This might be controversial but the realization is that I’m so over Neapolitan pizza.
It came to me when during a trip when I was eating a couple of slices of NY style pizza and thought, this is perfection. It was non pretentious and well made and made me immensely happy. The pizza was perfect! I have never had this experience with Neapolitan style pizza. All though I’ve had many enjoyable experiences with Neapolitan style pizza in several countries there’s always something that bothers me (and the majority of times it’s a soggy pizza crust or that there are too much burnt crust).
Thank you to the Italy for inventing pizza and to New York for perfecting it! ❤️

This looks amazing! I’m heading to NYC in a few weeks and would love to know where this is?
I’ll eat it but Neapolitan is my least favorite.
I disagree but you do you! Love both, but I make Neopolitan at home and I think it’s the best. But hey, the world is interesting because we’re all different 😆
New York for perfecting it 😱? Neapolitan pizza is from Naples, the rest of the cities in Italy make it different and someone brought it to New York. You like Roman pizza exported to New York.
I do love me the new york slice, it’s accessible, it’s quick, and it’s delicious. I will say though when I leave NY and try NY style slices elsewhere it’s 50/50, a lot of places just get the crust completely wrong
Preach brother!!
1. NY/NJ
2. Detroit
3. Neapolitan
P.S. Chicago Deep Dish is not real pizza
How many Neapolitan pizzerias you see in New York?.

So are you arguing that the sit down restaurant pies you ordered weren’t as tasty as the slices on the street? Because here’s the thing I’ve not seen anyone talk about, although someone probably has. The slice sitting under the lamp for a while is ALWAYS better, no matter what the style. Though it’s almost always NYC style. Something about sitting in its own hot, juicy grease under that lamp makes for a little extra magic. I get slices and whole pies from a place near me in Ann Arbor that is an excellent NYC style shop, in an upscale booze store no less. It’s maybe the best pizza in the area and the window slices that have been sitting for bit are noticeably better
Pan and NYC for me .
Anyone else like chain pizzas like Little Caesars?
Yeah after getting closer to real neapolitan i determined i wasn’t into it.
Dunno if what i make is roman or just, my own style. really thin hand stretched, not much of a ring of crust, baked at about 730f and a bit crispy.

That exactly how I feel!
I came to that same realization this weekend since I’ve been making my own pies. The biggest deal for me is that NY Pizza can handle more toppings and neo is fairly minimal. I love both pies but for my family, they want max toppings and I’ve found that NY pizza just holds together well.
There are lots of different kinds of pizza. Neapolitan is just one kind. It’s okay to favor another. They all have their time & place.
NYC really does have the BEST pizza. Nom nom nom. 😋
Same realization. I’m over it. I enjoy it, but I’m over it.
😮💨🔥
I’m not over it but diversity is key to keep enjoying it. Our family has a rotation of Neapolitan style take out / eat in then Tavern style, sometimes other styles etc.
Those have a bit of a Michael Scott “New York Slice” vibe to them 🙂
I bend the knee your grace
