The pizza at Sorrento's on the Harmony last month was good, if that means anything.  As stated, it's just comfort food...

Am I right in saying that the pizza here has drastically improved over that last year or so?

I'd read before that is was terrible but have been reading recently that it is much improved.

You might have a bigger fight on your hands arguing the best pizza in NY!

Same thing here.

It's funny, when family and friends visit from out of state, they all want pizza, bagels (most actually take some back!) and a meal at a diner during their visit. They also want Carvel soft-serve ice cream if they don't have one where they live! ☺️

All pizza is good in my book... even had the real thing in Chicago a couple of times (my employer is based in Chicago). Delicious! ?

Haha, did all those things first time in NYC!

I've had good and bad pizza all over the country. Yes, even here in Chicago! ?

Pizza like all things is very regional. Don't even get me started with hotdogs! I am a big fan of Nathan's though.

Ha! Ha! At least you can get them anywhere! Yeah, I like Nathan's and Sabrett probably best... Hebrew National is OK too. 

Wow, I'm getting hungry with all this talk of food... where is the Windjammer when you need it!

I know! If you go west of the Hudson River in neighboring counties or states, they put yellow mustard on hamburgers... even fast food chains... yuck! :51_scream:

We always have to ask first!

The absolute 2 best hot dogs are the ,"dirty water dogs" from the creepy guys' NYC street carts AND the ones in the store at Costco. They are huge, tasty and are still only $1.50 WITH a soda! OMG!!

Ahem..... Dude-- if you and I go to Nathens and order 4 hot dogs, 2 orders of fries, and 2 large drinks you know that costs over $40, right?

Let's save a lot of money and stick with Gene and Jude's.

And some places even put ketchup on their hot dogs! Blasphemy I say!

Yes, my wife is a sinner... loves her ketchup on her dogs!

I like the spicy brown "deli" mustard on mine usually! I also like to shake it up sometimes with sauerkraut or chili, maybe cheese and bacon... yum!

Love Gene and Jude's. I like Nathan's when in NY.

Agreed! Love the unknown with those dirty water dogs! The gambler in me loves it... a little like Russian Roulette!

Yes, Costco's monster hot dogs and soda w/ refills for $1.50 is nice... they take the loss knowing you can't leave the warehouse spending less than $100!

And don't forget Italian bread! SIL in NC took back 6 loaves last time.

Image result for new york pizza

Rule of thumb - Don't even consider getting thin pizza in Chicago and don't even consider thick pizza in New York.

Stick with what each place does well and enjoy!

I was looking forward to trying "real" pizza next year in Italy, but we are only going to be in Venice and I've read it's not as authentic as say Naples because they do not allow wood burning ovens in Venice. It's some kind of law?

Correct , in Venice they are not allow open flame ovens just electric one , they want to avoid any fire risk inside the city. But outside the the city its allow so you can get a Pizza in  Venice Mistre.

Pizza is better. Once you tried the best (Chicago), nothing comes close.

Totally agree!!!   I think the pizza has improved in the last 3 years, but I'm not super picky.  Any pizza is good after the deluxe beverage pkg!  Jane
