New York Za vs. New Haven Za [SPLIT]
« Reply #15 on: August 31, 2005, 06:00:15 pm »
It\'s a flat out stooopid argument.  I for one love New Haven pizza, but that\'s what I grew up eating.  But hell, I also like my French/Mick mothers meatball receipt, and think my buddies pure bred Italian Mom can\'t cook\'em for shit. but again, cause I grew up on it.  I don\'t think Chicago deepdish and NY style pizza compares to the Elm City pie.  But you know there\'s probably a group of kids sitting in the mid-west saying that nobody makes pizza like they make out in Chicago... all that special "great lakes" water being the key ingredient.

um... i\'d rather drink bleach than NYC tap water.

just throwin this out there, and i really have no opinion in the za battle, but do you think if you were a native new yorker you\'d back NYC pizza over NH pizza?



Actually all the NYC water comes from the watershed resiviors which are in westchester county and north of us. So if your water in NYC sux then it is most likeyl the pipes in your building.

I live right in the heart of the watersdhed and the water quality is great.

NY pizza vs. New Haven. hard to do for a few reasons. There are only 2 places in New Haven that generally get the nod for best in New Haven.

You ask 3 NYers were to get the best pizza and you gonna get 3 different answers.

Now this may be a stupid thing to say but there is a pizza place local to me in Goldens Bridge right off exit 6A on 684 North called Portofinos. They make a killer Pie. I have had a lot of pizza since living in NY and I have to say they make my favorite pie. Not to mention the specials. So if you happen to be going north on 684 I suggest stopping for a slice (if you can call them that, they are about as big as a small pie)

back to za, relating it to said threads show.

1st, why you dont see "New Haven" style signs and you do see "New York" signs. Basically, New York is known throughout the country and world, its a household name. I coulda sworn I saw a shop in Montreal last time I was there that said NY Style Pizza. Does it mean the za inside was good? I highly doubt it. But will it attract the tourists from, say, colorado? Surely. Its a gimick!

And to settle the debate, why don\'t you all bring a Sally\'s pie down to NYC on the 9th and have a taste test with a NYC pie. Mind you the Sally\'s pie would be at a disadvantage being luke warm by the time it arrives, but I still think it wins hands down.

mike i was under the impression that we in westchester dont use the water from our own resevoirs, that it comes from elsewhere.  i could be mistaken, but i\'m fairly sure that at least the croton resevoir is soley for NYC use.  (i\'ve seen people do all sorts of things in and around the croton resevoir that would make me never ever want to drink anything that came from there)

I think that Portafinos is some of the worst pizza ive ever had in NY.  They make huge pies to substitute for the low quality ingredients used.  Cheese Tastes like Plastic, sauce/dough = nothing there.  Everyone hypes that place like i never believe.  Just my opinion.

Now, Gerardos in Mt. Kisco has got the gully pizza, check that shit out.  It aint nothin liike Sallys in haven, or Grimaldis in BK.  I remember Peck, Timmy, this kid adam, and i all took a cab from manhattan to Brooklyn to get a pie at this place Grimaldis (formerly Patsys) i thought it was the best ever, and they all stuck their noses up at it claiming Sallys was way better.  I think Sallys, it isnt only the pizza.  Its the belief, that when you walk in, you know that you are going to get SUPER old school delicious pizza before its even served.  its hard to let go of a belief, that is why i think that some cannot accept that there is better pizza out there, like in NEW YORK baby.

The Northeast definitely features better pizza, subs and Chinese food.

theres a certain radius around new york city that if you leave this radius, you should NEVER EAT THE CHINESE FOOD.  i was down in florida on tour one time and i ate chinese and it made me feel like i was going to die.  SO BAD!

Chineese Food is the human equivillant to Dog Food......

That being said, from the right places that I have found (or get recommended to), General Tso\'s Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, and Lo Mein satisfy my cravings for the human alpo

Wow. Their food kicks serious ass. I have never had a meal in there i didnt like. They are the only restaurant i have ever had on my cell phone. Now granted I usually get the specials but I like their pizza a lot. But i like sauce that isn\'t too acidic and I know a lot of people who like that. My stomach cant take acidic sauce so i tend to like a sweeter more mild sauce. Im all about the sauce :) But ill tell you the specials there are killer
