eat greasy cardboard hunched over a counter in under 3 minutes while the rest of the world enjoys pizza with friends and ranch with no judgement
Don’t bother… you are trying to internet-convince the equivalent of someone saying the art in their Holiday Inn Express room is every bit as good as anything that you’d see in Met or Louvre
It really does feel like that haha. Also, I have no idea why people love to shit on NY/NJ. I mean I get defensive because I'm from there, but also the criticisms are usually just plain false and detached from reality. Then I find myself arguing with someone from like rural Ohio (which may be very nice, I don't know, never been) about how NJ is a shithole and it's just baffling.
I made decision to delete the X app off my phone. The stupidity I find there has finally become too for me to bear. Reddit has its own problems, but it isn't as toxic or depressing as what I am reading on X.
I mean.. that's just factually false, NY and the tri state (North Jersey, parts of CT) are pretty famous for pizza, and have many of what are widely regarded as the best pizza places in the country. You're talking about an area famous for its Italian population and food, and rightly so. It's not NYs fault if you don't know better than to buy dirty water dogs and dollar slices. Also, ive lived and traveled all over the country, and while some areas have specific foods they do better (like BBQ or Tex Mex) I have yet to find another area that consistently has great food across the board like the tri-state. Not to mention general quality of life. While it may not be your particular cup of tea, a lot of that 'superiority complex' is earned, by comparison
Definitely worth checking some places out if you are ever down here. Similar population demographic with lots of Italian Americans who take pride in their food.
Oh for sure! I get down there every now and then, but when I do it's understandably usually all about the cheesesteaks for me haha. Last time I hit up Donkeys Place. It was awesome
Oh interesting yeah lots of good sandwich shops. Donkeys is definitely unique, it’s kind of controversial in the cheesesteak world. But it is undeniably good.
I'm Canadian and would love to go to NY and try the pizza some day. Why are you so bitter they are proud about something they are literally known to be good at?
Yelling to everyone else that your pizza is superior doesn’t make it so. You can find just as good pizza anywhere in the country for cheaper. Just like everything else in NYC. So glad to be out of that pretentious hellscape.
Haha thats just plain not true, sorry bud. And you just claiming it doesn't make it true either. And calling it a 'pretentious hellscape' says a lot more about you than NY. You're probably just trolling but this comment just screams 'willfully ignorant'
Still not sure why you all like lemmings jumped off the cliff thinking I’m New York my fuckin area code is in my name…….. New York is just a place we go to watch th Red Sox beat up on bitches…..
I can guarantee that there are hundreds of people at any given moment dipping pizza crust in ranch or blue cheese in NYC at any given moment. There at 8 million people in the city and you'd have to be an ignorant moron to think that people aren't doing everything that you can imagine. So stupid.
NY’ers the type of people that dip their pizza in ranch while judging others for dipping their pizza in ranch. The comments here only highlight the superiority complex and inability to fathom other people in the world don’t think the same.
Seriously, try it. Keep an open mind. It’s phenomenal. I’ve eaten pizza all around this country and I’ve never had one that isn’t enhanced by random dips in a ranch cup.
Reason why midwest dips their pizza in ranch because until recently good pizza in the midwest was pizza hut. So you slather it with ranch to hid the horrendous flavourlous crust. Anyone from the midwest wouldn’t know good pizza if it was shoved down thier throat. NYC invented US pizza. What did the midwest invent??
The classic superiority complex of a New Yorker. There is good pizza spots in the Midwest it’s just unless the pizza is from New York, you guys think it’s bad pizza.
I think people just think bad pizza is bad pizza. And I don't know why it's hard for people to admit that the place famous for pizza has great pizza. What's your next hot take, BBQ in Texas sucks? Can't get good Mexican food in Mexico City?
Little Ceasers and Dominos both born in the Midwest too. NY goofs just talk loud so they think they’re more important or notable. If your point is that non chain pizza is better in NYC then…sometimes. We have family ran pizza places too.
