Ate at John’s of Bleeker Street in NY. Portnoy gave it a 9.3 – the Margherita was INSANE

    You just made Reddit very jealous…. 🤤

  2. Portnoy is such a huge piece of shit. Sad that people think his opinion on anything is of any relevance.

    Johns is great though.

    I travel to NYC my teenage son and tried a lot of places as we explored the city. John’s was next level. Just a perfect balance and flavor. Many slices we tried would be sloppy and the cheese would slide off, this was just perfect and I’m not sure how they are so consistent.

    Nice! I used to pass up Marguerita or a white pizza thinking it was too plain or simple and boy was I missing out! Simple done right is 🤌🏾

    Planning to try it on my next trip to NYC. Curious what separates it from the rest of the pack. Looks like maybe fresh mozzarella? Slightly over fermented dough (extra flavor but smaller crumb)?

    I got to try this for the first time about a year ago and I agree — it’s legit as good as any pizza I’ve ever had.

    Those thin slices of basil look so good on it. Wish more places did something similar rather than just whole leaf basil.

    All reviews now are 7+ unless it’s really bad or you don’t want a review

    One of my favorites. Stop there every single time I’m in NYC.

    Portnoy is a moron I’ve learned. We tried multiple of his +9s and they were a 6 at best.

  11. John’s is great, Portnoy is a human colostomy bag

    Fuck Portnoy. When did people let some dude from the asscrack of MA be the arbiter of pizza?

    Portnoy is a moron.

    “I like one type of pizza, but I’m going to review all types of pizza. Here’s a number I thought of that’s lower than one you would say.”

    Who the fuck cares what Portnoy gave it?

    Johns has been a classic way before Portnoy

    Ate there a few weeks ago. It was the real deal.

    That grandma slice is absolute heaven

    Portnoy and all these food mags/cites ruined John’s. Now the Place is always packed and it’s a wait. When I was a kid, I always went there. 80s 90s. I Could always get a table!

    I’m happy the place is doing well and the pizza hasn’t changed but it’s too busy for me.

    I’ll die on the hill that the nonna maria slice from bleeker street pizza across the street is better than john’s

    This still remains the best pizza I’ve EVER had. Indescribably good to someone who’s never had it… Absolutely delicious.

    Do not bring Portnoy into this? That man is of infinitesimal worth on this planet.
